Design and Features
Here’s what Coda offers you:
Packability and Warmth
The Coda cuts weight without sacrificing warmth. Its tapered mummy design keeps things efficient. High-quality 800 fill power, RDS-certified down fills the bag. This down traps heat effectively and packs down incredibly small, making Coda ideal for ultralight backpacking and mountaineering. The water-resistant down adds a touch of extra resilience against moisture.
Comfort and Temperature Control
Nemo prioritizes your comfort with thoughtful features. The all-new Headwall™ draft guard wraps around your neck for complete warmth. It cleverly overlaps in front to create a snug, draft-free seal. A Thermo Gill™ vent with a multi-stage zipper lets you fine-tune temperature control. Need a quick cool down? The footbox features its own zipper for ventilation or extra legroom.
Sustainability
Coda is part of Nemo’s Endless Promise® collection. This means Nemo takes responsibility for the bag’s entire lifecycle. Made from just one type of material, the Coda is 100% recyclable. When your adventures are done, simply send it back to Nemo and they’ll handle the rest. Plus, Coda uses recycled fabrics throughout and avoids harmful PFAS chemicals.
Additional Details
The Coda boasts thoughtful touches that enhance your experience. Both the hood and footbox are reinforced with waterproof material. This keeps condensation from your tent from soaking into the bag and compromising warmth. For a streamlined design, the Cohaesive™ hood cinch hardware is bonded directly to the bag. This eliminates dangling straps and creates a cleaner look.
Nemo provides all the need-to-know specs in a handy table. Key details include weight (around 2 pounds, 3 ounces), temperature ratings (comfort at 23°F, limit at 11°F), and size limits (fits up to someone 5’6″ tall).
Coda comes in a sleek Goodnight Gray color and features a center-mounted zipper for easy access.
