Switchback Foam Sleeping Pad

The Switchback: Redefining the Sleeping Pad Experience

NEMO has reimagined the classic closed-cell foam sleeping pad, delivering unparalleled thickness, plushness, and packability. Engineered with innovation at its core, the Switchback promises a warmer, more comfortable sleep, no matter the adventure.

At the heart of the Switchback lies the Axiotomic dual-density foam, a proprietary technology optimized for exceptional compression and abrasion resistance. This supple layer provides the perfect balance of comfort and support, conforming to the contours of the body.

Leveraging a metalized thermal film, the Switchback reflects heat back to the camper's body, ensuring warmth in temperatures as low as 20-35°F. The hexagonal nesting pattern is designed with efficiency in mind, allocating more space for taller, wider nodes. This increased node height allows for uncompressed sleeping bag insulation to expand, further enhancing the pad's thermal efficiency.

The Switchback's compact design is a marvel of engineering. Precise tooling eliminates wasted space between folded layers, enabling the taller nodes to nest tighter for a remarkably small packed size. The Regular model packs down to a mere 20 x 5 x 5.5 inches and weighs only 14.5 ounces, while the Short model measures 20 x 5 x 4 inches and weighs just 10.5 ounces.

NEMO's commitment to adventure and environmental responsibility is woven into the Switchback's design. From minimizing waste across the supply chain to formulating eco-conscious waterproofing compounds, the brand leads the industry in finding new ways to reduce its environmental impact, honoring the lands and ecosystems it celebrates.

The Switchback is the pinnacle of NEMO's sleeping pad innovation, redefining the classic closed-cell foam design. Whether you're mountaineering, thru-hiking, or car camping, this high-tech pad delivers uncompromising comfort and warmth, helping you catch restful Zs night after night.

Discover the Switchback's unparalleled blend of plushness and packability, and experience the new standard in backcountry comfort. NEMO's relentless pursuit of adventure and design excellence is evident in every detail of this remarkable sleeping pad.
