Good, but not great
This pad is sooo close to being excellent. I would recommend getting the all-season for only 3 more ounces.

Another Nemo win
Sweet sleep with this thing. Easy to inflate, holds its air, those baffle things inside keep it flat so no rolling off and I felt well supported. Can't speak to it's durability yet only had it long enough to use in a backyard overnight shakedown. Outside of those guys/gals in the hyper ultra light crowd I don't think you'll find better. I love it.

Best sleep I’ve had
My brother let me use this pad on several camping and hiking trips and I decided I could not live without it. I’ve tried a few other sleeping pads and nothing compares. I’m 6’ and the long is honestly more than enough, I could’ve probably gone with the regular but definitely pick up the wide.

Good Pad
Originally purchased the regular sized pad; it was too narrow. I am not very big either. At 5'5" 118 lbs and female, I found slipping off contrary to needs. I swapped for a regular wide pad. It was not the pad; rather the fit. I highly recommend a Wide size so you NEVER slide off. This pad was used with s sleeping bag and a quilt. It worked for both. Strongly suggest WIDE straps if you plan to comfortable use your quilt. The R-factor was suitable for a rocky Mt thru hike. In super cold conditions, I also use a closed cell pad under the Nemo for warmth. I also used the pad at many state and national parks, During hotter weather, use a Zen Bivy sheet to prevent your skin from sticking to pad; the sheet is worth the minimal weight and hassle. I have a bathtub floor and foot print in my tent. Now there is an "extreme" pad I am considering (the black one they show) The R-factor is higher and I am a cold sleeper. My only ding for this pad is the nature of the two blow holes. It took me several times to master the holes with proper fit and tension. I feared ripping the blow holes from the pad as I had to use a lot of force removing the enclosed blow bag for inflating. Still, I recommend this product. practice.

The Best Sleeping Pad Out There
I have been using Nemo pads for years now, and once I got my hands on the Tensor, I have never looked bag. Incredibly ultralight, small footprint when packed down, super durable material and I love the ingenious design of the inflator.

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.

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!
