Quasar 3D Insulated Double

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 and your partner aren’t 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 Double Pad. 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 cradle both of 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.
