The world’s best riff?
What’s the world’s best riff? Back in Black by AC/DC? Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode? Led Zep’s Whole Lotta Love? Satisfaction by the Stones? Well, they’re all great to rock out to, but nothing that Angus, Chuck, Jimmy or Keef can play will keep you as warm as this performance 3-season 800 fill power down bag from NEMO. Constructed in recycled fabrics, the Riff 15 offers a similar comfortable spoon shape to NEMO’s other bags, but in a more athletic cut – designed for side sleepers who prefer space-saving packability and lower weight. And despite its minimal bulk, this bag is loaded with features, including Thermo Gills that help regulate temperature during the night, a newly improved Blanket Fold draught collar that provides tucked-in comfort, and a waterproof/breathable hood and footbox to withstand tent condensation. The down insulation is ethically sourced, and has also been treated with a water-repellent coating to improve performance on damp camps. Rock on.

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.
