Big Agnes Pumphouse Pad Pump

The Big Agnes Pumphouse Pad Pump performs quadruple-duty in the backcountry. Use the Pumphouse as a pump to inflate your sleeping mat, as a waterproof bag to keep your gear dry, as a pillow, and as a stuff sack. To inflate your sleeping pad, fit the Big Agnes Pumphouse's rubber nozzle over the inflater valve of your pad and compress the Pumphouse bag—voilà, you're set for a cozy night in camp. When you need to keep your gear dry, push the nozzle back inside the Pumphouse, and you've got a bomber drysack. Other uses? How about water carrier and backcountry shower? Go for it.

Bottom Line: Keep your gear dry, your sleeping mats firm, your head cushioned, and your gear stored with the Pumphouse Pad Pump.

no way, it actually works

I didn't think this could be a viable way to pump, but my girlfriend and i raced to fill our big agnes iron mountain sleeping pads. I blew mine up normally and she used the pump. it took me 11 breath fulls to fill up the pad in about 1 1/2 minutes. she filled her pad up in about twice that time with 13 "sack fulls" and two breaths to top it off. at the end my head hurt and hers didn't. I'm going to buy a second one for me! and you can never have enough water resistant sacks.

Hokey, but works well.

First opinion: hokey... couldn't possibly pump up a pad. Then I tried it.. Still hokey, but it works! It takes me an average of 12 'full bag' pumps to fill up a normal length pad. The process is: 1) attach end of bag to pad, 2) fluff open end of bag, 3) seal/roll bag until bag is 'firm', 4) press as much air out as you can, 5) roll again until firm, 6) press out rest of air, 7) unroll and repeat. I bought/compared this against the Exped pillow pump. The pillow pump gives you more of a feeling of pumping, but its more work. When you're tired after a long day hiking/paddeling (we used these in the BWCA), the BA bag/pump was 10% overall less work than the pillow/foam Exped pump.

helps a lot pumping up.

I find it very easy to pump up my pad with this pump. it is a little tricky to keep it open while you start to roll the top, but it's manageable. Also, when i bought this, i was afraid that the air would just blow back out since you cant get to the valve while the sack is one there, but it turned out that air hardly escapes anyway until that very last pump, and by then, your taking the sack off anyway. After that, it's one or two blows from your mouth to really firm it up and your set for a comfy night of sleep. My only (minor) dislike about this sack is that my BA Insulated Air Core 20x78 pad wont fit in it horizontally. but thats really not too big a deal.

Not a good pump

I have really had time believing any one could use this sack as a pump. Opening it every time to get air into it then sealling and compressing it is just a waist of time. Easier to just blow, cuz this thing doesn't.
