Tired of tossing and turning in your tent at night? Try NEMO’s Astro for size. It’s a plush, cushioned pad designed to boost comfort levels, yet is still light enough to take camping or backpacking. Boasting an impressive inflated thickness of 3.5 inches, plus durable soft-touch, sustainably made fabrics and a lateral baffle construction, it provides bed-like comfort on any type of terrain. Lateral baffles are more comfortable than vertical baffles and prevent the sides of the pad from curling around your body. The large Pillow Baffle at the head end of the pad ensures that your pillow doesn’t slide off in the middle of the night and gives a couple extra inches of height to bolster your camp pillow. A unique Laylow zero-profile, multi-functional, micro-adjustable valve offers convenient inflation and deflation, and is easy to tweak for truly personalised comfort. It’s designed to work perfectly with the newly included Vortex pump sack too

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.
