  Closed - Cell Foam Pad

  Nemo brought nerdy design and engineering to the closed-cell foam sleeping pad, bringing the first new idea in these durable, go-anywhere pads in decades. By mathematical magic, Nemo designed the Switchback sleeping pad to be 1.5 times as thick, plusher, and more comfortable then the current leading pads... all while packing down to the same size. The high-quality dual-density foam is designed for plush, reliable comfort, and is metalized for a heat reflective surface that traps warmth.

Footprint sold separately.

Winter Escapes: Eric Larsen’s Top 5 Places for Snowshoe Adventures
  By Eric Larsen      Some people look at winter and see bone-chilling cold, bad driving conditions and more, but if youre anything like me you see winter as the great leveler—literally. Snow evens out the bumps, stumps, roots and rocks of any trail, and covers up undergrowth and shrubs, making the wintry landscape beautiful and perfect for snowshoeing. Still, some...

48 Hour Epic Contest: Show Us Your Adventure & Win
  What would you do if you had just 48 hours and an ultralight pack of overnight gear? How fast and how far would you go—and where? What epic human-powered adventure would you conquer?   Last summer we posed this question to MSR employees in a contest inspired by MSR’s new TrailShot pocket-sized water filter. In their ideas, the employees had to...
Tough Enough in Madagascar
  Words by Nina Caprez, photos by Jan Novak   Climbing has this ability of showing us what is really going on inside of us, of bringing our ego to the light, and that’s often painful.   Standing at the bottom of the wall, I was realizing this. Realizing I had not really faced this type of challenge as directly and bravely as...
Assessing Avalanche Danger: Backcountry Touring & Snowmobiling
  Jackson Hole, WY, the place I’m lucky to call home, has gained an international reputation for three things: skiing, powder and skiing. It’s the lifeblood of our 15,000-person town, based in the northeast corner of the least populated state in the country. The most accessible backcountry terrain, Teton Pass, sees just shy of a quarter-million runs each year, more than...
Baffin Island Exploration: A Trip to the Edge of the World

The Thru
  By Renee Patrick   The quintessential Oregon that comes to mind for many is one of wet, lush forests, rocky coastlines, and snowy peaks, but on the other side of the Cascade Mountains lies a high desert landscape that covers almost half of the state. For Brent Fenty, Oregon Natural Desert Association’s (ONDA) executive director, this immense desert has captivated him...
Training for Antarctica: Polar
  Theres no business like snow business.   Nearly every year in January or February, I make a pilgrimage to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where I indoctrinate a bevy of aspiring Shackleton wannabes on the finer points of polar travel and winter survival.      For those of you who dont know, I teach a variety of hands-on intensives focused on winter...
10 Incredible Short Thru

If you’re looking for something more manageable—even one done in a day or two—North America has plenty of options for short thru-hikes that can be completed in a single long day if you’re an experienced trekker, or...
