The idea of NEMO was born from a restless night on the slopes of Mount Washington while Cam Brensinger spent five white hours in a poorly designed bivouac. That night, he realized how many opportunities there were for thoughtful design in his experience. Descending the mountain the next day, he decided to take on this challenge. Three days after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, he founded NEMO Equipment.
NEMO focuses primarily on sustainability and has made tremendous progress by adding more 100% PCR and bluesign certified materials to its products.
Every day the team works hard to create the most creative and thoughtful outdoor equipment in the world.
Adventure gives us purpose and perspective. It makes us humble and proud. And so NEMO has the conviction that meaningful adventures are possible for everyone, anywhere. Possible, that is, if you bring the will, imagination, and the right equipment

The range offered covers essential camping and trekking gear: three-season tents, self-inflating mattresses, and bags suited for various temperatures. Lightweight models prioritize technical materials, optimized shapes, and smart attachments.
Eco-friendly equipment uses recycled materials, PFC-free treatments, and energy-efficient manufacturing processes. They last longer and are easily repairable, reducing overall impact.
To find the best camping equipment at the best price, watch for end-of-season sales and consider complete packs if equipping multiple people.
Choose a tent based on duration and weather: outdoor bivouac tents are designed to be durable and compact. If you are going for several days without carrying, prioritize comfort; for long hikes, focus on weight savings. Test in-store or read reviews to check ease of setup.
