The Nemo GoGo is simply a superb bit of kit. I have had mine 4 weeks now and am impressed. I am a Mountain Leader (ML) and am always looking for really light kit which will do the business. The GoGo does all this and more. It is a one man bivvy but with space for my overnight daysack and me and the ability to cook from a position of shelter.

The inflatable airbeam provides a lightweight yet rigid support which has stood up to some testing winds, I have had no problems at all so far. Inflation takes 30 seconds and on one occasion I got inside to keep the wind a rain off – a doddle. The swallowtail provides greater comfort but if you are in a hurry there is plenty of room to spare without it.

So the summary: The GoGo weighs under a kilo, (about the same as my basic Army Bivvy Bag). It inflates in seconds, provides ample comfortable space to live in, and with the exchange rate to the dollar was excellent value. Simply excellent.
