Nemo’s new proprietary OSMO fabric has four times the water repellency, three times less stretch when wet, and uses 100% recycled yarns with zero PFCs or fire-retardant chemicals. See more here…

Designed and produced by Nemo, the new OSMO fabric meets top performance and sustainability factors and will be available in two variations, a backpacking-weight fabric and an ultralight fabric. OSMO is made from recycled polyester and nylon yarns and backed with a polyurethane coating for waterproofness. The blend of nylon and polyester isn’t common in a tent fabric, and according to Nemo, it offers the best of both fabrics in terms of durability, weight, stretch, and water absorption. This also allows them to avoid using traditional (and potentially harmful) chemical waterproofing coatings like PFCs or PFAS.
