Excited to finally try the Nemo Tensor. It was in my top 2 when I decided to buy a Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm MAX. Both fit my needs for a rectangular 25” wide insulated pad with horizontal baffles.

The XTherm was more expensive, but better warmth to weight ratio and overall insulation (5.7 R-Value). The Nemo was soft, comfy, and quieter, but not as insulated (3.5 R-Value) and probably less durable.

I have many nights on the XTherm and love it. In my opinion from research and experience, it is the best pad money can buy. But my son needed a pad and the Tensor was on sale so I picked one up.

I’m curious to see the difference in insulation performance. 3.5 should be plenty for tonight’s projected low of 36°.
