Staff Comments

The Pulse™ is a product of NEMO's commitment to combining cutting-edge materials and design. It's not just lightweight, it's also packed with features to ensure true comfort in the field. You'll be surprised at how light it is at first, but you'll fall in love with its comfort as you use it. This is a must-try for anyone looking to lighten their gear, not just for thru-hiking.

However, choosing the right mattress is important to get the most out of this quilt. Mattresses with poor insulation can make your back feel cold. I use it in combination with NEMO's Tensor™ All Season, and with this combination, I can sleep soundly and comfortably even when hiking in cold weather!
