We’ve updated the Sleeping Pad Reviews over at Outdoor GearLab (along with UL Tents! And UL Sleeping Bags!). Sam Schild recently did a fairly substantial update, so most of what you read here is his. I added three new award winners for Most Comfortable, Best Ultralight, and a Budget Buy.
This past summer, I’ve been using the Nemo Tensor All-Season Ultralight Insulated, a product I bought to do my UL Tent and UL Sleeping Bag reviews actually! Sam crowned this a Editor’s Choice, which I would agree with. The second half of the summer, I mostly fastpacked without a inflatable pad, opting to go with a heavily cut down Nemo Switchback, and then a Gossamer Gear Torso Foam Pad – a severely ultralight option that’s just not going to work for everyone.
