The NEMO Switchback™ reinvents the classic closed-cell foam pad with advanced design and modern materials for a lighter, warmer, and more compact sleep system. Featuring dual-density Axiotomic™ foam and a hexagonal nesting pattern, Switchback delivers unmatched plushness and support while packing down smaller than traditional foam pads. Hypnoelastic™ zones conform to your body for comfort, and a metallized thermal layer reflects radiant heat for increased warmth on chilly nights.
Engineered for ultralight use and extreme durability, it sets up instantly, resists moisture, and stands up to rugged terrain. Whether used solo or as a layering pad in winter, Switchback is the go-anywhere foundation for a dependable night’s sleep.
