## Description

With Switchback, NEMO has redefined the classic closed-cell foam sleeping pad to deliver more thickness and plush comfort in an industry-leading packed size. This pad features hexagonal nodes molded with our dual-density Axiotomic foam to create Hypnoelastic zones that conform to your body in a perfect balance of comfort and support.Switchback also leverages a metallized thermal film layer to efficiently reflect heat back to your body. Blend that with 15% more heat-trapping space, and this innovative new design is able to deliver a warmer, more comfortable sleep than other pads in this category.

Review: If Xander Budnick on YouTube, doesn't break it! - Looking forward to using it in the UK, but I think that it will out last me, as I watch Xander on YouTube really putting this pad through a rough time, on rocks and wet and dry canoe trips in Canada.
Review: Seems to compress with time - Being a side sleeper I found it on its own not comfortable enough so too an inflatable pad to go on top and the Nemo providing the insulation. Like others, I have cut off 4 segments to cover shoulders to knee only. The benefit is that I can show the differences between the one I took on a hike (10 nights in total) and the segments left at home. The sideways photo shows the comparison which suggests that the used one (right) now packs denser, which may or may not reflect compression and/or a better fit. The main issue I find is that due to the size this will in most cases go on the outside of a pack, which a) gets it wet and with all the bumps and hollows it is very difficult to dry and b) make it pretty prone to damage (see comparison view from the top with the used one in the bottom). The only place for me to attach is to the bottom of the back, so when you go on narrow paths with vegetation either side or through a narrow rock passage, you inevitably scratch the mat. I have no experience with other similar mats (e.g. decathlon), but at about 1/3 of the price of the Nemo, they would be less financially painful to replace.

## Features

- 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.
- Metallized thermal reflective film reflects heat back to your body and is protected by a durable film.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 8 November 2023*

The Nemo Switchback is significantly more comfortable than Thermarest or Exped. I can lie comfortably on my side (70 kg ,175 cm) on the Nemo, not so comfortable on the others. Nemo also folds much tighter than the others – precision engineering. Nemo and Thermarest are warmer than Exped because they have higher profile and they have silver metal on one side. I think they are all tough and will last well. They all work very well in a hammock. For me Nemo is the clear winner on the ground and in the hammock.
