NEMO MISSION
Our 2010 product line is the result of 8 years of devoted
labor and half a million years or so of developing better
tools for shelter and survival. NEMO is about what we
have just discovered and what we have known for a
long time. It’s about beautiful design and intelligent
engineering. It’s about serene cloudless days and bitter
cold nights spent battling snow drifts and frostbite. It’s
about bringing two worlds together: the world of design
and technology and the actual world where we test
ourselves and our inventions. We are pursuing perfection.
It is an epic journey, often elusive, demanding youthful
energy, creativity, and courage. We have come a long
way in our travels and we promise never to yield in our
determination. Like our ancestors who explored new
places for the first time, we will change the common idea
of what is possible.
NEMO’s spirit is in adventure. Without the beautiful wild places
where adventures are made, our spirit dies. We are committed
to reducing our environmental impact. Finding the right path
forward takes a great deal of research, problem solving and
commitment. And finding the right path is only the first challenge,
walking that path is the real test. NEMO has been making strides
to use more sustainable materials, to repurpose byproducts of
manufacturing, and to recycle products at the end of their useful
life. We are taking steps for the future of our planet and hope
you will do the same. To learn more about NEMO’s GRN™ efforts,

Optional Accessories
1. Spare Bladder: Add a spare welded PU bladder
with inflation/deflation valve to your repair kit for
backcountry travel. In the rare event that you need
to change your airbeam bladder, it will allow you to
quickly swap in the spare without having to check
for leaks or repair pinholes.
2. Spare Nemoid™ Foot Pump: The Nemoid™ Foot
Pump is the fastest way to inflate AirSupported™
tents, and is included with your Morpho 1P™ tent.
It inflates Morpho 1P™ in forty-five seconds and
can be stored flat in your tent’s stuff sack by simply
closing the Dump-Check Valve™ before squeezing
the air out of the pump body.
3. Integrated Pump: The Integrated Pump is the
smallest and lightest way to inflate AirSupported™
tents. The “lung-amplifying” pump features durable
welded construction, a Moisture Release Valve™, and
a Quick-Disconnect Valve for easy airbeam setup.
4. Footprint: The Footprint is a 70D abrasion-
resistant nylon fabric ground sheet perfectly sized
to fit underneath your tent. The fabric is PU coated
for waterproofness (10,000 mm). The Footprint
reduces wear and tear on your tent floor from
contact with the ground.
5. Pawprint™: The Pawprint™ is a removable liner
perfectly sized to fit inside your tent. It has the dual
function of protecting your tent floor from boots
and paws, and of adding serious comfort. The
Pawprint™ is made of a machine-washable brushed
polyester that is very soft to the touch. Place your
sleeping pads between the Pawprint™ and floor to
help them stay in place. With a clean, soft Pawprint™
under you, you might be able to save some weight
and travel with a lighter sleeping bag or blanket.

MORPHO 1P™ Innovations
MORPHO 1P™
One Person Palace
Morpho 1P™ is the new solo version of our flagship Morpho 2P™ tent.
Thanks to smaller diameter airbeams, Morpho 1P™ inflates faster and packs
considerably smaller than its bigger brother, but retains the same comfort.
Solo campers who covet their elbow room can rejoice in Morpho 1P’s™ huge
interior space. Non-breathable walls with an upper waterproof/breathable
panel help reduce the weight, while smart crossbow-style vents provide
good ventilation and funnel condensation out of the tent. An expansive rear
vent also provides versatile ventilation options. Includes a Nemoid™ Foot
Pump, watertight stuff sack, stakes, and repair kit.
1. AirSupported Technology®: NEMO’s airbeams
provide a high performance alternative to
traditional metal and fiberglass tent poles. Airbeams
are made of two layers: an outer layer provides the
shape, strength, and puncture resistance while a
thin, replaceable inner bladder holds the air. Using
the included Nemoid™ Pump, airbeam inflation of
Morpho 1P™ is fast (less than 45 seconds) and easy.
Airbeams also make field repair much easier and
more reliable than with metal poles. NEMO AST™
stands up better to high winds, since there are no
poles to break, and can be packed into smaller, more
irregularly shaped spaces like the hull of a kayak or
panniers on a bike.
2. Setup from Inside: NEMO AirSupported
Technology® allows you to set up the tent from
the inside during bad weather. After staking out
your Morpho 1P™, get inside, and take your time
pumping up the airbeam while staying dry.
3. ExoFly™ Retractable Vestibule: Morpho 1P™
features a unique morphing vestibule. The tent
is designed to store gear inside where it can stay
dry and close at hand, but if you need a temporary
vestibule simply unclip and retract the inner tent
from the fly.

