Nemo Forte vs. Nemo Disco – Which Endless Promise Sleeping Bag Is Right for You?
Choosing the right sleeping bag can make or break your outdoor adventure. Nemo Equipment’s Endless Promise Collection is designed with sustainability, comfort, and performance in mind. Two of the top choices in the lineup are the Nemo Forte Synthetic Sleeping Bag and the Nemo Disco Down Sleeping Bag. Let’s break down the key differences so you can find the perfect fit for your next camping or backpacking trip.
Insulation – Synthetic vs. Down
-
Nemo Forte Synthetic: Built with Zerofiber PCR synthetic insulation, the Forte retains warmth even in damp conditions, making it a reliable choice for humid or rainy environments.
-
Nemo Disco Down: Packed with 650-fill-power, RDS-certified down, the Disco offers unbeatable warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, ideal for cold, dry nights.
Comfort & Fit
Both sleeping bags use Nemo’s signature Classic Spoon™ shape, giving you extra room at the shoulders and knees—perfect for side and stomach sleepers. You’ll also find Thermo-Gill™ vents in each bag, letting you regulate temperature throughout the night.
Weight & Packability
-
Disco Down 15° Regular: Weighs around 2 lb 11 oz and packs down small, saving space in your pack.
-
Forte Synthetic 20° Regular: A bit bulkier and heavier than down, but offers more peace of mind in unpredictable weather.
Sustainability – Endless Promise Design
Both the Forte and Disco are part of Nemo’s Endless Promise Collection, designed to be fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle. This means you get premium performance today while protecting the outdoors for tomorrow.
