The Nemo Morpho 1 does not use traditional metal or
fiberglass poles to erect the structure, rather it uses Airsupported
Technology airbeams. 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 Nemoid
Pump, airbeam inflation of the Morpho 1P is fast (less then 45 seconds)
and easy.
Pressurized air is an integral part of structures
from car tires to basketballs, from spacesuits to the massive Millennium
Arches building in Stockholm. AirSupported Technology™ is NEMO's
unique interpretation of inflatable structure for application in lightweight
backcountry shelters. The advantages of NEMO's AST™ compared
to traditional tent poles include faster and easier setup, greater
strength and wind resistance, smaller packing, the ability to bend
without breaking and easy repair in the field.
