Plush, sustainably made sleeping mat
A good night’s sleep can make or break a wild camp or a weekend backpacking trip. And the key to great Z’s, in our experience – along with a decent set of ear plugs and a warm bag – is a comfortable sleeping mat. If you’re not prepared to compromise on comfort but still want a mat that is light and packable enough to take on almost any trip, you gotta try NEMO’s new Quasar 3D. Why 3D? Well, for starters, because a 2D mat would be pretty darn flat, but also because it features body-mapped 3D baffling that gently cradles you all night long. No more rolling onto the cold, hard ground at 3am. A slightly elevated head baffle serves as a headboard, helping to keep your camp pillow (or bundle of spare clothes) in place. It’s also made from bluesign-approved materials; namely, durable 30D 100% post-consumer recycled polyester ripstop. NEMO’s custom Laylow zero-profile, multifunctional valve is also a joy to use, especially when combined with the included Vortex pump sack for rapid inflation and deflation as well as easy micro adjustments for customised comfort.

The idea of NEMO was born one turbulent night on the side of Mount Washington while Cam Brensinger spent a sleepless five hours in a poorly designed bivy. That night he realised how much opportunity there was for thoughtful design as part of the equation of enjoying adventure. And, coming down off the mountain the next day, he resolved to tackle that challenge. Three days after graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, he founded NEMO Equipment.
