Description

The Nemo Astro is an air sleeping pad and camp mattress for backpacking: a 3.5 in thick, rectangular pad built from recycled polyester, with baffles running across the pad and a pump sack in the bag. It comes Insulated (R 2.6) or Non-Insulated (R 1.5), in Regular or Long Wide.

Who it's for

Walkers who want a proper night's sleep on the ground and a pad that is simple to live with. Nemo pitches the Astro at first-time backpackers and anyone building out a camp kit, and lists backpacking as its use; the lighter Non-Insulated version adds ultralight backpacking.

The pad is 3.5 in deep, enough to smooth out uneven ground and rough terrain.

What R-value means for you

R-value measures how well a pad stops the cold ground drawing heat out of you. Higher is warmer.

  • Astro Non-Insulated: R 1.5. No insulation layer, so it is the lighter pad of the two.
  • Astro Insulated: R 2.6. A layer of PrimaLoft made from 100% post-consumer recycled material sits inside the pad.

Comfort and noise

The baffles run side to side, not head to toe. That does two things: the pad lies flat instead of curling up around you, and your body is cradled across the tubes rather than rolling off the edge in the night.

At the head end the Pillow Baffle is raised, which props your pillow up and stops it skating off the pad in the small hours.

Inflation and packing

The Vortex pump sack comes in the bag. It fills the pad quickly, saves your breath at elevation and minimises the moisture getting into the pad. The Laylow valve sits flush with the pad and is micro-adjustable, so you lie down, press, and stop when the firmness is right.

Deflated, the Astro rolls into its stuff sack and a velcro strap holds the roll tight. Packed sizes are 22 x 11 cm (Insulated Regular), 24 x 11 cm (Insulated Long Wide), 20 x 9 cm (Non-Insulated Regular) and 24 x 9 cm (Non-Insulated Long Wide).

Weight

  • Non-Insulated: Regular 540 g (580 g packed), Long Wide 710 g (750 g packed).
  • Insulated: Regular 690 g (730 g packed), Long Wide 890 g (930 g packed).

The Regular measures 183 x 51 cm and the Long Wide 193 x 64 cm, so the Long Wide adds length and width for a little more weight.

Durability and repair

The shell is 75D recycled polyester and bluesign approved. Repair patches come in the bag, so a thorn on day two of a walk is a quick fix at camp.

FAQ's

Should I buy the Nemo Astro Insulated or Non-Insulated?
The Nemo Astro Insulated is rated R 2.6 and weighs 690 g in Regular; the Non-Insulated is R 1.5 and 540 g. Take the Insulated for more warmth from the ground, the Non-Insulated for the lighter pad.

Does the Nemo Astro come with a pump?
Yes. The Nemo Astro includes the Vortex pump sack, which fills the pad quickly and minimises the moisture getting into it. A stuff sack, velcro strap and repair patches are also included.

How thick is the Nemo Astro?
The Nemo Astro is 3.5 in thick in both the Insulated and Non-Insulated versions and in both sizes. Nemo designed that depth to smooth out uneven ground and rough terrain.

What sizes does the Nemo Astro come in?
The Nemo Astro comes in Regular (183 x 51 cm) and Long Wide (193 x 64 cm), and both are rectangular. Both sizes are sold in the Insulated and Non-Insulated versions.

What is the Pillow Baffle on the Nemo Astro?
The Pillow Baffle is a raised baffle at the head end of the Nemo Astro. It adds height under your pillow and helps stop the pillow sliding off the pad overnight.

What is the Nemo Astro sleeping pad made from?
The Nemo Astro has a 75D recycled polyester shell that is bluesign approved. The Insulated version adds PrimaLoft insulation made from 100% post-consumer recycled material.

How do I adjust the firmness of the Nemo Astro?
Lie on the Nemo Astro and press the Laylow valve. The micro-adjustable valve releases air in small amounts, so you can soften the pad a little at a time until it suits you.
