With mud caked on your legs, and fresh air in your lungs, you realize that sometimes that’s all you really need to feel alive.
Pack light. Bring only what you need. Love every step.
When what you want is almost nothing at all, our minimalist gear works harder to shave ounces and provide long-term durability. Here are few of our favorites.
Dagger™ offers you the best of both worlds; a tent light enough for ultralight backpacking, yet roomy enough to wait out a rainstorm without feeling claustrophobic.
Hornet™ offers the ultimate in livability and comfort, weighing just under two pounds, with two doors and two vestibules for gear storage.
Ultralight Men’s Kyan™ and Women’s Azura™ define the high-end premium synthetic sleeping bag, offering ultra-compressibility without sacrificing warmth.
With a unique Spoon™ shape adding room at the elbows and the knees, Men’s Disco™ and Women’s Rave™ are designed for side-sleepers who want to be comfortable without sacrificing packability. Zip them together for a double bag.
The Switchback™ delivers a warmer, more comfortable sleep than other classic closed-cell foam sleeping pads in an industry-leading packed size. Hexagonal nodes are molded with a dual-density Axiotomic™ foam to create Hypnoelastic™ zones that conform to your body in a perfect balance of comfort and support.
The Tensor™ insulated ultralight sleeping pad is the minimalist’s best friend and the lightest pad in the NEMO line-up. It offers 3” of back-saving, cushioned sleep with a paltry weight and pack size. Spaceframe™ Baffles mean you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or stability in the backcountry.
Back for its sixth season, the @thruhikesyndicate supports a group of thru hikers each year as they venture out on some of America’s most iconic long trails. Attempting almost 18,000 miles over 8 different trail systems, we’re proud to support this year’s ambassadors alongside Vasque Footwear, Darn Tough Vermont, Osprey, and Leki.
