NEMO Adds Comfort-Driven Updates Across Pack and Sleep Systems, Expands Endless Promise Fully Recyclable Collection

Sunday, March 29th, 2026

New recyclable sleeping bags and liners, warmer pads, and expanded sizing, along with refined travel and technical packs for better time outdoors.

{Dover, NH—March X, 2026} — NEMO Equipment’s 2026 collection advances the brand’s commitment to better sleep, lighter loads, and gear designed to stay out of the landfill. The spring lineup brings three additions to NEMO’s Endless Promise® fully recyclable collection: the

Tempo™ Spoon® shape sleeping bag and both Tracer™ sleeping bag liners, alongside expanded sizing for the Tensor™ Elite sleeping pad and top-selling Disco™ and Forte™

Spoon® shape sleeping bags. Refined updates to the Vantage™ and Resolve™ pack collections, plus Flyer™ and Roamer™ sleeping pads, round out a lineup built on meaningful innovation and lasting performance. 

SLEEP SYSTEM UPDATES – Because Sleeping Outside Should Feel Good 

Tempo™ Endless Promise®  Sleeping Bag 

The Tempo synthetic sleeping bag joins the Endless Promise lineup with everything you want in a three-season bag. Updated to NEMO’s Classic Spoon shape, it provides ample room for side sleepers, while an insulated Blanket Fold™ collar mimics the comfort of home. High-loft recycled insulation delivers reliable warmth that packs down small, and thoughtful details elevate the experience, like a built-in pillow pocket lined with ultra-soft Fillo™ fabric. Tempo is the full package: comfort, packability, and sustainability. Available in 20F/35F. $149.95-199.95 

New Wide Sizing for Disco™ and Forte™ Spoon™ Shape Sleeping Bags 

Two of the industry’s top-selling sleeping bags, the RDS-certified down Disco™ and recycled synthetic Forte™, are now available in Wide sizes. Pair with a wide sleeping pad, spread out, and get your best night’s sleep outdoors. $169.95 – 359.95 

Tracer™ and Tracer™ Blaze Endless Promise® Sleeping Bag Liners  

Made from 100% recycled fabrics and treated with a FUZE antimicrobial finish for odor resistance while maintaining full recyclability. Add warmth to a summer quilt, keep your bag cleaner on a long thru-hike, or instantly extend your sleep system into shoulder season. Lightweight, packable warmth that lasts forever. $69.95 – 89.95 

Tensor™ Elite 

After Tensor™ Elite’s successful 2025 launch, the message from thru-hikers was clear: make it wider. The new Regular Wide Mummy joins existing Short and Regular Mummy sizes, delivering the same category-leading warmth-to-weight ratio with more room to move. For fast-and-light trips where every ounce counts, but comfort can’t be compromised. $259.95 

Flyer™ Self-inflating Sleeping Pad 

The bluesign® product Flyer™ hybrid pad gets warmer for 2026 with an R-value of 4.2 (up from 3.3) and features 2 inches of plush cushioning plus an included Vortex™ hybrid stuff sack that doubles as a pump for faster inflation. Dual-axis foam coring removes nearly 60% of the foam without sacrificing stability or comfort. $139.95 – 159.95 

Roamer™ Self-inflating Mattress  

With 4 inches of plush cushioning and an R-value of 7 (up from 6), Roamer™ rivals your bed at home. The updated Laylow™ valve speeds inflation and deflation, and the included Vortex™ stuff sack efficiently doubles as a pump. Expanded sizing: Single (76 x 25 in), Single Wide (80 x 30 in), Double (78 x 40 in), and Double Wide (78 x 52 in), ensures everyone sleeps well, whether solo or sharing. $259.95 – 449.95 

PACK SYSTEM UPDATES – Packs Get Smarter, More Intuitive, and Even More Durable 

The fully recyclable Vantage™ travel backpack and Resolve™ technical backpack  return with refined updates that enhance performance and usability. Both collections feature NEMO’s exclusive CERO™ recycled fabric, up to 2× the tear strength and 1.5× the water resistance of standard pack fabrics, and CCubed™ foam-free cushioning that’s up to 5× more breathable and 10× better at wicking moisture. The result: a drier back, a longer-lasting pack, and full recyclability at end of life. 

Vantage receives targeted improvements including a redesigned back panel for better moisture management, magnetic closures for effortless access, and new collapsible water bottle pockets that expand when needed and disappear when not. Color-accented zippers make it easy to identify the laptop compartment at a glance, while adjustable load lifter straps dial in a personalized fit. $179.95 – $249.95 

Resolve sheds weight through a more streamlined design while gaining durability with upgraded fabrics. New side water bottle pockets improve on-the-move access, and the refined suspension system moves naturally with your body on swift treks and fast approaches. $159.95 – $219.95 

These updates join NEMO’s full 2026 lineup, including warmer, lighter sleeping pads; a packable reclining chair; and major refinements to the top-selling Dragonfly OSMO™ tent series. Explore the complete collection at nemoequipment.com/collections/new-for-2026
