Exped Schnozzel Pumpbag UL

A really lightweight bit of kit that works well - once you acquire the knack of capturing a bag full of air!

After buying the ExPed blow up mats and having to blow it up by mouth I decided to invest in this product and I am pleased that I did. It has a dual purpose of a) being able to blow up the mat with the valve being lockable to the mat and the more I use it the quicker and experienced I will get; and b) it makes a great waterproof stuff sac to put my clothes in in the bike panniers when out and about. The material is very light and strong but possibly a bit pricey but overall. I am pleased I did buy this for my synmats.

Well worth the purchase. It made inflating the mat simple. I watched the videos for this product and thought they were exaggerating when they inflated it in 4 goes - I actually managed to do this myself. I cant image the hassle of attempting it without one now.

The Schnozzel makes life a lot easier when inflating mats (blowing up a mat by mouth is a tedious process) and is also a very good, ultralight, dry bag with a huge volume. The only downside to this product is the price. . . . . . . . . . a tad high.

An ingenious idea that actually works! The bag is massive and could be used on its own as a stuff sac , collecting the air or rather getting a full bag of air looks simple enough on the manufacturers website but in practice requires a little patience and practice but all siad and done it does what its supposed to without filling your mattress with moist air
