NEMO Resolve 25L Endless Promise Backpack
A pack that’s up for the challenge of any adventure, all day, the fully recyclable Resolve™ 25L daypack features a revolutionary set of NEMO-exclusive fabrics for an abrasion-resistant, water-resistant exterior and a groundbreaking foam alternative with excellent cushioning and wicking properties. Designed for a fine-tuned, active fit, Resolve includes wide straps that comfortably mold to the body and a spring steel internal frame to support heavier loads.
Beyond functionality and high performance, as part of our Endless Promise® collection, the Resolve series delivers a very distinct and essential advantage: It is designed to stay out of the landfill, forever. Durable, adjustable, and easily repairable, Endless Promise packs are intended to remain in use as long as possible — but when they do finally reach their limit, NEMO has taken responsibility for ensuring that they can be fully recycled.
This recyclability design challenge sparked two major material innovations. First, our new CERO™ fabric is woven from solution-dyed fibers, has a tear strength up to 3x higher than the industry standard, and is also up to 20x more water-resistant than other packs on the market — perfect for those unplanned downpours! It’s also made entirely of recycled (and recyclable) PET.
Likewise, instead of traditional unrecyclable foams for cushioning, we’ve introduced CCubed™, a recycled and recyclable material that avoids harmful off-gassing seen with EVAs. In addition, CCubed cushioning is 97% air which, unlike foam, allows it to quickly wick away sweat and help it evaporate. Body-mapped to your sweat zones, this results in a noticeably drier and cooler pack experience, even on hot summer days.
These two brand-new, high-performance materials are accompanied by the features you expect from an internal frame–supported pack — with a few surprises. Side pockets are adjustable to accommodate even the beefiest water bottle or an extra layer. A hidden security pocket keeps valuables stashed out of sight. And the removable compression system can be configured to the side or bottom of the pack to keep your load secure or enable additional items.
We expect Resolve to be on the trail for a long time, but when it’s taken its last trip, it can be sent back to NEMO for total recycling, preventing any further waste and enabling it to live on as new gear for the next adventurer.

Loved the Persist 45, so I bought the Resolve 25!
As the title explains, I bought the Persist 45 to hike the Presi Traverse and was blown away by the rugged quality plus the design features. The Resolve is no different in terms of attention to detail, and it is now my new "daily driver" of a daypack for hikes around the White Mountains. I dig how pockets "stow away" with snaps, and I also like how well the strap system adjusts for various torso lengths (not that I intend to share the pack, but I can recommend it to other people based on this). Often times "one size fits all" packs don't really come through on that. Separately, kudos to NEMO for using material that allows me to put patches on my pack with Badge Magic (don't sew!) - as I like to personalize my gear so nobody ganks it. Nice work NEMO!

Resolve Mens 25L Review
Overall, the pack is great. I am most excited about the water resistant material and construction to keep things dry. The side pockets are great and are able to be big and small for whatever is needed.

Best daypack I’ve ever owned!
This daypack is hands down the best, most comfortable pack I’ve owned! With the hip belt and load lifters, even without a heavy load, it bears almost no weight on my shoulders so it doesn’t wear my neck and shoulders out. Highly recommended!!!

Be Aware of Backcountry shipping
Purchased this backpack a week ago, selected 3-5 day shipping, which even with business days only has past. Still no backpack and found out Backcountry sent the backpack FedEx Smartpost Saver, which FedEx states can take up to 14 days to arrive. Crazy I should have ordered from Amazon and received it next day, not even two day in my area it states I will receive it next day. Why can’t Backcountry figure out there shipping this happened my last two orders from them. I don’t recommend Backcountry if you need an item by a certain date as they promise one shipping method and send your item a completely different method.

Resolve men’s 25L
I love the Nemo Resolve 25L. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy on the shoulders. I work in law enforcement, and carrying all my gear is much easier with this pack. The shoulder straps feel like air—super comfortable even during long hours. The entire backpack is thoughtfully designed, with every detail clearly made for real-world use.

MOST COMFORTABLE DAYPACK EVER
The perfect daypack for carrying a heavier load (almost 30 pounds) without discomfort. With its increased size, I was able to haul everything I needed on a once-in-a-lifetime hike at The Wave in Coyote Buttes, and it still felt incredibly comfortable—I barely noticed it was there. I was skeptical of the CCubed cushioning at first, but I have no doubts anymore. Built with tons of great features, it handled long-term use and serious weight like a champ. Easily one of the most reliable and well-designed packs I’ve ever owned.

Nice and versatile day pack!
I finally was able to try out this pack on a couple hikes in the WA cascades this past weekend and really loved it! The shoulder straps are very comfortable and I really like that the torso length can be adjusted which isn't super common on packs this size. The 25L fits quite a lot and is an excellent choice for a full day out on the trail. The included tension straps work well to cinch it down if you're not carrying as much. I have only used it in dry conditions so far, but I am excited to try it out in wetter weather and in the winter so see how well the outer shell repels water. If I had to change one thing specifically for the 25L, I would add padding to the hip belt and extend the portion with padding out a bit so there is more support when carrying more. Other than that I think it's a great pack and am happy with my purchase!

New favorite backpack
I’ve had this pack for a bit now and to say I’m impressed, is an understatement. This pack seem very well thought out! Everything from the materials, to the pocket size/placement, to the location of loops, to the zippers and buckles. Everything just… works. That’s all I want in a pack, one that works. This pack works really well, and I’m never left disappointed after using it! I highly recommend!

Great pack for hiking!
I have had the Men's Resolve 25L for almost 2 weeks now. I love the pack. Perfect for my needs. Will be using it during my half dome hike in a couple of weeks. The quality seems solid. I definitely recommend this pack!
