The Switchback™ redefines the classic closed-cell foam sleeping pad, offering increased thickness and plush comfort while maintaining an industry-leading packed size. Designed with hexagonal nodes and dual-density Axiotomic™ foam, it creates Hypnoelastic™ zones that conform to the body for an optimal balance of comfort and support.  

To enhance warmth, Switchback™ incorporates a metallised thermal film layer that efficiently reflects heat back to the user. Combined with 15% more heat-trapping space, this innovative design provides a warmer and more comfortable sleep compared to other pads in its category.

Features of the Nemo Switchback Ultralight Sleeping Pad

• Highly-efficient, hexagonal nesting pattern allocates more space for taller, wider nodes, providing significantly greater plushness.
  
• More precise tooling eliminates wasted space between folded layers, enabling taller nodes to nest tighter for a smaller packed size.
  
• Taller nodes create more space for uncompressed sleeping bag insulation, trapping more warmth around your body.
  
• Premium dual-density Axiotomic foam offers a supple layer for comfort and a resilient layer for support.
  
• Metallised thermal reflective film reflects heat back to your body and is protected by a durable film.
  
• Axiotomic dual-density foam is optimised for well-balanced compression and abrasion resistance.
  
• Extremely easy to use and delivers comfort and security for all types of adventure, from mountaineering and thru-hiking to camping on a budget.
  
• Folding panel design allows for lightning-fast, easy setup and packing.
  
• Use as a standalone pad for ultralight durability and comfort or pair with another pad for extra insulation and comfort in extreme cold conditions.
