Product Description
Designed to give both you and your sleeping pad a break after a long day of hiking or traveling, the Klymit Rapid air pump helps extend the life of your pads by reducing interior condensation caused by breathing. To use the pump, just attach the valve to your pad, shake the bag to capture air inside it, and begin to roll the bag down toward the valve Read More
I am using Neo-air but I made a nice inflator (from Youtube) out of a Reynolds oven bag- turkey size and a one and a half inch long piece of plastic tubing from the hardware store. The tubing size just needs to slide over the valve. Put the corner of the bag through the tubing, nip off the end, roll the edge back over the outside of the tubing half way and secure with electrical tape. Tiny, light. cheap.
Well just got the bag, not impressed at all. To small, which means to much work. It’s also a single use item in your pack. I adapted the exped schnozzel which blows up my klymit pad in two efforts and doubles as a water proof bag for my quilt.
AT2020is the exped schnozzel adapter too small for the klymit pad? I purchased this pad too and am looking for a similar pump but I don't want to purchase 2 pumps because one doesn't work and one doesn't fit. I would like to try to just find one pump that fits this pad! Any recommendations?
jsielskiHi, the klymit airsack is way to small for any practical use. However it does come in two styles, one for klymit pads that have a nipple type valve and the other is a flat female valve. Sounds like you have the flat valve. I like the snozel air bag. It’s large and easy to use. I took the klymit air sack, cut the male valve off and attached to the snozel. Works great. I stuff my quilt in the snozel for added protection in my pack. Cheers
Agree with earlier comments that this bag is too long/narrow. It's fairly heavy too. Bought one from amazon a while ago and returned it. I ended up just using the sack that came with my exped pad. The valve is slightly bigger on that one, but a couple rubber bands did the trick.
ascii27Yeah I just learned that the hard way. Looks like my brother might be getting it. He has some other Klymit pads it may work with. However he is far too ultralight to carry the extra 3.5 ounces. Waste of money!
I have 2 type of valve on my Klymit pad. One is the push-pull type and the other is a twisted type similar to thermarest. Is the blue inflator will work for the 2 type? All my Klymit pad came from Massdrop.
OnrouleThe flat valve bag will work on the new massdrop pad.
The original massdrop pad is not quite compatible. It'll work, but then you have to try and twist the valve shut without letting all the air out. On the standard klymit push pull valve, you can push it in to stop air from coming out, remove air bag and then cinch the valve down.
With the unique massdrop valve, half the air leaks out when you try to remove pump bag. Very frustrating.
Has anyone come up with a way to cap the valve on the bag? Then you could make the bag waterproof to use as a stuff sack.
I'm think of sewing a clip on either side of the end of the bag so I can roll it down and clip it shut. Looks like it would work well on that thick "material" on the edge of it.
Also thinking of cutting it off (in half, actually). I'm wondering if I could split both halves long way and iron them back together. Then it would be a shorter bag, but with more volume, like the schnozzle bag.
Anybody think that would work? I'm hoping it would work like how Danny Milks shortened the klymit pad.
Thanks for any help, comments.
