I need a new pad. Here are my needs/wants:
Good for three-season conditions (my current pad is not insulated. good for summer only). I am a side sleeper, 6' 0", 200 lb, age 62. As such I need pretty good padding. However I need to keep it light weight, if possible. I can't sleep on narrow pads so it must be a wide size, but I don't really need the long length.
I was considering the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite and the Nemo Insulated Tensor. They both come in a long/wide size. The Nemo is a little less expensive, but price is much less an issue than performance for me.
The Xlite is a few oz lighter and has a slightly higher R value. It also is made of more durable materials (30D vs 20D)
However the Nemo is thicker (3" vs 2.5") so I thought it might be more comfortable. But I worry about its durability.
I am looking for input, especially if someone can speak to the comfort and durability of both.
Thanks
