NEMO Switchback sleeping pad

NEMO Switchback sleeping pad - is ultralight closed-cell foam sleeping pad for backpacking. Is also a great option for ultralight backpackers on a budget. Switchback redefines the closed-cell foam pad with several design and engineering innovations to deliver even more thickness and plush comfort and an industry-leading packed size.

It’s quite similar to the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol sleeping pad, but made with improved materials and more precisely molded to eliminate wasted space between folded layers for a smaller packed size.

Switchback is made of nearly indestructible closed-cell foam with a metallized thermal film layer to efficiently reflect heat back to your body. Blend that with 15% more heat-trapping space, this new innovative design is able to deliver a warmer, more comfortable sleep than other pads in this category.

The Switchback sleeping pad is very versatile. It can be used as a standalone sleeping pad, a sit pad, a frame for a frameless backpack, or an extra layer of insulation under air pads on sub-freezing nights. There is no possibility of a puncture or deflate overnight.

The Switchback is easy to use, it takes seconds to unfold and pack up, so you’ll have more time on the trail.

Is very versatile and easy to use delivering lightning fast setup and fail-proof security on all types of adventures like thru-hiking where weight and durability matter most or even for extreme mountaineering as an extra layer of insulation under inflatable pads to protect you from extreme cold.
