    I bought the Tensor Insulated last year (long wide). I used it on a few trips. The first couple of times I used it, it hurt my back, but I think I was over inflating it. I got used to it anyway. On my first night of a thru hike attempt, I accidentally put a hole in it. I will say, even with a deflated Tensor Insulated pad, I was able to sleep in sub freezing temps, though not as comfortably as when it had air. I submitted a warranty claim to Nemo when I got home (I explained on the form that it was my own fault). I was just hoping they might help repair it because after multiple repair attempts, it was still losing air. Nemo had me ship it to them. They replaced it with a brand new Tensor All Season. The All Season is a definite upgrade. It's lighter and has higher R value. I've used it on 2 nights so far and it did great. Thanks Nemo.
    Good review BTW. :)

  • @MrSportdiver
    @MrSportdiver 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I bought the all season a few weeks ago and i camped at -7,-10 and i was toasty warm. I added a foam pad underneath the second night but it was the same. Also i am a bit heavyweight (100kgs) and i sleep in numerous positions and i was comfy in every single one of them. Hands down i could recommend this pad to anyone that it’s not going to extreme expeditions.

    I have the BA Zoom UL, I just love it and sleep like a baby on it. Took it out a few days ago in upstate Pennsylvania in 32f and shivered all night. I have watched a lot of your videos about sleeping pads, so I knew its limitations at that temp. I rewatched this video today and decided to buy the Tensor All Season along with a Filo. Thank you for the in-depth review and explanation of the differences between the All Season and Extreme Conditions pads. 👍👍👍

    @peterfagley772 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I purchased the Extreme Conditions Tensor last week after watching Eric Hansen and have used it twice here in the White Mts.of New Hampshire. I already owned the Tensor Trail but wasn't always that comfortable on it. The Extreme just feels better and the weight is not an issue as my treks are usually not that long. You make great points about all three and folks should find your presentation very helpful in deciding which is best for their use.

  • @rodoutdoors
    @rodoutdoors 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Nice. I guess the All Season is comparable to the Insulated Wide I've been using. The sleeping pad was probably the one thing I wished I saved up for instead of grabbing a budget pad first. Probably my favorite feature of the Tensor is how fast they deflate. Makes packing up so much less frustrating.

  • @elisebrown5157
    @elisebrown5157 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Since it's the multiple layers of mylar that seem to make the difference, I wonder if putting a cheap space blanket under the pad would get you another point or two of R-value? That would be an interesting test and maybe a way to extend the usefulness of a pad into shoulder season (or an even colder season.)

    @DaveOffGrid 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Awesome reviews Devin! Interesting that each pad manufacturer seems to be going up in R-Value. The old Tensor non-insulated used to be a few ozs lighter. Not sure I agree with going up in the R-Value. My old tensor is 3.5 and I've had it down to freezing no problem. What they did right with the mid-option is increase the R-Value for the same weight as my old one. However, prices have gone up as well. Used to be $179 for the 3.5 r-value pad. Great breakdown of the tech! You and Justin are the pad bros!

    • @BackcountryExposure
      @BackcountryExposure  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks, Dave! The other thing to remember is pad performance isn't just about r-value. Ambient temp, size of the pad, your body size and how much of your sleep system covers the pad, and ground temp all play into the performance.

    Excellent comparison! Now their lineup makes sense. I probably went overkill when I grabbed an Extreme when they came out. But that was before the all season was released and the Insulated was a touch cold for me in the 20s. Oh well.
    The Trail is a bit of an oddball. I get they need something to compete with the xLite, but the R value is closer to the uberlite. At least it’s cheaper and more comfortable.

    On the other hand, I was on a quest for the most comfortable sleeping pad. I’m in love with the Nemo Quasar for backpacking trips. When camping where weight isn’t important, I sleep with an Exped Megamat 10 Duo, Exped DeepSleep 7.5, or the Nemo Quasar. The megamat feels better than my bed at home, and yet the Quasar cradles so well..

    How did you find the sound of moving around on the new Tensor. Old thermarest pads were “chip bags” the newer ones considerably quieter. The old Nemo tensors were pretty quiet comparatively. How would you compare the new Tensor to the old Tensor and/or to the newer Thermarest? Thanks.

