OUR STORY
It is our mission to support your nomadic lifestyle with the best gear. Nearby trips or faraway travels, whatever the conditions may be.
key pillars
In recent years, one thing has become clear: time spent outdoors matters. More people are choosing to explore, whether close to home or across borders, on foot or by bike, train, or car.
We believe that good equipment supports these experiences. Our mission is to equip a life of movement with reliable gear that performs in different environments and conditions, near or far.
For more than 48 years, we have focused on designing products that are lightweight, compact, and built to last. Our aim is to support a wide range of travelers and journeys, while encouraging people to keep exploring the world around them and to choose their own path.
Sustainability
Our journey towards becoming an increasingly sustainable brand is continuously evolving. Nature is our favorite playground and our greatest source of inspiration.
As a manufacturer of outdoor gear and wear, we see it as our utmost responsibility to treat and protect nature as best as we can. We believe that creating products that last is the most powerful way to minimize our impact.
Sustainability and social responsibility are therefore at the top of our list. We strive to produce our products in the most ethical and sustainable way possible, with respect for people and the environment.
A few ways we do that: we use recycled and recyclable material whenever we can, promote repair over replace, and invest in upcycling projects.
B Corp™ certified
As a certified B Corporation we are verified as meeting standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. A confirmation of how we have been operating for years: with respect for people, nature and the world we explore.
It requires us to continuously improve, with our impact regularly reassessed by an independent third party. So you know, when you choose NOMAD, you contribute to this global movement that is committed to people and the planet.

Design & comfort
Comfort - and thereby good design - is central to the design and production of every NOMAD® product. Comfort is perhaps the first thing you think of when you plan to go camping, especially if it's for the first time. After all, you want to be able to sleep well, just like at home. You might also value the carrying comfort of your bag or the best blister-preventing hiking socks for your walk.
These are all factors that we incorporate into our design process. Outdoor gear must be easy to use, comfortable to sit or lie in, and support you during your journey.
Therefore, comfort and design are important pillars for us.
Lightweight & compact
We are constantly searching for materials and techniques that can make your outdoor equipment as lightweight and compact as possible. Whether it's a family tent, a comfortable sleeping mat, or a warm sleeping bag, we aim to make it as easy as possible for you to carry and store your gear.
For this purpose, we use lightweight textiles such as nylon and polyester, lightweight 3D Polardown Lite® sleeping bag fillings, and lightweight aluminum tent poles.
With handy recycled compression 'stuffsacks', our products are easily stored compactly again.
For example, our Dogon LW family tent. A spacious tent that is easy to set up, it remains as lightweight as possible through the use of light aluminum tent poles and lightweight tent fabric. Or our Jade 2 Pro tent, which at just 1.5 kg can easily be carried in your backpack.
