II took this for an overnight hike on the AT in the first week of January to test it out. The temperature at night got down to the teens, but the Nemo Tensor Extreme and the quilt I was using kept me warm and toasty. I’m sure I would’ve been fine in even colder temperatures.

It's a good, light weight, functional piece of kit. You can feel the butt warm up as soon as you sit on it. Might be hot on the buns in the summer. My wife and I hike with them always now. It's nice to have a cushy and dry place to sit out there and rest our old butts so we can go further. Love it!

Love the pillow. Super soft, comfortable & durable fabric, perfect height at 3.5". Wish silicone dots were a little more substantial & sticky but pad strap works beautifully..

Sleeping Pads FAQ

What are sleeping pads? 1

Sleeping pads, sometimes called sleep pads, sleeping mats, or air mats, are insulated layers that go between you and the ground, protecting your body heat from escaping into the cold earth and providing cushioning for a comfortable night's sleep on the trail.

Are sleeping pads worth it? 1

Yes. A quality sleeping pad is essential to a complete sleep system, especially when using a quilt, since it provides the bottom insulation your top layer can't deliver on its own..

How do I choose the right R-value? 1

Choose an R-value based on the cold temperatures you expect, with R-1 to R-3 for summer use, R-4 to R-5 for three-season trips, and R-5 and higher for winter camping and colder temperatures. What is the difference between an inflatable pad and a foam pad? Inflatable pads pack down small and offer maximum comfort, while foam pads are lighter, more durable, and never pop, though they offer less cushioning underneath you.

Can I use a sleeping pad with a quilt? 1

Yes, and it is recommended. A quilt relies on your sleeping pad for bottom insulation, so pairing a higher R-value inflatable pad with a quilt is key to building a warm and efficient sleep system.

Should I choose synthetic or down insulation in a sleeping pad? 1

Synthetic insulation handles moisture well and is more common in inflatable pads, while down-insulated pads offer a higher warmth-to-weight ratio for a restful night's sleep in cold weather conditions. Check out our comprehensive guide for more information.
