GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

NEMO Switchback

The NEMO Switchback is one of the most affordable and durable sleeping pads for backpacking, and it's also a great multipurpose tool for winter camping! A closed-cell foam pad, like the Switchback, provides an insulated place to sit and stand in camp and boosts the R-value of inflatable sleeping pads in sub-freezing conditions. It also makes a great, portable dog bed to keep your pup warm and dry.

We named the Switchback “best closed-cell foam pad” on our Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads list. Check out our full review here.