    • @BackcountryExposure
      @BackcountryExposure  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The pad is very quiet. I don’t really notice the sound much at all. Which was the same on the previous gen too. Honestly, I believe the NeoAir pads are the biggest offenders cause of the baffle construction and fabrics used.

    Trying to decide between the trail or the all season for motorcycle camping, typically in warm weather but sometimes into fall. Within a Marmot Limelight 2 tent, I sleep off the ground with an Alps Mountaineering cot and UGQ 20 degree quilt fully open like a blanket. With that setup, I guess I’m concerned that the all season might be too warm, maybe even hot, if I were in a Midwest campground on a midsummer night for example. Which would you recommend in that scenario? Cost between the two is not a factor.

      As a side sleeper, I find any of the sea to summit pads great. They're lofty and I haven't had a bad night. I used their extreme version last winter and it's warm enough for me but because it's so plush it doesn't pack down very small. So I went with the Nemo extreme this winter and it's been great. Although it's not as comfortable as the sea to summit, it packs down small and it kept me cozy right around 28 degrees. I haven't been further down in temps yet.

      Yes it’s the Matis. I wasn’t so sure about it on paper, but in person it’s an impressive tent at first glance. Really well constructed, and a lot like the TT Dipole 1 DW. But this is single wall, and wider than the Dipole 1. It’s a bit short though. Anyone close to 6’ is probably gonna struggle with the length.

    I do not understand this update. My 2022-2023 Nemo Tensor (regular wide) weighs in at 19oz and has a 4.5 R value. The previous version from 2020-2021 was 19oz and 3.5 R value.
    How did they bring the R value down to 2.8 while ALSO raising the weight by an ounce?

    • @scott.the.sailor
      @scott.the.sailor 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think your confusion is exactly why they changed their product line: you have the insulated version and are comparing it with what is the new version of the NON-insulated pad. trail=non insulated, all season=insulated, extreme=cold weather

    • @DevinSchiro
      @DevinSchiro 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mean, sure. I get the marketing. But a single layer of reflective metal is still technically insulation. By that rationale, Nemo is saying “1 layer = non-insulated, 2=insulated.”
      Unless I’m seeing this wrong. I’ve no ego here, just genuinely wondering why they changed what was ultimately the most versatile R-Value. 2.8 is on the low end and anything over 5 can be a little too warm. 4 was the sweet spot. I appreciate most innovations but unless I’m totally off the mark here, I’m really not sure I’m stoked on this change in ratings.

      Bingo.
      But hey I could be wrong. Maybe R-5 is better! At the end of the day, it still seems odd that the higher R-value pad weighed in lighter last year.
      Unless it was from superior materials to bolster its reliability. If they told me “it’s heavier cause it the baffles are reinforced better” I’d take that weight penalty gladly.

      @@mobilewintercamp7515 The issue is that air temperature is only half the equation. You could be cold on a pad in the spring on wet/frozen/cold ground when air temps are well above freezing or you could be toasty warm in the late summer/fall (when the ground is warm) when air temps are below freezing. That being said, the r-value test primarily measures how well a pad prevents heat loss to the ground and not the air around it, so you have to keep that in mind too.

This is the survival or extreme bag rating, this is the general comfort zone for most people with a base layer beanie and wool socks. This is the R value of the pad and this is that corresponding temperature. You should be comfortable down to that air temp depending on ground temperature theoretically for the average person. Something to understand what R value really translates to buying a product that is in the projected parameters of a person region or planned hikes.

    I’m mostly curious if Nemo has addressed the issue with the baffle seams leaking.
    I carried the Tensor on my PCT thru hike last year and it started seeping from the baffles within only a few weeks. A few other hikers also had this issue and it’s devastating because it’s not something you can patch.
    I reached out to Nemo who conceded they were aware of this problem at a manufacturing level but denied any comment on whether they were going to address it in future iterations.
    They made good on my warranty claim but it’s made me very hesitant to carry their pads without some sort of backup foam pad going forward. Especially on a longer thru hike where you’re very limited in options if things like this happened. I was so lucky to be passing a town with an REI when my failure occurred. Had it happened in the sierra? In a record breaking high snow year? Could have been catastrophic.
