About the brand

NEMO Equipment was born on a turbulent night in 2002 on the side of Mount Washington, where founder Cam Brensinger spent five sleepless hours in a poorly designed bivy and realized how much better outdoor gear could be with thoughtful design. He founded NEMO that spring in Nashua, New Hampshire — naming it after Jules Verne's Captain Nemo, and, fittingly, 'New England Mountain Outfitters.' At Mountain Sports, we love NEMO for that problem-solving, design-first spirit: award-winning tents, sleeping bags, pads, and camp furniture engineered for real comfort and built to last.
