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 realized 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. the name – new england mountain equipment – is a tribute to our new england roots and home and a nod to jules verne’s captain nemo .

although the team at nemo are working on this. more on that, after the fold: nemo equipment too have a two person three person tent, the oz, on the way for next year. it will sport similar recycled fabrics to the big agnes model, but nemo are going one step further and trialling bamboo tent poles. the prototypes were developed with assistance from a fly fishing rod maker who uses bamboo. if testing shows them to be suitable they might just turn up in 2010 tent models .

nemo tests gear in some pretty dramatic ways. in its early days, the brand gained attention from the local news by strapping an airbeam - supported tent to the top of a truck to test wind resistance. since then, testing became more sophisticated. the brand has a tensile tester, rain chamber, and heat chamber among other testing equipment in its office .
nemo is a company that rushes a product to market with abysmal quality control. if anyone at nemo would have actually used the chair they sell for one day they would have noticed these issues before releasing them to market. i find it unbelievab
my nemo rave is the best bag! my very favorite part is the build in snuggly blanket that has the perfect material .
nemo debuted its first generation of airsupported technology® and extreme conditions poled tents at the summer market outdoor retailer show in salt lake city, utah in august of 2004, the biggest trade show for the outdoor industry in the us. the tents instantly captured the attention of the industry and the media. nemo was published in the “best of show” section of the or daily publication, team nike / balance bar asked nemo to co - develop a tent for adventure racing and officials from the ispo brandnew award committee invited nemo to submit for the winter of 2005. nemo finished designs of the first line of tents and begin a trial production .

i' ve been saving up for the nemo nocturne 15 for a while now, and i was hoping to be able to pull the trigger pretty soon. i hate mummy bags and this thing is a perfect fit for me. however, i' m a little concerned about the quality of nemo' s gear. i' ve only owned one of their products and while the design was pretty good, it didn' t hold up for very long. any of you have any of their equipment and can speak to it' s quality ?
i know this is old but wanted to show my support for nemo. this place is plagued with ba, thermarest, and msr .
in the summer, nemo was approached by an elite group of navy seals who were impressed by how lightweight, fast and small packing gogo™ was, especially considering its disproportionately spacious interior. after successful testing by naval special warfare of nemo’s tents in the remote wilderness of alaska, nemo developed the tanto and gogo se™ (similar to gogo ex™ and gogo le). that was the beginning of nemo shield™. with some of the company’s friends and family deployed overseas, the company was and always will be proud to do their part to keep service members safe and well equipped .

y if you do a little pre - setup before setting out) but the real reason i have continued using my nemo is because of the customer service. my experience
nemo uses downtek hydrophobic down in its down - filled sleeping bags. this means the down is harder to saturate, making it a better choice for wet and humid adventures .
thank you for being a great company and for having a great customer service team. i have owned several shelters but have used my nemo obi 2p for almost all of my backpackin
sometimes the best part of an adventure is the strangers you meet along the way. nemo' s brent merriam tells about the unexpected hospitality on his bikepacking trek through the italian alps .
windstorm on the top of a fairly exposed ridge and my tent didnt budge an inch or tear one bit. i also am a very cold sleeper with reynauds syndrome and i was in shorts and a tank top and toasty warm at 7k ft with permanent snow 100yrds away in your 30f spoon bag. these two pieces of equipment have saved many trips from becoming miserable becuase of their amazing performanc
everything i have seen from nemo, i love. i have 2 cosmo insulated sleeping pads, and they are fantastic. comfy, warm, easy to set up and deflate, pack down small, and now come in an ultralight version, since their weight is the only downside (compared to ul pads). their tents are bomber and well - designed. their sleeping bags are really cool, but i have sea to summit for my bags, so i havent used any nemo ones personally. i also haven' t used the nemo slipcover or memory foam topper. i bought 2 thermarest fitted sheets, size large, and they (just barely) fit on my nemo pads, so i use that when i sleep directly against them and not in a bag
this comment is about gsl' s customer service during a return of the nemo equipment meta 2 - person ultralight trekking tent. the tent itself was a quick set up with plenty of room inside for me and my partner. loved the two ways of access, but it didn' t quite work out for me. it' s minor, but i like backpacking a tent strapped to the outside, not carrying it in the inside compartment. gsl was courteous, quick, and flexible. despite the fact that i did not have the original tags to return with the tent, they gave me a full refund. i will definitely consider purchasing their products again .
altogether, nemo is a small company with a big footprint. because of its passion - driven approach to design, and its support of the people and places that make adventure possible, it’s brand customers can stand behind .
nemo began limited sales in 2005 and will be rolling out nationwide retail sales for 2006. nemo airsupported™ tents are the first and only low - pressure pneumatic backpacking tents. the company promises further refinements to the 2006 product line. “our expertise is growing with every year of development, ” said company president, cam brensinger. “next year’s tents will be lighter, pack smaller, feature higher performance fabrics and debut some slick new design features. ”
in the true definition of an adventure, nemo' s brent and kate took four days to bikepack through italy. the trip was made so much more fulfilling and enjoyable by the unexpected l’ospitalità di sconosciuti: the hospitality of strangers .

