Come by and check out our brand new sleeping bags from NEMO! This Disco 30 is sitting pretty on display at our Blacksburg location showing off NEMO's attention to detail in creating sleeping bags that work for real people in real conditions.
Starting off with 100% RDS certified, 650-fill NikWax treated hydrophobic down, this sleeping bag offers all the warmth and weight-savings you'd expect from down, while also making sure moisture won't ruin your toasty night's sleep.
To provide even more security against moisture, NEMO has made their new sleeping bags with extra waterproof, breathable footboxes so you won't have to worry about tent condensation wetting the end of your bag and sapping away all the warmth from your feet.
NEMO is also leading the pack in creating sleeping bags that work better for the way humans actually sleep, creating a spoon-shaped bag perfect for side sleepers or anyone wishing they had more room for their feet in their mummy-style sleeping bags.
They've also implemented some smart solutions to address common issues that come up when using these bags in real, imperfect conditions. By adding Thermo Gills, the central baffles can be expanded via two zippers to allow excess heat to vent out when your sleeping bag starts to get too warm so that you can better regulate your temperature and stay comfortable in a wider range of temperatures.
Even with all of these new changes to the NEMO sleeping bags' design, they've kept some of the great design features they've come to be known for like the integrated pillow pocket to keep your head and neck happy when sleeping in the backcountry and an external blanket fold to make sleeping in a sleeping bag feel more like sleeping at home with your comforter that you can tuck or untuck depending on how warm you want to sleep.
At just over 2lbs for this 30-degree bag, this NEMO Disco 30 is a lightweight, comfortable, and reliable piece of gear to keep you sleeping soundly during your next backpacking trip (and beyond)!
