Flextail Tiny Pump 2X

Inflates a sleeping pad with less effort than using a stuff sack or your lungs! Total game changer! When charged the Flextail pump has never failed to operate. It's lightweight and small enough to fit pretty much anywhere in your pack or pocket. It weighs about as much as an energy bar. I have had it several years, I also have a backup. I was so impressed I bought two to give as polyannas last holiday season, and both people are still bringing them on every backpacking trip they go on. Full review

Flextail Tiny Pump 2X

Lightweight and effective option for quick inflation/deflation of air mattresses and other items. Over the years, with the advent of backpacking air mattresses, I have progressed from simply blowing earlier mattress designs up by mouth, to more recently using complementary air-pump bags that allow sizeable volumes of air to fill the mattress without the introducing moist blown air. Such bags are super light and tend to work well. However, due to their largish size such bags can be cumbersome, requiring… Full review

Flextail Tiny Pump 2X

This is currently Flextail’s lightest and smallest mattress inflator/light. Exactly what you want for backpacking, On the web I found out about backpacking mattress pumps. I decided to investigate and ended up buying this model—I checked out many others, but they were too big and heavy for my backpacking use. It arrived and I charged it up. When charged I inflated my Sea-to-Summit hiking single-person air mattress. It comes with 5 nozzles of different sizes. One fit perfectly. Next I tried the… Full review

Flextail Tiny Pump X

One of the dumbest purchases that I really like. I had an amazon gift card that I had to use and couldn't find anything, so I did this. I'm embarrassed that I have it. It is seriously one of the laziest things I've ever owned.  Youtube with Exped Synmat Duo - mainly to give you an idea of how loud it is. This inflation took 1min 50 as the battery was getting low. No, I didn't film the entire boring inflation, trust me it worked. It inflates our Klymit double pad in 1 minute and 40 seconds. A single… Full review

Therm-a-Rest BlockerLite Pump Sack

A simple and light dual-purpose dry bag and pump sack for the new Therm-a-Rest Winglock and Twinlock valve sleeping pads. Inflation of the pads is easy and the waterproof construction seems like it will hold up. The BlockerLite Pump Sack is only 20 liters, so it takes quite a few sacks of air to fill larger pads, and may not work on older valves or other brands, but overall it's a great match for new Therm-a-Rest mattresses. This is the initial review of the Therm-a-Rest BlockerLite Pump Sack after… Full review

Big Agnes Pad Coupler

The best of four different couplers that we have tried over the years. Won't slip or twist when rolling pads up together, and thin enough to keep the princess sleeping comfortably (at least when there aren't any peas around). A small review for a small thing! My wife and I still like to snuggle after all these years—she says it's in the marriage contract, but I guess I'd have to get out a magnifying glass to check the fine print on that. Anyway, to that end we've evolved a sleep system that (literally)… Full review

Exped Schnozzel Tube

OMG. What a crazy thing this is. While your friends are huffing and puffing to get their air pads blown up, you have been sitting on your air pad since their fifth breath because of the Schnozzel. Fill this tough bag up with air and squeeze it into the air pad. Two times and you are done. And you can use it as a stuff sack following the hike rule of multiple-use items. While your friends are almost dead from blowing up their air pads, you have used the Schnozzel two times and filled up your air… Full review

NEMO Cosmo Pillowtop

The Nemo Cosmo Pillowtop is an amazingly plush, luxuriously comfortable addition to your Nemo Cosmo series mattress pad. I recommend this product to anyone with a Cosmo series pad that wants to add serious comfort to their pad, or wants to adapt their pad to other uses besides backpacking. *Reviewer notes: I have already reviewed the Nemo Cosmo Air and Pillowtop 1P sleep system combo. This review is of the Nemo Cosmo Pillowtop 1P SE by itself, and is, basically, identical to my other review, but… Full review
