I fit! Light and warm for the big and tall
BigBearBackpacker8 years ago
This was more than I had planned on spending on a bag, but I'm 6'3 and 285 pounds. I have broad shoulders and big legs and I CAN ACTUALLY FIT all the way down into this bag, shoulders and all and use the pillow pocket as a hood if I want. I go the LONG version and It's the first warm, lightweight bag I've ever been able to fit in. I've used it twice so far and it is wonderful. I have other, much heavier XL bags that I fit into, but I'm not taking a 9lb sleeping bag on a backpacking trip. This thing is light, warm, and SUPER spacious. If you're a small person, it probably has too much room and wouldn't be warm to its rating because of the extra space. But if you're a big person and looking for a warm bag you can actually get zipped up inside and is light enough to carry on a backpacking trip, GET THIS BAG! I love it.

Very Comfortable but not a good cold weather bag
Riverjunkie7 years ago
I agree with other reviews about how comfortable this bag is - absolutely. I've had it out and about now for about 30 nights. Good bag for temps in mid 40s or above. Even on warm nights it's very easy to manage temp with clothing options, vents and zipper. Below 45 I needed a full zip, light weight long underwear - top and bottom - plus smart wool sock liners. Below 40 I added a hat, heavy socks, mid weight versus light base layer and really needed the draw string cinched up. I was sleeping on an insulated air mattress with R3. Still and all I like the bag for it's comfort.

I HATE mummy bags!!
8 years ago
I bought this about a week ago and got to use it for the first time last night. The weather was moderate so I can not guarantee the temp rating. However, I can say that this bag cures every thing that I hate about mummy bags. It is not cramped. It allows easy movement from back, to side, to stomach. The flap at the neck seals out the cold and the pillow pocket is a "why didn't I think of that?" idea. It might be said that it is bigger or a little heavier than some mummy bags but the added comfort level makes it worth it. My ## brand bag goes on to eBay tomorrow!

comfy bag
6 years ago
Keeps you warm! Have used it to temps close to freezing or at freezing (didnt have service to check). Without a doubt a comfortable sleeping for those side sleepers like myself. The pull over 'blanket' that can cover your neck is an amazing feature and the pocket for your pillow is nice to stuff some clothes in! found myself using the sleeping bag half zipped from the bottom up to allow ventilation in anything above maybe ~50F? Talking about mostly coastal california and I sleep in shorts and a shirt. Stuffs down to a great size and the stuff sack could be just a bit bigger if I were to recommend an improvement.

Best Gear in my Pack
7 years ago
Recent purchase and just used on Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim 51 mile trek. Temps on north side of canyon into mid 20s at night. This bag is well thought and delivers in performance. As a side and stomach sleeper this bag is it allowing room to move. The vents, neck collar and zipper guard are all great features. Actually used vents to cool off bag. I am sure I can use this bag down into teens with no problem. No issues working in my 60 liter pack for the 4 night trip and all normal gear. Simply put a great sleeping system

30 Degree Nemo versus 15 Degree Nemo
5 years ago
Story is that I first bought a 30 degree Nemo and was cold in it (had to wear all my clothes and a fleece jacket) at around 35 degrees in my tent with a pad while backbacking in the Wind Rivers in Wyoming. So I'd say the 30 degree Nemo is more like a 40 degree bag ( I know different folks have different "comfort levels";I'm a 170 lb 6 ' tall guy). My buddy had a new 15 degree Nemo on the same trip and he was comfortable in it. At the end of the trip I took the 30 degree bag back (REI was great about the return) and ordered a 15 degree Nemo. The roominess of the Nemo is outstanding - night and day when compared to a mummy bag.

Plenty of room for the big guy!
8 years ago
Bought this a few months ago to replace a more traditional mummy design (mummy too constricting) bag. Tried the Disco 15 Long in cool low 40 degree weather and it was a champ. Allowed me plenty of leg room and shoulder room as I slept on either my back or my sides. Loved the additonal "blanket" flap which I could move inside or outside when I was getting too warm. The additional vent slots helped cool the bag without having to open the entry zipper.

Rating is over-rated, not a 15 deg bag
6 years ago
Nemo Disco 15: I was thoroughly disappointed with this $300 bag. It is rated for 15 deg. ...Way off; not even close. I used this bag for two nights when the temperature was only 28 deg. I slept inside the car with it and had long johns on too. I froze! The loft is thin and my knees and butt got even colder if anywhere near against the fabric...it was a cold bag with unending cold spots, depending on position in the bag. For that price, the bag is a total failure. I took it right back to REI for a refund. it is way over-rated and will not perform as represented. Do not buy,

Leg room!

I’m so glad I didn’t go with a mummy bag. Most of my camping is canoe camping, so I don’t need to pack as light as if I were backpacking. I sleep completely sprawled out, and mummy bags wake me up when I move around in my sleep. I camped recently and it was about 50 degrees and it was almost too warm. I do wish the storage pocket was bigger. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. I’m not sure what you’re supposed to put in it as a normal sized smart phone doesn’t fit I also wish there were plain colors to choose from. I’m not a big fan of bright neon colors, but it’s not too big of a deal.

Warm and extremely comfortable
8 years ago
I bought this bag because I need to be able to move my legs about when I sleep. I don't just sleep on my side, I sleep with one knee bent and the other one straight in all different combinations. When using a traditional mummy bag I would wake up a dozen times every night because I couldn't move my legs the way I want and just feel uncomfortable. I don't have claustrophobia but I would definitely dare call it a borderline claustrophobic experience. Not in this bag! This bag gives me the freedom to get a full nights sleep. I can lay on my side with one leg straight and the other one bent completely and still fit without problems. And I'm a tall guy at 190cm/6'2". This sleeping bag comes with a snag-guard to prevent the zipper from snagging. The problem is it's only on one side so it still snags. Not the biggest of issues, all zippers will snag. I feel that the thermal-gils did help vent a bit of heat when it was too warm, so not just a gimmick. The mini blanket is super nice and soft, makes a huge difference on colder nights. The pillow pocket was useful too. In my experience, it worked best with a down jacket. All in all the most comfortable bag I've ever used. You just have to realize that it is a compromise in size, weight and warmth compared to a mummy-bag. In my opinion it is a compromise worth taking to get a good nights sleep. I feel that Nemo has made a good effort into making it small, warm and light weight considering the circumstances. There are only two things I wish they made different and that they might do differently in future models. The first is to skip the insulation in the bottom to save a bit of weight and add a pad sleeve instead to keep the bag in place. The second thing would be a way to vent heat from the foot end of the bag. Either by extending the zipper all the way down or some other way to make it possible to stick your feet out from the bottom.
