Appalachian Trail pad

I used this pad for 2198.4 miles on my 2023 NOBO thru hike of the AT. It had a slow leak but who cares. I'll find the small leak and fix it and it'll be an even better pad. This pad is awesome and so comfortable. I mistakenly bought an uninsulated pad but never had an issue when temps dropped into the teens. This pad served me well. One thing, I'm a tall guy at 75 inches so I bought the long wide. Didn't need it, I'm going to buy a regular soon which will save weight. Again, thanks Nemo and this AT thru hiker appreciates this pad and 100% recommend this product.

Very fragile and developed pinhole leaks

Bought a Long wide pad and it had a pinhole leak while trekking the W trek in Patagonia.

Started great, but only lasted 18 months..

The good: One of the more comfortable pads I have used ever, super light and when rolled up is one of the smallest pads out there, so it does not take up too much space inside your pack. The bad: Lots of holes the last few months, after 18 months of using this pad and about 100 nights out on it, i've put 10 patches on it, and it will still no longer hold air. which is a far cry from one of my older Nemo Tensor Insulated Pads which has been going strong for more than 5 years. I was super bummed to toss this pad, but I think I am done with NEMO for a bit till they fix their manufacturing/materials/quality control problems around these.

Holes after ONE use

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Height:
5' 6"
Weight:
165

I took this pad out to Arizona for my first use of it, no issues. A few weeks later, I head out to Wyoming to use it. I wake up at 2am and this pad completely flat. I found the hole and patched it, only to realize it was still deflating. While I realize this pad has a warranty, I wouldn’t trust it to keep up in a more dire situation.

Pay what it takes for good sleep!

As a motorcycle camper, and I'm no camping expert mind you, this sleeping pad is comfortable and packs small and light. I've taken it on 2-3 trips and haven't had any issues. It pairs up really well with my Zenbivy core bed, this combination really temps me to sleep in it for a night when at home. A friend of mine once told me "Buy once, cry once". Well this sleeping pad was substantially more comfortable than his bargain Amazon sleeping pad, so he bought a Nemo sleeping pad after feeling mine!

Perfect Pad, a puncture, and still a great sleep!

You know a sleeping pad is awesome when is gets a hole on the first trip and you still give it 5-stars… This thing is so comfortable and lives up to all the reviews and hype. The hole was all my fault for not clearing the site better and my pad just happened to be sitting on the random, largest thorn branch I’ve ever seen. Fortunately the included stick-on patches were the perfect fit and it pumped back up, held through the night, and slept like a cloud all night. I was in a 30° bag and it got down to 30° and I was warm and comfortable all night. Can’t wait to see how this thing does on snow next winter!

Incorrect R value

Size Bought:
Reg wide

Backcountry states R value of 3.5 in product description. Item arrived and right on the box R value says 2.5 . I?m always pleased with backcountry and have purchased many of expensive items and this was the first time I experienced a minor disappointment. Do your research buyers. Sometimes mistakes happen
