Snap! Side sleeper, too. Absolutely love my old model Nemo Tensor Alpine Mountaineer pad. At the time I bought it, the 25 inch wide only came in the long version at, IIRCC, 77 inches. Well, I'm only 5'2". There's at least a whole foot of that pad that I never used, but still had to inflate/deflate and wrangle into a packable entity. I bought the Nemo uninsulated short/mummy version, but it just wasn't as good as my old orange pad. Awesome warranty, but oh well... Yup, I did it. Cut it down to 60" and it's absolutely perfect for me. Weighs less now and so easy to pack up each morning. AND, I just bought the Nemo Filo pillow. My Nemo sleep system is incredible.
Hi Jason 👋 always great to hear from you, hope you & family are doing well, appreciate you, stay safe and take care my friend 🙏 Thanks 👍
Sleeping pads are like shoes... everybody's got to find the right fit for them! Glad that one works for you! I share your sentimentson the neo air. I did not have such a good experience with that nemo pad... my best pad so far has been the exped ultra 3R. But still the hammock is my first love whenever possible! Thanks for keeping with the gear recommendations! Can't wait to see your PCT hike!
Such a good pad. My favorite for a good night’s sleep.
Awesome review! I’ve been looking at different pads lately and this has helped my decision
Perfectly timed video ! I’m trying to put a ground system together, for research for A.T. Attempt. I’ll go with this pad (long, wide) you always steer me right. ( just not sure I can go to ground, just LOVE my hammock!)
Just picked one up at REI on sales for $95. Can’t wait to try it out!
I switched away from the Neoair a few years ago for the long/wide insulated Tensor and feel so much more comfortable on trail. The extra weight rankles my ultralight sensibilities 😅 but getting proper rest is way more important than 8 more ounces.
I absolutely love my tensor pad. I have an uberlight and an xtherm as well… the Nemo is my favorite for sure!
I have the regular and insulated versions of this pad. They’re both excellent
I agree the tensor is really comfortable, but I just picked up the Zoom UL from big angles, and I think it might be the dream pad I’ve been looking for.
Thanks i've been going back and forth!
I have one, totally agree !
I didn’t know you could use a pack liner to air these up. Thank Frozen you just saved me 2.1 ounces
I’ve been considering switching to a tent for weight and space but man I’ll miss that hammock sleep!!
In my opinion the Tensor is the best mat on the market right now.
So much so that I bought two, winter and summer, both long and wide. They’re great.
Buy a Flextailgear mini pump for inflation. 👍🏼
Thank you for mentioning the Flextail. I was wondering if it would work on this pad (which I purchased a few months ago).
@@nalonabrato8900 It definitely works, I just hold it on the valve if it feels loose. Only takes a minute to inflate.
As Dougieranger said, yes it works. Takes 51 seconds to blow it up for me. There are many different nozzles that the flextail comes with. The same nozzle I use for the tensor also works for my Sea to Summit Aeros pillow but the flextail also comes with a smaller nozzle to accommodate the pillow.
Nice! I'm a back sleeper, and I love my Thermarest Neoair XLite, but the Nemo Tensor was a close second when I was comparison shopping. Regular/wide in my case; the wide is a must, or my arms hang off the pad in a super uncomfortable fashion.
I am a back sleeper too! You recommend the neo air?
Hi Jason yes I also am a side sleeper and love my hammock, but there are some places I love to hike and a tent is needed so I need the sleeping pad I am still figuring out what pad works best for me. Take care
I am on my 3rd regular, wide, inuslated which I have yet to use. The previoius two developed holes in a crack area of the base of the pad and were replaced for free by Nemo
I have a torso length Tensor. I will eventually grab a regular wide, when I hike more often!
I’m 6’1 I got the long wide. It’s awesome.
Very nice. I have the insulated wide but have been too hot, sweating at night lately when in a double walled tent for some reason. I love the pack size.
That’s what I was worried about
What temp are you sleeping and what is your bag or quilt rated. I have found that 20 degrees hotter than the quilt makes me hot.
