nice idea, but £30 seems a bit steep. i just watched a youtube clip of it and it sounds like an airbus taking off (well it would be out in the wild) :D
i quite fancy trying a MYOG copy of the TAR pump sack out of an adapter 'piece' and a drybag combo... hmmm, project for the weekend!

Having been underwhelmed inflating my xtherm with the standard sack I bought the 40l pump sack and it inflates it waaaay quicker. I'd have been tempted by the gadgety ness of this had I known about it though. Having said that, it's a bit single purpose though.

[ScotRoutes]

Is anyone really having problems inflating their bag orally or is this just about minimising moisture content?

[johnnystorm]

Yeah, mine inflates fine with me blowing into it but I'm worried ill fill it with mould & scupper the warmth rating. The standard pump sack is worse than useless. Having said that, I think you're easily tempted into putting too much air into them.

I wouldn't be happy carrying something as single purpose as that when i'm already carrying my lungs which will do the job, even if you it does make you feel a bit :?

Just a slight aside ... has anyone else noticed moisture in their mat even when blowing it up with a pump bag, etc.

A couple of times last week I noticed condensation on the inside of my Synmat even though I'd used Expeds bag to inflate it. I suppose that even 'dry' air contains enough moisture to condense given the right conditions which are just what a mat experiences when it's sandwiched between a warm body and the cold ground.

I made my own pumpbag/schnozzel for the exped synmat using a washing machine hose connector and a 40l bin bag - it only takes 3 fills of the pumpbag to blow up the airbed - not bad for a cost of about £2 and it weighs next to nothing 8-)

I'm not sure of the exact diameter but I think the hose connector I had was the same as this :

Yetiman's synmat does the same thing. I could see moisture in the head and foot areas the morning after a bivi.
Not noticed it in my downmat but that's made of a less see through material.

I use "The Instaflator" that I picked up cheaply on Ebay.

It weighs next to nothing and doesn't put any moisture into my Neo. It even rolls up with it and both together fit in the Neo's bag

I'm not sure if this was the company I used, but it's avaliable here

Yeah - that was where I got the idea for the myog version I mentioned above.
