Schnozzel UL – UltralightPump Bag – For Exped Sleeping Mats

Exped flat valve sleeping mats can be inflated in a variety of ways, including blowing and pumping, but they all have drawbacks. Not with the Schnozzel Pumpbag! Damp breath can condense inside the mat and cause mould, and pumps always add precious grams to your pack load, but now comes Exped’s ingenious solution to all those problems. It’s a bag of wind – literally. Simply attach the nozzle to that of your Exped mat, ‘catch’ some air in the bag and roll it down hard, pushing the air into the mat. A regular Synmat 7 UL can be inflated in this way in under 3 pumps, under 20 seconds. What’s more, when not in use the pumpbag can double as an UL dry bag, meaning it effectively adds no weight at all to your pack. The medium is 42 litres and the large is 85 litres. Save weight, your lungs and prolong the life of your mat. You can even convert it into a shower! I told you it was ingenious.
