NEMO Pulse 20/30 Ultralight Down Quilt
THE NEMO PULSE PROVIDES THE BEST WARMTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO IN ITS CLASS.
The Pulse is the ideal addition to our ultralight kit, tailored for the detail-oriented thru-hiker who values speed and efficiency over unnecessary weight. This quilt-style sleeping bag takes advantage of the insulating properties of NEMO sleeping pads, offering the best warmth-to-weight ratio in its class, with 1,000 FP ExpeDRY gold-infused down. The down is evenly distributed within Karo Step baffles, a design choice that uses approximately 45% less material.
The enclosed footbox of the Pulse keeps your feet warm throughout the night, while the included elastic straps allow for easy attachment to a sleeping pad, providing either relaxed coverage or a tight seal against the cold. Premium Cohaesive® hardware, combined with a soft collar baffle, further prevents drafts from sneaking in.
Made with 100% recycled polyester ripstop and a PFAS-free DWR coating, the Pulse combines sustainability with high performance.

Reviews
"This quilt is now my go-to quilt for any adventure that will get cold at night. It's extremely well made and super light! It pairs well with the newer Tensor Extreme pad. The straps are intuitive and set apart from most competitors."
"I used my new PULSE last weekend on a chilly PNW overnight. Who would have thought cosy comfort comes so light? I was so toasty warm."
"Didn’t know I needed a quilt until I slept with the Pulse which fundamentally changed how I sleep outside. I hate feeling confined and used to flop around like a fish in my sleeping bags which led to restless nights. Inevitably I would end up halfway out of my bag with it awkwardly draped over top of me and I would wake up exhausted from constantly adjusting throughout the night. But with the Pulse I’ve never slept better outside."
