  • Our take on the NEMO Switchback

    The NEMO Switchback is a closed-cell foam sleeping pad with a reflective film that bounces body heat back. At 14.5 oz and an R-value of 2.0, it is a light, packable pad for three-season camping and backpacking. Unlike air pads it cannot puncture or leak, and it doubles as a sit pad or a frame for a frameless pack. Reviewers call it firm and thin at 0.9 inches, so side sleepers and cold sleepers often want more cushioning or a higher R-value.

    Questions and answers

    Is the NEMO Switchback warm enough for winter?
    No. Its R-value of 2.0 suits three-season use. For freezing nights, pair it with a higher-R pad or choose an insulated air pad.
    How does it compare with an air pad?
    It cannot puncture or leak and sets up instantly, but it is firmer, thinner and bulkier packed than an air pad.
    Which length should I get?
    The Regular at 71 inches fits most adults. The Short at 51 inches saves weight and suits smaller sleepers or torso-only use.
    Can I use it on top of another pad?
    Yes. Many owners put it under an air pad to add warmth and protect against punctures.
    Does it come with a stuff sack?
    It folds accordion-style and is usually carried flat or strapped to a pack, so it does not rely on a stuff sack.
    Where is the NEMO Switchback cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $59.95, as of our latest check.
