I’m a big fan of the exped pads, I’m sold on the lengthwise baffles for comfort.

I tried a few different pads this summer scouting the New Mexico wilderness for elk. I ended up using the Nemo Tensor insulated pad. I got the long wide one because I don’t like my arms off the pad. It’s rectangle. It’s warm, comfortable and doesn’t crinkle. It has that bag thing to easily inflate it too. I love it. My hunting buddy uses it too. Also loves it.

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad​

I have and love the pad you linked to. For the weight, warmth and comfort (I'm a side sleeper) I don't think you can find a better pad.

Switched from the Thermarest NeoAir XLite to the Nemo Tensor Insulated this year - best sleep system decision I’ve ever made.

I bought the long wide version. The pad is far more comfortable and is the best nights sleep I’ve had in the outdoors. Best part is there’s no annoying chip bag crinkle every time I flinch. In terms of insulation I’d say they’re about equal, plenty comfortable down to -5 Celsius (haven’t had it out below that for the Tensor yet).

Will probably pick up a Tensor Alpine next year for more demanding conditions.

they make it sound great, the only hole i see is the R rating. i would need to carry an extra pad to put on it for warmth. but you must "know thyself" and what you need.
