MIO ™
Sit-Height Superbivy
Mio™ represents a new line of NEMO sit-height superbivys. This tent is the
close cousin of NEMO’s Gogo™ tent, an ultralight AirSupported bivy. Mio’s™
airbeam is similar in shape to Gogo’s™ but ten inches taller, allowing you to
sit comfortably inside. Mio uses NEMO’s ExoFly™ vestibule design, which
allows the inner tent to be retracted when you need vestibule space, or
deployed when you want extra leg room and interior space. An overhead
vent at the apex of the tent promotes good air circulation. The Swallowtail
end of Mio™ can be propped up with a short stick to tension the tent above
your sleeping bag or simply left alone like a bivy. Includes Integrated Pump,
watertight stuff sack, stakes, repair kit. Optional Footprint is available.
1. AirSupported Technology®: NEMO’s airbeams
provide a high performance alternative to
traditional metal and fiberglass tent poles. Airbeams
are made of two layers: an outer layer provides the
shape, strength, and puncture resistance while a
thin, replaceable inner bladder holds the air. Using
the included Integrated Pump, airbeam inflation
of Mio™ is fast (less than 25 seconds) and easy.
Airbeams also make field repair much easier and
more reliable than with metal poles. NEMO AST™
stands up better to high winds, since there are no
poles to break, and can be packed into smaller,
more irregularly shaped spaces like the hull of a
kayak or panniers on a bike.
2. Setup from Inside: NEMO AirSupported
Technology® allows you to set up the tent from
the inside during bad weather. After staking out
your Mio™, get inside, and take your time pumping
up the airbeam while staying dry.
