Minimalist Masterpiece
When every gram matters but you’re still not willing to sleep on a space blanket, the NEMO Tensor Trail UL Inflatable Sleeping Pad is our go-to recommendation. The 2.8 R-Value is just enough insulation to keep the ground from stealing your body heat. Its Thermal Mirror metallized film insulation is pleasantly crinkle-free, while Spaceframe baffles enhance stability when you readjust throughout the night. The included Vortex pump sack makes setup easy, and the Laylow valve has nearly zero profile so you won’t feel it poking into your shoulder while you sleep. It only saves a few ounces over the much more versatile Tensor Trail All Season, which we recommend for most campers, but if pack weight is a top priority, we consider this one of the standout options available today.
