Is the Tensor All-Season warm enough for winter?

Its R-value of 5.4 suits three-season and shoulder-season use and light winter camping. For deep cold, pair it with a higher-R pad or a closed-cell layer.

How does it compare with the regular Tensor?

The All-Season adds insulation for a higher R-value and slightly more weight and bulk. The standard Tensor is lighter and better for warm-weather trips.

Does it come with a pump sack?

Yes, a Vortex pump sack and a repair kit are included. The Laylow valve lets you fine-tune firmness.

Which size should I get?

The Regular Mummy suits weight-focused backpackers; the Regular Wide and Long Wide give more room for side sleepers and bigger frames.

Is it self-inflating?

No. It is an air pad and needs inflating with the pump sack or by mouth.

How small does it pack?

It packs small for an insulated pad, though slightly larger than the lightest uninsulated rivals.

About the Nemo Tensor All-Season Ultralight Insulated

Improving on our best-selling original Tensor line, Tensor All-Season offers greater warmth for four-season use without adding any weight. Designed to be a go-to pad all year long, it straddles all seasons and keeps its reputation for low-decibel dozing. The pad’s interior features NEMO’s proprietary Spaceframe baffle design, which utilizes low-stretch fabric trusses to create stable support and offer just the right amount of give — all while avoiding any wobbly waterbed feeling. Inside each baffle are two suspended layers of ultra-thin, metallized Thermal Mirror film, which efficiently reflect body heat and contribute to the pad’s overall 5.4 R-value. The layers’ clever floating construction eliminates the crinkling, crunchy sound that many insulated air pads are known for, earning Tensor a reputation for peace and quiet on the trail. Armed with premium, durable 20D (top) and 40D (bottom) nylon, Tensor All-Season is better protected against punctures and tears, and — like all NEMO sleeping pads — it includes a Vortex pump sack. Vortex effortlessly mates with the pad’s zero-profile, microadjustable Laylow valve for easy inflation in just minutes.
