Ultralight Sleeping pads for elk

CJ Reichelt · Mar 26, 2024

Im running the big agnes Rapide SL and decided to go for comfort rather than ultralight. Sleep is more important to me than some ounces. Big difference using it this year compared to past Thermorest pads in sleep and comfort.

Big Agnes Rapide SL or Zoom UL, length and width of choice...

I have the Big Agnes Q-Core Deluxe. Its not super light but not heavy either and the Rvalue and thickness is pretty nice.

That's funny you mention "too hot" on Nemo tensor extreme. I used mine this fall down to 10deg or so with a potential 15 deg sleeping bag setup, I was almost "too warm" as well. It caught me off guard. Funny we are complaining about it because most would view as a good thing.

Wonder if I could sacrifice a bit of bag weight/rating and stay warm……

I bought the Nemo Tensor All Season(I think it was).

I spent 2 nights at 10.5K feet and I was the most comfortable I've ever been on the mountain! I was successful on day 3 and didn't need to stay out longer.

I use to dread spike camping because I wouldn't sleep but now Im excited for the next one!

Xtherm here. But the Nemo tensor has my eye to check out.

Nemo Tensor, pick one with the insulation you want. I have a Long Wide Tensor Ultralight. Night and day better than a Thermarest, not even close. They aren't horribly loud, insulate well and the baffle design doesn't allow the air to shift crazy off when you move. It's a comfortable pad. I wouldn't compromise any lighter if that makes sense. It's worth the weight.

Their pillows are decent too but I prefer the Exped down. I use the inflatable Nemo pillow as backup in our camper or travel or car camping. Exped down in the pack.

I've got a thermarest nxt that's been good to me. Air it up, lay on it, and air it down to your preferred comfort.
