Nemo Tensor All-Season Sleeping Pad

Thank God I bought this. I was a little turned off by the price tag- the fact that the tall version is more expensive than the standard version is yet further evidence that tall people are the most discriminated against minority in America- but I came around after my last paycheck.

I have never slept better in a tent. It doesn’t constantly squeak like those blasted Therma-rest pads, and I don’t wake up every morning with fresh back pain. Most of all, it is about 10 pounds lighter and a fifth the size of the Ozark Trail camp cot that I have been lugging up mountains for the last few weeks. I can even sleep on my side on this pad. I don’t know why I put off buying a decent sleeping pad for so long, but I am glad that this is the one I went with.
