The hugely successful Disco range has been updated but still retains the relaxed spoon shape, with comfort at the forefront, and allows for maximum temperature regulation with Nemo's award-winning Thermo Gills feature.
Nemo says
Seventy percent of people sleep on their side, yet mummy bags are not designed to accommodate this. Updated with new contours, Disco™ continues to reign as the ideal down backpacking bag for side-sleepers, offering the plushest comfort possible on the trail.
The classic Spoon™ shape provides a generous cut at the elbows and knees so side sleepers can shift positions comfortably throughout the night, while still packing remarkably small. Premium 650FP hydrophobic, PFC-free, RDS Certified down ensures traceability throughout the supply chain.
These 3-season backpacking bags are loaded with features, including Thermo Gills™ that help regulate temperature during the night, Blanket Fold™ that provides tucked-in comfort, and a waterproof/breathable footbox to withstand tent condensation. Left-sided zippers on Men’s and right-sided zippers on Women’s allow Disco™ to zip together for a double version of these favorite sleeping bags.
Our Verdict
The highly popular Nemo Disco 15 Sleeping Bag has been updated. It retains the comfortable and spacious 'spoon' shape so it is still wider at the elbows and knees, meaning you can toss and turn as much as you want, without the bag restricting you. The bag uses 625g of 650FP down to deliver a -9°C comfort limit which is impressive for a bag with this many features. The Disco range use wider dimension for a focus on comfort and this has been one of the reason for its success.
Nemo have kept the innovative Thermo Gills which are shown by the 2 slits down the center of the bag. They unzip to let warm air out if you get too hot at night, allowing you to vent body heat without letting cold drafts in and they work really well, especially in changeable conditions. They have also increased the bags water resistance with waterproof footbox and hood and further DWR treatments on the other fabrics. Another feature it has that is quite unique to Nemo bags, is the Blanket Fold. Like a comforter at home, the blanket fold gives some extra material to snuggle around your face and helps to control temperature. The Forte bags are still able to zip together with the women's bags if that is something that you want in your bag.
