Tips for Extending the Life of Your Tent
Repairing Bladders:
Exchanging Bladders
Any twists in the bladder will result in kinks in
the airbeam when you re-inflate. This will
require repeating this entire process, so it is best
to take your time and be sure the bladder is fed
into the tent with the valve oriented in the right
direction, without any twists.
Connect deflator to completely deflate the punctured airbeam.
NEMO AirSupported™ tents are designed to withstand all the
usual rigors of adventure. We worked hard to select materials
with the right balance of being lightweight and durable. If you
take reasonable care of your tent, you should never have a
problem. But, accidents do happen! If you have a puncture, the
next few steps will show you how to swap in a new bladder
and repair the damaged one to keep as a spare. Please read all
the steps first before beginning.
Never open access pockets when airbeam is inflated.
Repairing Bladder Punctures:
Make sure the area is dry and clean
Cover the hole with a generous piece of the self-adhesive patch
(TEAR-AID™) included in your repair kit.
Repairing small holes in a NEMO bladder is simple. If necessary, inflate
the bladder underwater to locate the puncture.
If the damage is larger than 1/8” in length or diameter, the repair may
not be reliable. Replacement bladders are available from your NEMO
retailer or from www.nemoequipment.com.
Open bladder access pockets. If the puncture is reachable, skip to
Repairing Bladder Punctures for TEAR-AID™ instructions.
Tie the new bladder to the end of the old bladder. It is important
as you pull the new bladder through that it does not twist. To
minimize twists, it may help to lay out the new bladder flat on the
ground with the valve oriented the right direction.
Once the valve is pushed back through its
Hypalon® hole and the access pockets have
been closed, re-inflate.
Pull the new bladder through and untie the old bladder.

Keep tent away from open flames or smoldering camp fires
Maintain adequate ventilation inside tent
Avoid campsites with danger of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning
strikes, flash floods, avalanches or other hazards
In extreme weather make sure all stakes and guy-outs are secure
Do not store food inside of tent
Store tent in a dark, dry area away from UV light
WARNINGS
In poor weather, Gogo™ can be inflated entirely from the inside. After
staking out the corners, get inside and take your time pumping up the
airbeam while staying dry. Remember to close all zippers to stay
completely dry.
1
When camping on rock or hard ground, where staking is not possible,
stash a few pieces of gear in the very front of your tent. Your body
weight in the bivy portion will counter this weight and keep the tent
taut.
On sunny days, roll back the entire ExoFly™ to expose as much mesh
ventilation as possible. To tie the doors back, put the cord locks through
their respective reflective webbing loops, and tighten the cord lock. For
privacy or shade, you can choose either half to tie-back or leave down.

Getting into Gogo™ is as easy as getting into your sleeping bag. When
you completely unzip the mesh canopy, you can tilt the airbeam
forward to facilitate getting into the tent opening.
3
FEATURES
To create an open vestibule, unhook the front anchor from its stake.
Press on the side release buckle to release the inner tent from the
ExoFly™. Now re-stake the tent, but this time use the metal ring on the
ExoFly™ instead of the one on the inner tent. Retract the inner tent to
create as much space as you need. You can clip and unclip from inside
the tent by reaching through the front mesh zipper.

Your Gogo™ stuff sack also works very well as a dry bag for other gear
when your tent is not inside. It is waterproof and can double as a pillow
when stuffed with your extra clothes.
10
The Gogo™ stuff sack is integrated into the tent to provide extra
storage and minimize extra weight. Use this pocket to store your pump
along with your headlamp, watch, glasses, or any other pieces of gear
you may want in an accessible place while you sleep.
8
Use a stick or other object to prop up the Gogo™ bivy end to keep the
tent shell off of your sleeping bag and allow more air circulation. The
unique Swallowtail design transforms the bivy end without needing
additional stakes or guy-outs.
7
Use the hook hanging from the center of the airbeam to clip your head
lamp for a convenient overhead light.
9
The ExoFly™ is a unique morphing vestibule that gives you the option
of opening space for wet and muddy gear or expanding the inner tent
to provide maximum enclosed sleeping room.
