Backcountry x NEMO Verata Sleeping Pad

A sleeping pad is one of the most important pieces of camping equipment, after long days on the trails you’ll want to get a restful nights sleep in order to have another big day in the morning. Our tester tracked their sleep using a whoop fitness tracker where they earned great points for recovery which we don’t always find while sleeping in a tent. The extra-wide Verata ensures you don’t feel like you are falling off the sides in the middle of the night, despite the wide size two of these pads easily fit inside the Nachi tent. With an R-Value of 3.5, the pad insulates your from the cold ground, but it’s not quite enough for winter camping. At 3 inches tall when inflated this pad gives you plenty of cushion and keeps your hips and shoulders from hitting the ground while side sleeping. Bonus points are given for the buoyancy in water that makes this a perfect alpine lake floaty for those hot summer days when a cool off is necessary.