other aspects of the nemo sleep system are brilliant. my advice would be to definitely check it out before you purchase - - or be sure where you purchase from has a good return policy, in case you get a dud .

i contacted nemo to purchase the required tape and they said to send
cam is named as one of the 40 under 40, recognizing the innovation and leadership he has brought to the outdoor industry. concerto™, wagontop™, escape™ pod and hornet™ continue to grab attention for their designs. spoon™ shaped bags continue to wildly exceed forecasts, but the nemo team works hard to keep up with demand .
the first airsupported™ prototypes were completed. early ideas explored the possibility of creating an entire tent shape from one compound curved airbeam and welding beams rather than sewing them. the very first successful airbeam cam completed took over 1500 straight pins to hold together during sewing. it was a bear to construct, but proved the viability of the concept. with working prototypes in hand, nemo started developing its inaugural tent line and hired its first employees. nemo began a history of doing specialized consulting work on the side to stimulate creativity and expand its expertise. one of the first projects was to engineer a new architecture for habitat modules for lunar and martian exploration .
nemo designs a kit specifically targeted to bikepacking, introducing the moonwalk™, escape pod™ bivy, and apollo™. escape pod™ wins the international outdoor award. tensor™ and vector™ are introduced with game - changing spaceframe™ baffles, which provide insulation and stability. we also introduce the nomad™, which proves that sleeping outside can be as comfortable as your bed at home .
cam set up operations in a restored textile mill in new hampshire with some fellow designers and engineers, where he worked for months patterning and building prototypes of his first patent - pending airbeam - supported tents. two years later, he launched the brand and it quickly began winning awards for design and innovation. nemo was the overall winner of the ispo brand new award in 2005 and named by time and popular science as among the 100 best inventions of the year. thus began a train of awards and pr that has only accelerated since then .
i have the nemo tango duo sleep system + pads. my lone gripe is a big one. the slipcover, which is what lashes the two pads together, is a total pain in the ass to use and the quailty is shit. parts of the slipcover' s openings for valves and what not, are not even hemmed. so they slowly fray out after each use. i paid over $ 400 dollars for this sleep system. and i think any company asking those prices, really has to nail the finishes on thier products (at the very least) .
the sako' s air - filled beams are made of a sail - like cloth, which restrains an inner bladder, increasing air pressure and, thus, rigidity (the tough shell offers protects against sharp objects). the waterproof, three - man tent inflates in 45 seconds with a soft, four - ounce foot pump. $ 500

we’ve had packs, sleeping bags, footwear, apparel, etc, made with recycled content, (see below) but no - one has yet stepped up to the plate and served us with a tent made from recycled material. until now, that is. backpacker magazine correspondent, kelly bastone, trawling the aisles of the outdoor retailer show reports for that mag’s blog that two such beasties are in development .
big agnes, who we previously noted were doing interesting things with recycled content sleeping bags, have a a two and three person tent coming in 2009. the salt creek is said to use recycled polyester floor, inner, mesh and flysheet. according to the reports even the zippers have recycled content zip tape. but not yet so for the tent poles ands clips .
great to see these smaller players showing the big boys of the industry how to do it. we trust that the in - the - field performance is equal to that non - recycled materials and the trend takes off .
( polyester was once considered a better flysheet material than nylon, because it had superior resistance to ultra violet light and it also remained more taut under rainy conditions - - nylon tends to sag, as it absorbs more water. but external silicone proofing of nylon changed that advantage. )

bought 2 chairs from them that began falling apart after the first weekend. i contacted them and they said they would send me some return labels and boxes. two weeks have passed and they have not sent
le that they did not know about this. seems to me that they knew of the issues but decided to just get some money in their pocket, pay for this first production
run. they are basically having the customer finance the recall of the product and eat the headache .
after using the pillow for only 1 week, it started to deflate and not hold air. i was out of the country on a backpackin
y return the pillow. when i returned home i contacted the company about getting a replacemen
t sent out or a refund. i was told that it would be several weeks before anyone at the company even reviewed or repaired the item. i told them i didn' t have that long to wait and asked them if they could send out a replacemen
t until looking at the defective item. i then asked them for a refund due to the item being defective and they told me they couldn' t do that because it had been used. i had initially heard good things about this companies products and their customer service, but this was not my experience
at all. i just wasted $ 50 on a defective travel pillow that i used for a week. i won' t be buying anything from this company ever again .

