The lightest insulated air mat on the market
Light is always right when you’re aiming to tackle a long trail. And if you’re looking for a superlight sleep system, NEMO’s Tensor Elite now takes the crown as the world’s lightest insulated air mat. Tipping the scales at a mere 235g, it offers a lofty 3 inches of cushioned comfort when inflated.

The mat also incorporates a zero-profile valve for quick and easy inflation adjustment. Pair it with a backpacking quilt or down sleeping bag and you’ve got just about the most comfortable superlight spring-thru-summer sleep system around.

The idea of NEMO was born one turbulent night on the side of Mount Washington while Cam Brensinger spent a sleepless five hours in a poorly designed bivy. That night he realised how much opportunity there was for thoughtful design as part of the equation of enjoying adventure. And, coming down off the mountain the next day, he resolved to tackle that challenge. Three days after graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, he founded NEMO Equipment.
