Shape-shifting, 2-in-1 camping tent and sun shelter
When summer arrives, naturally you want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. And the season’s adventures might include everything from a short backpacking trip to a fun camping weekend with friends, not to mention great days at the beach and several lazy afternoons in the park. But that inevitably means digging out an old backpacking tent to sleep in as well as something like a tarp, gazebo or sun shelter to provide welcome respite from the heat of the day. Of course, there is another way. NEMO’s shape-shifting Switch is a versatile, easily configurable, freestanding tent that can do double duty for all your outdoor adventures. Free of flame-resistant chemicals, this thoughtfully designed shelter sets up as easily as a two-person tent with expansive headspace and near vertical walls. Alternatively, remove the fly sheet and camp out in the airy inner, built from high-quality UPF 50+ fabrics for superb protection from bugs and sun. Or just grab the top-grade DAC pole set and flysheet to fashion the perfect sunshade for beach, park or garden.
- Premium tent fabric is rated UPF 50+ for durable protection from bugs, biting insects and harmful solar rays. It’s also guaranteed free from potentially harmful fire retardant chemicals
- Freestanding design offers three setup options: tent, screenhouse or sun shelter (tarp poles not included)
- The two-door, twin porch design offers easy of entry/exit and plenty of storage space for your gear
- Inner features a Nighlight Pocket with special diffuser fabric – just pop your headtorch inside it to create a glowing tent lantern
- Gatekeeper door tie backs create fuss-free access
- Includes NEMO x DAC 100% Repreve recycled fabric pole bag

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.