so good that my ex (who wasn' t even all that into camping) wound up stealing my morpho 2 tent because
this is the best tent ever !
(... maybe the one thing we agreed on lol). highly recommend their tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and honestly anything they make. good company and good people .
r and just pile my bag right in. why didn' t i think of that? ! this is saving me a ton of wasted space in my pack and i' m now confident i' ll be able to fly with all my essentials
on top of that, my hornet 2p came in the mail a couple weeks ago and it is what my dreams are made of. it was stupidly easy to set up. i forgot about it in my backyard for 4 days, during santa ana winds (60 mph +) and that baby didn' t budge. it is super tiny, very lightweigh
really well, keeps me nice and toasty warm, and i have so much room. i work in environmen

this tent is awesome. it is lightweight, easy to put up and take down in very little time. i used it several times this summer and it easily fit me and my 75 pound dog comfortably (granted i am only 5' 5
). it rained hard one of the nights i used it and i stayed completely dry. i highly recommend this tent to anyone .
awesome tent. easy set up, great quality, strong zippers. best tent i' ve ever had. room enough for 2 and light gear .
easy set - up, fairly compact and lightweight without breaking the bank. i' ve only done one short trip with it so far and it performed as expected though i was a little disappointed in how thin the footprint is. already have 2 small holes. i guess that' s the compromise for such a lightweight 2p, just need to be more careful about moving about once inside. its spacious and has good headroom, not like some 2p tents that are more like 1. 5p or 1 plus dog, and the take - down time is as quick as setup .

in the end, airsupported technology™ represented an entirely new realm of possibility for mobile backcountry shelters. the combination of unparalleled ease - of - use, reduced weight and outstanding packability allows a user to venture farther and faster and may even allow new methods of overnight travel. marketing and sales director, chris dickey, remarked, ”airsupported™ tents aren’t limited by poles when they’re packed. this allows the user to stuff the tent in smaller or more awkward places than poled tents. this opens up new possibilities for bicycle touring, paddle sports and other types of backcountry travel where the bulk and weight of overnight gear has made extended travel more difficult. ”

logitech io 2 pen logitech’s io 2 pen allows you to write in ink on paper while a tiny camera and memory chip stores up to 40 pages for conversion into microsoft word, outlook, and lotus notes. accompanying software “learns” your handwriting and converts it to digital text. the io 2 feels and writes like a slightly larger version of a standard pen and fits into a usb cradle for transferring text or graphics to a computer. a pair of led indicators tells how much battery power and memory remain. “it’s beautifully designed, elegant, and innovative, ” ruggiero said, though the jurors found the cradle a bit too lightweight. ruggiero’s wish for the next generation: a pen with a port on the end that plugs directly into a computer .
origarment shoe is it a prototype or product? no matter. this shoe has ingenuity—it comes flat and packs easily. you zip the two - dimensional form together to bring it to life. the designer, marie o’connor, added braille lettering to the bottom both as a “hidden message” and as a grip for footing. “it’s really sweet. the functionality, borrowed from origami and translated into a shoe, is unique, ” boym said, adding that she wished the larger shoe companies would sit up and take notice. ruggiero praised the shoe’s elegance, but suspected that they would “kill your feet” and may let water through to the skin. weeks said he could live with the limitations: “i’ll just wear them around the house, ” he said .
fusion snowboard bindings burton’s new fusion bindings merge the structural authority of conventional strap bindings with the ease of step - in versions, which are generally seen as inferior. weeks appreciated that the binding’s complexity was handled with relative economy: an aluminum subframe and ankle straps that affix to the boots engage and disengage quickly from the base plate with the release of a lever—and the subframe’s bottom is designed for maximum traction to steady the wearer. die - hard strap - on fans can loosen the buckles the way they normally do. “the stitched leather detail is nice, ” boym said. “it has so many different visual languages—and all that metal. ”
skylon flight headphones these headphones feel so refined that they nearly qualify as jewelry. “now, this is the new cleanness, ” boym said. the headphones contain neodymium drivers housed in metal to allow higher high notes and deeper bass thumps. the sleek rubber clip helps them conform to any size ear and survive the jarring impact of sports. “they don’t feel throwaway, ” weeks noted. “and other places you’re spending, like, $ 80 on these things. ” the price of these headphones? just $ 50. ”

