It’s likely that you’ve heard it before, but now this testing procedure has undergone the research and development to ensure that it’s reliable and consistent across the board. Until now, there has not been an industry-wide, standardized measurement for every outdoor brand or retailer to accurately test or measure R-Value. R-Value is shorthand for thermal resistance, which is a measurement that reports how much a sleeping pad resists or prevents heat from flowing from a warm body and down to the ground. The result is R-Value as a measurement of one-directional heat flowing from a warm body through a pad to the cold surface beneath the pad. The test works by measuring how much energy it takes to keep the hot plate at body temperature. In short, we helped to develop the standard and make this the most simple, repeatable, streamlined, and precise testing process yet.

In an effort to provide greater clarity and a better understanding of how to choose the best sleeping pads and bags in all four seasons, the NEMO team collaborated in an industry-wide initiative to redefine the R-Value specifications for all. It’s not just the launch of our new first-of-a-kind hybrid pad or our dialed-in sleep systems and adventure kits that’ll catch your eye, but the standardized ASTM R-Values of our pads will stand out, too.

That’s why you’ll notice something new for 2020 on our product descriptions, packaging, and messaging. Getting down to the studs is our thing, it’s an approach that we’re proud to stand behind - and are always willing to champion for the betterment of all. Because, here at NEMO, we’re keen on being detail-oriented in the name of great design. So, if you’re the kind of gear head who loves to nerd out on the little things, then you’ve come to the right place - and if you’re not, then you’re also in good hands. Things might not always go according to plan, but when it comes to staying warm (or cool), dry, supported, and safe from the elements, you’ll want to know that the few precious items you brought along will get the job done.

After 8 years of leading the charge for standardized R-Value testing, NEMO helped to develop an industry-wide standard that allows consumers to accurately compare pads and understand their warmth.
