Tensor Trail
Improving on our original, best-selling Tensor line, Tensor™ Trail offers versatile warmth for three-season adventures where weight is the top priority. Designed to take you from spring to fall, it keeps nights restful and packs up light.
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 is a suspended layer of ultra-thin, metallised Thermal Mirror™ film, which efficiently reflects body heat and contributes to the pad’s overall 2.8 R-value. The layer’s clever floating construction eliminates the crinkling, crunchy sound that many insulated air pads are known for, earning Tensor a reputation for peace and quiet under the stars.
Spaceframe™ Baffles - Unique Construction
Tensor All-Season
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, metallised 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.
Spaceframe™ Baffles - Unique Construction
Tensor Alpine Insulated
Ultralight Series
Three layers of suspended metallised film and a unique construction efficiently retains your own body heat. Tensor Alpine brings warmth and comfort to cold weather camping. A combination of compact size, light weight, and warmth.
A zero-profile, multifunctional, micro-adjustable valve. Vortex™ pump sack provides fast and easy inflation without introducing moisture into your pad. Patent-pending Spaceframe™ baffles are low-stretch trusses that provide greater stability and point deflection resistance. Tensor Alpine's unique construction sleeps quieter than other pads.
3 Layers of Metallised film, High Warmth for Weight
Tensor
Ultralight Series
Built on our iconic proprietary Spaceframe™ baffle construction, Tensor™ offers quiet, supportive comfort in an ultralight package. The internal architecture provides unparalleled stability and weight distribution, using low-stretch die-cut trusses to eliminate springiness while protecting elbows and hips from poking through to the ground. A new internal layer of ultra-thin film reduces convection currents and adds R-value.
The Lightest Pad, Single Film Insulation, 2-3 Season use
Tensor Insulated
Ultralight Series
Insulated versions utilize multiple layers of suspended Thermal Mirror™ metallised film, resulting in a lighter, remarkably quiet sleeping pad compared to the competition. Tensor™ now features 100% bluesign® certified, recycled 20D polyester fabrics. It comes with our Vortex™ pump sack, which mates with our custom Laylow™ zero-profile valve for easy inflation and personalized comfort.
2 layers of Metallised Film plus TPU Layer for Insulation
Tensor Extreme Conditions
Ultralight Series
Tensor™ Extreme Conditions represents a new chapter in NEMO back country pad innovation. With its Apex™ baffle internal structure, Tensor EC toasts the competition, achieving an 8.5 R-value and a mind-bending warmth-to-weight ratio.
Using distinctly shaped baffles, the Apex™ design evenly suspends a record four layers of insulating Thermal Mirror™ film inside the pad. The strategic placement and number of layers combine to produce incredible warmth at as little as one pound, making this pad a winter-worthy companion that won’t weigh you down. Just as important, the floating construction prevents annoying crinkling noises, so you and your camp partners can sleep soundly even on the most restless nights. Warmth, quiet, and 3.5 inches of stable cushioning together make Tensor synonymous with comfort.
Four Layers of Floating Thermal Mirror™ Metallised Film
Flyer
Self Inflating Series
A radical new hybrid design in sleeping pads, the Flyer combines the thickness of an air pad with the plush durability of a foam pad — and with minimal weight consequences. Flyer is the first pad to use a completely new manufacturing approach that removes 60% of the foam yet tremendously increases thickness and plushness when inflated, producing a 3D-sculpted topology for a faster recovery after a hard day on the mountain.
Extra Thick Self Inflating Mat
Astro
Recycled, More Durable Series
Features more sustainable materials, with a 100% bluesign® APPROVED, 75D recycled polyester fabric shell and 100% post-consumer recycled Primaloft® insulation.
Astro maintains its legacy lateral baffles, which are more comfortable and prevent the pad from curling under the body. The Pillow Baffle™ at the head end bolsters your camp pillow and helps it not slide off in the middle of the night. Vortex™ pump sack works, Laylow™ zero-profile, micro-adjustable valve for easy inflation and personalized comfort, and helps keep moisture out of your pad.
Tough 75D fabric, Primaloft insulation
Quasar 3D
Body Mapped Series
3D baffling gently cradles and keeps you centred on the pad during the night. The slightly elevated head baffle serves as a headboard, helping to keep your camp pillow in place.
Quasar 3D is our first sleeping pad made with bluesign® APPROVED materials. The durable 30D polyester ripstop is made of 100% post-consumer recycled materials that conform to the body and have a great feel. Custom Laylow™ zero-profile, multifunctional valves & Vortex™ pump sack, allow you to inflate and deflate quickly and easily make micro adjustments for maximum comfort.
