Description

An excellent option for side sleeping backpackers or anyone who wants more ergonomic room and comfort in a sleeping bag, the NEMO Riff 15 Degree bag utilizes a unique "Spoon Shape" design to provide adjustable 3-season comfort and weight savings.

Down insulation has long been renowned for its compressible properties and efficiency in delivering an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The shortcoming of down has been its susceptibility to the effects of moisture, losing much of its performance qualities when wet or damp. The Riff 15's premium 800-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic down insulation provides water-repellency that keeps the insulation dry longer and allows it to dry faster if it should become wet. More importantly, it maintains thermal efficiency even if it becomes wet, a quality that could traditionally only be found in heavier, less-compressible synthetic fills. The bag's lightweight 20D ripstop nylon shell has a DWR treatment to further protect the insulation from the elements.

NEMO’s innovative Spoon Shape contours give you extra space where it matters most. The cut starts wide in the shoulders, tapers in at the hips for comfort and warmth, and flares back out through the knees, letting you bend and shift naturally throughout the night. Another unique feature is NEMO's "Thermo Gills", zippered panels that enable you to vent body heat at your core without having to unzip the entire bag. This temperature regulation feature allows the bag to remain comfortable in varying temperatures. A waterproof/breathable footbox protects the bag further from the condensation build up that frequents the inside of tent walls.

Other comfort features include a fully-insulated hood and NEMO’s soft, down-filled Blanket Fold design. This insulated panel at the collar of the bag mimics home bedding and can be tucked around the face on cold nights or lay flat when it’s not needed. A contoured side zipper and down-insulated draft tube keep cold air out of the bag's interior. Drawcord adjustments around the face can be tightened or loosened as needed. A small zippered pocket provides a place to safely stash valuables.

Available in your choice of Regular (fits to 6’ 0") and Long (6’ 6") lengths, the NEMO Riff 15 Degree sleeping bag includes a stuff sack and a storage sack.

  • Spoon shape is wider at the elbows and knees for side sleeping

  • Insulated with Responsible Down Standard Certified 800 fill power Nikwax Hydrophobic Down

Excellent bag

Likes

Purchased this bag over a year ago because i was tired of being cold on winter camp outs. Amazed at how fast it gets warm once you are in it. 28 degree weather and comfortable in tshirt and shorts. Just purchased a second Riff 15 for my oldest son.

Dislikes

can't think of a single negative.

Awesome sleeping bag for side sleepers!!

Likes

Comfort, warmth, quality, weight, plenty of room to move around for side sleepers

Dislikes

Wish the side zipper had a better system to keep it from getting caught/hung up, but once you learn the best way to zip it, it is mostly a non-issue.

Warm, roomy and soft

Likes

Great sleeping bag. Provides the warmth you need without the weight associated with other sleeping bag with similar temperature rating. Love how you dont feel claustrophobic like a typical mummy style bag. The fabric is great, very soft.

Dislikes

The down comes out sometime (not that often but it happens) just need to grab it from the inside to pull it back in. Other than that nothing to dislike.

Finally!

Where have you been all my life? This bag has the movement and comfort missing in every mummy bag! I dig the color scheme too, because looking good is part of comfort. The baffles are great and WARM... Really dig the hood and the gills, as well as the blanket design. The pillow pocket is a nice feature as well. Its lightweight yet again, warm!! The zipper is well made too! and the stuff sack is perfect.

Dislikes

No formal foot openings at the bottom, but not really a big deal. MAYBE too warm... But thats not really a big deal either.

Really warm

Likes

I'm not a fan of the classic mummy style sleeping bags on the market as I almost 100% sleep on my side. Nemo's "spoon shape" gives me a ton of space for my knees to bend so I don't have to sleep ridged. (being 6'5" and having space to bend my knees in a sleeping bag in unheard of) From my tests it's very warm even in low temperatures but I also use a high R-value sleeping pad

Dislikes

I have heard people complaining about the zipper snagging every 2 inches but so far in my use it rarely has snagged.

ONE OF THE BEST GEAR I HAVE PURCHASED

Likes

Purchased on sale at Backcountry Edge. By far this may be one of the most comfortable sleeping bags I have ever owned. Paired this sleeping bag with a 25" rectangular regular length pad (Nemo Tensor) and as a result this is the closest to sleeping in my own bed out in the woods. The bag did keep me warm on those cold nights. I slept on my back, stomach, side, tossed around and I had all the room in the world. Every feature this bag has from the spoon shape and even to the pillow pocket at the hood served its purpose. Would I purchase this bag again? Yes I would in a heartbeat! In fact, I am actually about to purchase the 30 degree bag for the warmer trips and as a backup for the family/friends that wants to tag along.

Dislikes

Because of all the features this bag has such as the spoon shape, hood and extra flap by the chest area the weight penalty comes into play. if my backpacking trip calls for some crazy mileage I start contemplating if I should bring my lighter Zpack bag or this one. It becomes a game of weight vs comfort.

Great sleeping bag!

Likes

I love having space to bend my legs without having to move the whole bag. I have been having trouble with leg cramps after a hard day’s hike and this bag gives me the room to bend and stretch and avoid them. Haven’t had one yet with this bag! It was a regular occurrence in my traditional shaped mummy bag. It also gave me the ability to pull my feet up off the bottom of the bag and keep them warmer on cold nights. Love the extras—the pillow pocket is cool, the thermal gills are great when it’s warm, and the blanket fold is awesome!

The bag was everything described. Light weight and compresses very small. Just what I was looking for. Headed on a backcountry elk hunt with it in September