Curious how you would put this against the S2S Etherlight XT insulated in terms of comfort.
if you like the tensor, the quasar 3D is 10x more comfy, weight isnt very ideal but damn it's comfy I actually sleep in on trail lol
I don’t know. Comfort wise I think it’s real hard to beat the Big Agnus Rapide SL long wide. I haven’t found one more comfortable,this one included. But I guess it’s all on how ya sleep!
I agree about the comfort. However, mine failed at a number of of the baffling points, and I decided to go with a Sea to Summit with double air compartments. Almost as comfortable, but reliable. A little heavier. I go with reliability on sleeping pads, after a week long trip with a nonfunctional air matress.
That's not good to hear.
@@FrozensAdventures I'm a big guy and a very restless sleeper. I'm willing to concede that I place stresses on pads that are outside of normal. Nemo replaced the pad and I gave it to my daughter. She loves it.
Agreed the tensor is the most comfortable pad I've ever used. But in the first weed of use I, admittedly carelessly, tore a 1/2-inch rip in it. So do be careful with yours. I repaired mine with thermarest type 1 repair tape and it is still holding after about another week of use.
It also doubles as a Life Raft in case Captain Nemo starts sinking?
I'm 6'1, it's hard to find a pad. I hate my feet hanging off or my head after moving around.
What temp do you feel the uninsulated version is comfortably good down to?
Haven't reached the lower limit on it yet. But I'd say probably around 18F to 20F if you are looking to buy soon.
Hey Brother, where do they sell a short mummy Tensor? I haven’t seen one for sale in a couple of years.
I saw it on amazon a few months ago, but it has since been taken down. Might be out of luck.
How does this compare to the nemo quasar 3d? I'm so torn right now haha. I got the quasar because I'm a side sleeper so 3.5in plus better R rating sounded appealing
Tensor is the lighter option, the insulated version goes down to 20F or more.
Do they have longer pads?
Yes, I use the long and wide versions, they’re great.
If I ever go back to ground, it going to be the Tensor long wide. Never did like my NeoAir Xlite. Too narrow for a back sleeper. Never know what to do with my elbows.
Does it come in any color besides yellow?
No.
If I have to go to ground I’m using the exped mega mat. I’d rather skip the tent and use a tarp if I had to cut weight.
I love my Exped mats 👍
What about new nxt Neoair?
Never used it but, we were talking to a Nemo rep down at trail days and they are redesigning the pad for 2024. It will be a half inch thinker with lighter materials. About the same weight as this version. I did end up getting the wide version of this pad just to try it and it really improved my sleep even more.
Frozen’s swagg made Darwin quit
Darwin got off TH-cam, which is probably a good thing for someone to do
Oh my
Mine wouldn't hold air from the start. Could never find the hole. Thankful for REI's return policy. Went with Sea to Summit and have been happy since.
Heard good things about Sea to Summit pads
Did you get this one for free?
Nope I bought both of the Nemo's I always state if in the video if I was working with a vendor. Again though it has no bearing on the review if it was free or not.
Okey, good to know! Thanks!
However I dont the slightest believe people who dont think free gifts affect their judgement!
Yes it's a shame channels do that. Take a look at my reviews on cnoc trekking poles (sent free) and the first look of evlvd supply co (sent free). It's up to the vendors to work through the constructive criticism and fix their products. If they don't and stop talking to me about it. Then they weren't a very good company to begin with.
True! Newer sell out and keep up the good work! Happy Holidays!
It's pretty insane how much they're charging for these pads these days.
to a degree you get what you pay for.
can buy the cheapo pads. or junkie matresses. not only won't they last, but they're usually dogshit for thermal insulation. ...there's also something to be said for how they're made. the baffle design or how it's laid out does tend to matter if you don't want to wind up sleeping on the ground. at which point what's the point of spending any money on a blow up mat. if you're just on the ground
I guess you havent tried Forclaz helium
This pad stinks from my experience. I used it once and it ended up with two holes on the top of the pad
You totally dubbed in the sound of smashing a bag of Lays Potatoe Chips when editing the noise of the Thermarest... FAKE NEWS!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Actually nope. That's actually the sound of my thermarest. Could wake an entire shelter
My stepdads was like that for a season, it was unbearable.
Hard pass. Sticking with my hammock or Outdoor Vitals pad I bought on sale for ~$70.
