Vantage™ 26L Endless Promise® Commuter Daypack

     

Overview

The fully recyclable Vantage™ daypack is a commuter’s  workhorse, featuring a revolutionary set of NEMO-exclusive fabrics for  an abrasion-resistant, water-resistant exterior and a groundbreaking  foam alternative with excellent cushioning and wicking properties.  Designed with multipurpose in mind, Vantage can transition from work to  play with ease. Its large exterior pocket can easily hold a helmet or  shoes when commuting, and extra layers when you’re on the trail. 

Beyond functionality and high performance, the Vantage series delivers a very distinct and essential advantage: It  is designed to stay out of the landfill, forever. Durable, adjustable,  and easily repairable, Endless Promise packs are intended to remain in  use as long as possible — but when they do finally reach their limit,  NEMO has taken responsibility for ensuring that they can be fully  recycled.

From this recyclability design challenge came two major material  innovations. First, our new CERO™ fabric is woven from recycled yarns,  has a tear strength up to 2x higher than the industry standard, and is  also up to 1.5x more water-resistant than other packs on the market —  perfect for those unplanned downpours! It’s also made entirely of  recycled (and recyclable) PET.   Likewise, instead of traditional unrecyclable foams for cushioning,  we’ve introduced CCubed™, a recycled and recyclable material that avoids  harmful off-gassing seen with EVAs. In addition, CCubed cushioning is  97% air which, unlike foam, allows it to quickly wick away sweat and  help it evaporate. Body-mapped to your sweat zones, this results in a  noticeably drier and cooler pack experience, even on hot summer days.

We expect Vantage to be on the move for a long time, but when it’s  taken its last trip, it can be sent back to NEMO for total recycling,  preventing any further waste and enabling it to live on as new gear for  the next adventurer.
