I took the Nemo Eclipse All Season sleeping pad out for a test to see if it's truly worth the investment for wild camping. I walk you through the setup, specs, and how it compares in weight and comfort to other popular pads like the Tensor Extreme and Therm-a-Rest XLite. It is honestly so incredibly comfortable that my biggest problem was accidentally oversleeping on the trail.
