thanks for the review it looks like a great bit of kit especially keeping mould from growing in a sleep pad (they aren't cheap) and added bonus of a light/lantern and i guess could be used as a cooling fan in summer, keep up the great honest reviews andy 🤪

I've got one, I found it a bit fiddly first time with a Thermarest pad, but maybe that's partly because I can never quite remember which way round I have to have the airlock thing twisted on the pad itself, and which end of the pump inflates vs deflates. If you get those things right though, it does save time and effort compared to the pump sack, and I liked hanging it up as a lantern in my stupidly small tent later on. The main downside I found was the noise, but that's probably not something which would bother you if you're not trying to be stealthy.

Can see that these pumps are useful but i am settled on the pump sacs tbh, cheap and a bag will last for as long a you want to use it

Bought a Big Agnes air pad and non of the attachments really fit so I did the same and just held it up to the hole with the flexible attachment

It’s not ideal, but it works for me too. The new Flextail Gear Zero Pump has one specifically for BA. I use that too but I still use the 2x and it doesn’t bother me the fit isn’t perfect.
