Foam and Air, Best Friends.
The NEMO Flyer Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad is one of the more original ideas in sleeping pad design, and it shows. Rather than picking sides between the lightweight packability of an air pad and the rugged dependability of a foam pad, the Flyer is both at once. A groundbreaking manufacturing process removes nearly 60% of the foam and replaces it with horizontal baffled air channels that self-inflate to 2 inches of cushioning when the valve is opened. Those air chambers sit between solid foam bridges that keep you supported and prevent bottoming out no matter how long a day you have had on the trail. A perimeter air baffle adds structure to the edges, while increased foam bridges between each baffle provide additional comfort without adding weight. The result is a pad that self-inflates on its own, shrugs off punctures far better than a pure air pad, and packs down impressively small for what it is. The 100% recycled 20D fabric is soft to the touch and pliable in the pack, the Laylow valve makes firmness tuning effortless, and the Vortex hybrid stuff sack doubles as a pump and a dry bag. As the first bluesign certified product from NEMO, this is a pad you can feel genuinely good about buying.
Features
- Hybrid design combines air pad packability with foam pad durability for a three-season pad that handles backpacking and camping with equal confidence
- Groundbreaking manufacturing process removes nearly 60% of the foam and replaces it with horizontal baffled air channels that self-inflate, increasing thickness by 290% when fully inflated
- Each hollow foam baffle creates progressive air-filled suspension that lets you sink in comfortably without the bottoming-out risk of a pure air pad
- Solid foam bridges between baffles provide even support across the sleep surface and add a backup layer of cushioning and insulation if the pad is ever punctured
- Perimeter air baffle adds structure and stability to the edges, while increased foam bridges between each baffle boost comfort with no added weight
- Horizontal coring retains a 3.3 R-value with less foam so warmth is not traded away for a lighter pack or smaller stuff sack
- 100% recycled, ultralight 20D soft-touch fabric set is more pliable and packable than competitor materials
- Laylow zero-profile, micro-adjustable valve allows for fine-tuning of firmness and fast inflation and deflation
- Included Vortex hybrid roll-top stuff sack can be used to speed up inflation or as a dry bag on the trail
- Comes with stuff sack, Vortex pump sack, Velcro strap, and repair patches
