NEMO Equipment

About NEMO

NEMO believes that everyone deserves a great outdoor experience—all it takes is the right gear. Short for New England Mountain Outfitters, the company was founded after its creator endured a sleepless, uncomfortable night on a mountain. Determined to find a better way, he teamed up with designers and engineers to create a tent that could handle unpredictable weather with ease. That first idea sparked a brand dedicated to making high-quality, reliable outdoor gear that helps people explore with confidence.

Designed for outdoor adventures

From ultralight backpacking to relaxed car camping, NEMO gear is built to perform in the wild. Their innovative tents use smart pole designs to maximize headroom without adding extra weight—so you get a more livable space without the burden of bulk. Their sleeping bags are made with side sleepers in mind, offering a bit of extra room to stretch out and get comfortable. And their sleeping pads provide plush support while packing down small, so you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to save space. Whether you're deep in the backcountry or setting up camp by the lake, NEMO’s thoughtfully designed gear makes every night outside feel better.

Giving back to the outdoors

NEMO doesn’t just make gear to help people enjoy nature—they also work to protect it. The company is Climate Neutral Certified, meaning they measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions. They use recycled and Bluesign®-approved materials whenever possible, ensuring their products meet high environmental and social standards. Their office runs on 100% renewable energy, and they’ve set an ambitious goal to cut their emissions in half by 2030. Beyond their own sustainability efforts, NEMO partners with organizations dedicated to protecting the places we play. They support Leave No Trace, an initiative that teaches responsible outdoor ethics, and they’re a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of sales to environmental causes.

NEMO’s approach to outdoor gear is simple: make it lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Their designs balance function with innovation, ensuring that every product they create helps make outdoor adventures more enjoyable. Whether you're trekking through the mountains, setting up camp with friends, or just looking for a good night’s sleep under the stars, NEMO gear is built to go the distance.
