The Full Review
Boy do I love my Schnozzel Pumpbag! This thing is so versatile. I've used it to inflate my Exped Synmat Lite 5M sleeping mat. It takes 1.5 compressions to fully inflate it. When you're not using it for inflation, use it as a drybag. This ripstop nylon bag is coated in silicone (1500mm) and easily converts into an outdoor shower- just get yourself the shower schnozzel attachment extra from exped. Oh, and did I say the pumpbag folds up to virtually nothing? Yes it does! So worth it.
The Good:
- Lightweight
- Can be used for inflation, as a dry bag and also converts into shower
- Easy snap attachment
- Well made
- 5 year warranty
The Bad:
- Haven't found anything yet, just make sure the bag isn't twisting around the attachment valve blocking the air flow.
The Bottom Line:
You need it.