4. Side Vents: Crossbow style vents are easy
to deploy from inside the tent. Located on both
sides of the tent for cross-flow ventilation, these
waterproof vents can stay open even in the most
driving rain. They also provide functional shelves
for stowing small items.
5. Rear Vents: Morpho 1P’s expansive rear vent adds
a feeling of openness to the tent and maximizes air
circulation. Since the vent is mesh on the outside,
it is easily adjustable from the inside to deal with
changing weather conditions. Even if it’s raining,
you can zip the vent shut but still use the small strut
at the top to make a rainproof opening.
6. UVX Window: The vestibule includes a UVX
window so you can check conditions outside
without exposing your gear to the elements.
The window is optically clear, non-yellowing,
non-clouding, UV resistant, and remains flexible
in cold temperatures.
7. OSMO™: Revised for 2010, NEMO’s improved
waterproof/breathable fabric, OSMO™, continues to
set the standard for breathability in single wall tents.
The new OSMO™ is a 40D ripstop polyester with a
hydrophobic microporous PU coating. The polyester
is naturally UV-resistant and doesn’t sag when
wet. OSMO™ is highly durable, chemical-resistant,
lightweight, and abrasion-resistant.
8. Watertight Compression Sack: Many of the
NEMO tents include watertight dry bags, including
Morpho 1P™. Having your tent in a watertight stuff
sack means it won’t take on water weight if it’s
in your backpack while you’re hiking in the rain,
or if it’s in your kayak when you roll your boat.
Alternatively, if you have to pack your tent wet,
it will help keep the rest of the gear in your pack dry.

NEMO Quality
NEMO Warranty
There is a reason why our logo resembles a medieval shield. If you’ve
ever seen an authentic medieval shield or piece of armor, the detail and
quality of craftsmanship are astonishing. Hours were spent shaping and
perfecting every component knowing the gravity of purpose and the need
for reliable performance. At NEMO, we take the same approach to quality.
We know from our own experience how vital a tent can be for comfort and
survival. Your tent is your home in the wilderness and your armor against
the elements. We obsess over every design decision to ensure you get
the greatest comfort and protection possible. Our process begins with
pencil and paper and evolves methodically through computer modeling,
prototyping, testing, and development. We use all the latest tools, software,
manufacturing methods, and materials. If we aren’t happy with what’s
available, we make our own. We strive to design and build the best tents
on the planet. We stand behind our shield, the symbol of NEMO quality.

Connect Pump
Connect the Nemoid™ foot pump to the airbeam valves through
the access zippers.There will be an audible click when the pump
is connected properly.
Stake Corners
Secure the corner anchors by pounding the stakes into the ground
with a rock or hard object. If the ground is too hard, trap the stakes
under a rock or another heavy object.
Inflate Airbeams
To use the Nemoid™ foot pump, make sure the Dump-Check™
Valve is open. Step on the pump body repeatedly until it becomes
difficult to compress.
Tension
Proper tension in your tent shell ensures maximum water shedding
and wind resistance. Once the airbeams are inflated, pull firmly on
the adjustable corner anchors. Add guy-lines for additional strength.
Locate Valves
Remember to leave no trace. Before leaving your campsite take a thorough look
around making sure you have not left anything behind, out of place, or damaged.
