I'd say the X2 is the best option, which is what I have.

https://www.flextail.com/products/tiny-pump-2x

Used for 14 nights of mat inflation in Scotland and as a light (albeit not much as it didn't really get dark) and still had charge left. Works really well as a pump and the light is surprisingly useful as a light when not so far north mid-summer.

I've got the X2 too. It's got the same flow rate as the Zero, which seems to be plenty adequate for inflating a sleep mat. I think the Max Pump 3 would probably be overkill unless you're pack-rafting.

I've been using the zero all year and only charged it once in 12 bivvies. Inflates a neo air in about a minute.

+1 for the zero (I've got a headtorch that doubles as a lantern so don't need the extra light), and was also impressed by the battery that charges via USB C.

Thanks all! Going to treat myself to a NeoAir XLite NXT as well...

If it helps, I went with the Tiny Pump 2X.
It makes a nice lantern in your tent as well which is why I choose that one. I find it a nicer light than using a headtorch so it means I don't take that so actually saves space/weight?
Size is still small, battery lasts a long time and it is a pretty good pump. I can pump up my packraft 3 times on a charge. USB-C is nice too.

They are cheaper on Amazon than from their own website.

Just tried to buy a pump off the https://www.flextail.com/ site, which caused my bank to decline the transaction and freeze my card. Where did you all buy them from...? Cheaperer direct with FLEX10, than off ULOG or Amazon.

I just got mine from Amazon

Just bought one off ULOG, I remembered I needed some down booties anyway...

Old post, but what's this about a USB-C battery?

Edit - On the subject of air pumps, do these things actually work?

Everything in me says that they're too small / would need far more battery capacity than the size would allow... but yet the reviews always seem to be positive?

Charging is done by plugging a usb-c cable directly into the battery (which looks exactly like a typical battery!) Never seen it done before. As seen here ... USB-c port at top ... https://www.flextail.com/products/zero-battery-650cht

That's pretty cool, thanks.

I guess the capacity would be a bit lower than the equiv sized non rechargeable... but then you're not really going to find one of that sort in the ass end of nowhere.
