Some outdoor gear innovations make you wonder why nobody thought of it sooner. NEMO's Flyer Cloud is one of those – a hybrid sleeping mat that nicks the best bits from both air pads (weightless cushioning) and self-inflating foam mats (plush durability) whilst conveniently forgetting their respective downsides. The clever bit involves removing nearly 60% of the foam through horizontal coring, which sounds counterintuitive until you realise it actually increases thickness whilst maintaining a higher R-value of 5.2. The pad self-inflates to 8cm of cushioning with ridged baffling that recovers faster than you do after a long day on the mountain. There's an air baffle running around the perimeter, allowing extra foam where it matters most – basically under your body rather than the bits hanging off into thin air. The Vortex stuff sack pulls double duty as a pump sack and dry bag, because why carry three things when one'll do? At around a kilogram depending on size, it's not ultralight territory, but when you're getting 8cm of actual comfort rather than pretending that wafer-thin inflatable is "fine really," the weight penalty's worth every gram.
| Minimum Weight | Packed Size | Size | Thickness | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flyer™ Cloud Regular Wide | 1.1 kg | 30 x 20 cm dia | 183 x 64 x 8 cm | 8 cm |
| Flyer™ Cloud Long Wide | 1.22 kg | 30 x 22 cm dia | 193 x 64 x 8 cm | 8 cm |
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.