initech geologic bow decathlon’s new bow won boym’s heart at first sight. “it’s such an unusual typology, and i love that people are looking at this as a mainstream sport, ” she said. the main material, polyamide, allows molding of the grips as a single piece while furnishing wide openings. it also makes this version less expensive than metal bows. boym believed that the relatively low price of $ 79 pushes the design into the realm of greatness—she proposed it for the best of category award. and though ruggiero suggested that $ 79 constitutes a price point, not a design element, she argued that the design made the price possible. “i’m buying it, ” said boym, who has a thing for archery. and then she changed her mind: “i’m buying two. ”
swift strapless / interchange swim goggle the strap and nose bridge of competition goggles are two of the greatest sources of underwater drag for swimmers. with its swift strapless / interchange swim goggle, nike eliminates the strap and nose completely. swimmers move more rapidly because the goggles streamline the eye socket with lenses of polished polycarbonate, a material that slides through water faster than skin. the goggles stick to the head with a double - sided, medical - grade adhesive that resists the forces of the swimmer’s dive and holds fast during thrusts through the water. and they are shallower than previous versions to reduce the surface area perpendicular to the direction of the water flow. a secondary peripheral lens widens the viewing angle by 40 degrees and promises less optical distortion. “it’s a good marriage of technology and performance, ” ruggiero said .

magnifik magnetic silicone trivet imagine—a trivet with ears. better yet, a trivet that sticks to the fridge and also to the bottoms of metal cookware. the heat - resistant silicone magnifik trivet has five embedded neodyme magnets that fasten under skillets or saucepans, allowing cookware to be carried from kitchen to table. this innovation was inspired by energy - efficient induction - heated stovetops requiring magnetic metal pans to produce warmth. the ears on either side make the trivet easy to see and grab. “it’s full of goodness and simplicity, ” boym said. “that’s the hallmark i’m always looking for in products. ”

amsterdam bicycle women can call biomega’s amsterdam bicycle their very own. its form, wrought of oversize aluminum tubing with an adjustable seat and handlebars, is designed to keep the female body upright. the bike also minimizes maintenance: the shaft - driven train eliminates all of those oily sprockets (saving your trouser legs), and the disk brake and internal consecutive gears (seven speeds) and cables protect its mechanics from the elements. designer jens martin skibsted says that the shaft drive creates less transmission loss than a standard chain. “it’s pairing an old aesthetic with a new technology, ” boym said. “it’s a very good, basic bike that doesn’t pretend to be fancy or cool. ” a men’s version has been designed almost as an afterthought .
qualia 010 headphones bucking the trend of miniaturization in personal audio gear, sony’s qualia 010 headphones are larger and more luxurious than most of the popular choices for piping sound to your brain. the set is deceptively lightweight, with a strong magnesium - based frame for the sound shell, a mesh headband stretched across a carbon - fiber armature, and baby - soft sheepskin padding the ear. at first glance, the headphones seemed “a little overdone, ” ruggiero said. but a closer look revealed a superfine synthesis of materials, form, and craft. “see that jack? ” boym observed. “the detail here is superior to anything i’ve seen today. ” weeks admired the headphones’ handcrafted quality. “that’s very rare in the market, ” he said. and given the sculptural metal stand, you are not going to want to simply listen with these headphones—you’re going to want to look at them, too .

i have had it for about 6 or 7 years and absolutely love it. it fits me and whoever goes camping with me wonderfully .
the only problem that it has had was the webbing on the stuff sack ripped off on one side while i was tightening it. it isnt a major deal but it was annoying .
the pad is the most durable inflatable pad i have ever used or sampled. the pump is brilliant. pad pumps up and deflates faster and easier than any pad out there .
the galaxi tent is absolutely bomb - proof. has withstood multiple days in the rain and zero water or condensation inside, not even on the mesh. footprint included is a huge plus. it is heavy though, better for easy hiking or car camping .
the strato loft is a great bag. very warm. only issue i had (could have been 1 in a million) was i found a couple feathers bleeding through the shell. haven' t read about that issue anywhere else .
their fillo pillow is really nice. i have issues using any air pillow (get headaches) so it didn' t work out for me but it was the most comfortable of the air pillows i did try out.
