Nemo's Riff 15F provides much-needed space for restless sleepers without adding weight. The premium down and ventilation system ensures warmth and comfort. The durable construction and packability make it an excellent choice for ultralight backpacking.
Nemo says:
A pinnacle-performance 3-season 800 FP down bag, Riff offers a trim, athletic cut designed for side sleepers who crave space-saving packability. NEMO’s iconic Spoon™ bags are cut wider at the elbows and knees so campers can easily shift positions throughout the night, and the Ultralight Spoon silhouette used on Riff maintains that extra room while cutting in tighter at the feet and shoulders. The result is a sleeping bag vastly more comfortable than a mummy bag, but still impressively compact.
Our Verdict
Nemo's Riff 15F provides a luxuriously roomy haven in an ultralight package for ounce-counting backpackers who toss and turn at night. The key is Nemo's Ultralight Spoon shape, with extra space around the elbows and knees to allow side sleepers to shift positions freely. Despite the generous interior, the streamlined design keeps weight and packed size impressively trim.
At its core is premium 800-fill hydrophobic down, which provides reliable warmth to the 15°F rating. Nemo's ThermoGill vent system offers extra ventilation through staggered zippers without compromising warmth. The plush Blanket Fold draft collar seals in heat around your shoulders.
Other highlights include a waterproof/breathable foot box, ultra-durable 20D recycled fabrics with PFC-free DWR, and anti-snag zipper tracks. Weighing under 2 lbs for the regular size, it's an ultralight option for cold-weather adventures.
Perfect for active side sleepers, the Riff 15F delivers Nemo's legendary sleep comfort in a highly packable, premium, down-filled package. It is an excellent investment for ounce-counters who want to maintain quality sleep on high-mileage backpacking trips.
