There's no substitute for confidence in your gear, especially your tent. That's why NEMO Equipment has continued to fine-tune its two-person Morpho AR tent through the years to create the perfect all-weather tent for extended travel. The Morpho is outfitted with NEMO's Air-Supported Technology (AST), a unique pole-free design that employs a pair of inflatable airbeams and an integrated pump to set up in as little as 45 seconds. The ingenious design offers several advantages over traditional tent poles, including rapid setup, greater strength and wind resistance, smaller packing, the ability to bend without breaking, and easier repair in the field. Plus, the tent's Osmo waterproof shell is tough enough to handle almost any weather challenge, with zippers that seal up tight to protect you during vicious downpours, high winds, and early-season snow.
Campers will also appreciate the spacious 14-square-foot ExoFly vestibule, which not only protects your gear from rough weather but also adds some elbow room when open. Other details include a 30-denier polyurethane nylon floor; 40 square feet of sleeping space; a rear scoop vent that aids air circulation; a scalloped tail that keeps the tent body taut; and a pair of airbeams for easy inflation. The Morpho AR measures 112 by 42 by 64 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.7 pounds packed.
Air-Supported Technology The Morpho AR offers a pressurized air system that mimics the technology used to inflate basketballs, car tires, and even spacesuits. The system is built around a pair of airbeams, with a puncture-resistant sailcloth shell on the exterior and polyurethane bladders on the interior. In the event of a puncture--an unusual event during ordinary use, but accidents do happen--the tent comes with an easy-to-install spare bladder.
The Morpho AR's doors seal up tightly for impenetrable storm protection. When properly inflated, NEMO's airbeams are considerably stronger than traditional aluminum tent poles. In one test, the Morpho airbeam withstood more than twice the downward force of a standard tent pole. In addition, the airbeam springs back into shape even after you bend it all the way to the ground. More significantly from a backpacker's perspective, NEMO's AST is capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures. At its recommended inflation pressure of 7 psi, the Morpho AR withstands dramatic temperature swings between freezing (32 degrees F) and searing heat (120 degrees F), with only a minor change in air pressure (up to 8.2 psi)--not even close to the 20 psi minimum burst pressure. If you start in intense heat (120 degrees F) and drop to the freezing point, the pressure drops to 5.9 psi, a small enough difference that you probably won't even notice.
Finally, all AST tents include an integrated pump that takes the 1 or 2 psi that you can blow with your lungs and amplifies it to the 7 to 9 psi you need to adequately inflate a NEMO airbeam. All you have to do is blow into the peanut-shaped belly of the pump
