About the Company:
NEMO Equipment is an award-winning New England-based specialty outdoor brand that makes backpacking and camping gear for everyone with the drive to explore the uncharted path. NEMO’s reputation for design innovation is a result of its philosophy to never bring anything to market that doesn’t offer a meaningfully better experience, whether that’s the first swinging and reclining portable camp chair (Stargaze™), the first sleeping bags for side sleepers (the Spoon™ shape series), or the first composite-weave, 100% recycled tent fabric (OSMO™).
For over two decades, as our team has grown, we have actively lived out the belief that intelligently designed gear enables the adventures that make us all our best selves — humans who are conscious, inspired, connected, and mindful. The sticker in our conference room captures our ethos: “Design Like You Give a Damn.”
We do just that.
