The Nemo Tensor Elite is a true ultralight sleeping mat designed specifically for backpackers chasing minimal weight and maximum efficiency. Built to strip every unnecessary gram, it delivers full-length comfort in an incredibly compact package, making it one of the lightest, if not the lightest, mat available for long-distance trekking and fastpacking.

Weighing as little as 240g, the Tensor Elite sits at the cutting edge of ultralight gear, offering a full-length sleeping mat that packs down smaller than a bottle. Perfect for thru-hikers and long-distance backpackers, fastpackers and minimalist setups, and anyone looking to significantly reduce pack weight. If you're counting grams, this is a serious weight-saving upgrade for your sleep system.

Despite its ultralight build, the Tensor Elite still delivers impressive comfort on the trail with 3” (7.6 cm) thickness cushions uneven ground, and Apex™ baffle construction provides stability and even support, and quiet materials reduce crinkling for better sleep. It’s designed to give backpackers reliable rest without the bulk of traditional mats.

With an R-value of 2.4, the Tensor Elite is best suited to spring, summer, and early autumn trips. Its integrated Thermal Mirror™ insulation reflects body heat back towards you, delivering efficient warmth without adding weight.

It goes without saying that you do need to be mindful of where you place the mat. Being so lightweight, punctures are more of a risk on rough ground, so we would recommend carrying a repair kit (included) at the very least.
