Looking to add warmth to my Nemo Tensor Elite MW pad.

The Elite hovers at 45-40F comfort limit. You could push it to 30F but it won’t be a blissful night.

So.

There are Aliexpress, GG, Yamatomichi, and Oware pads out there that range from 0.5 to 4 R-values. Adding a superlight torso-length foam mat would dramatically increase the pad’s range and may just push it into 20F or lower. The key is a blissful night. Hoping to pair with an EE Enigma 30 or ideally, an HMG 40 bag.

Any ideas? Links to other awesome pads in this range?

Supposedly, this stuff is R3.o, at least when used vertically against a metal building wall, and not compressed by your bodyweight.

Nice thing is, it’s cheap, and you’ll have plenty of material to play with size, shape etc… Very lightweight, if bulky however… That said, a torso-length cut to 20″ wide should roll up nicely inside your pack, and double as a decent sit-pad if you please.

I’ve used these full-length under my pads, and have had good luck with them.
