This little sleeping pad inflator is 6x less weight than the next lightest option. How is this possible? The Pad-Pal connects to your power bank via USB-C!
The Pad-Pal is a minimalist electric sleeping pad inflator designed to handle about 95% of the inflation, leaving the last few puffs for the user to achieve their desired firmness. While it's perfect for ultralight hikers who wouldn’t normally carry an electric inflator, hikers accustomed to current inflators on the market should note that the Pad-Pal is louder and more fragile than it's competitors. The trade-offs of ultralight!
Did we mention it doubles as an ultralight fan? :)
Features:
- 4-speed modes ranging from slowest and quietest to fastest and loudest
- Can be attached to deflate as well as inflate
- Comes with attachable adapters for most commonly used ultralight pads. All adapters are included!
- Water-resistant. Can handle small amounts of splashes and short exposure to rain
- The V5.2 uses a brushless motor. In controlled testing, it's found to last 1,800 inflation cycles
- Inflates a typical sleeping pad in 40 to 60+ seconds depending on your pad, elevation, temperature, and other factors
- Cord and power bank not included
*FAQ: How does it compare to the Alpenblow Micro Inflator? Both are great pad inflators and both weigh about the same! The Pad-Pal has 4 speed settings and will inflate your sleeping pad in 40-60 seconds. While faster than the Alpenblow, it is noticeably louder.

Dimensions: 1.78" x 1.43" x 0.68"
Weight: 0.32oz | 9g (includes adaptor weight)
Power Consumption:
-
- 0.4 amps in mode 1
- 0.86 amps in mode 2
- 1.75 amps in mode 3
- 2.6 amps in mode 4
- Note: The Pad-Pal uses 30 mAh to inflate a Thermarest NeoAir Uberlite (size regular) sleeping pad on mode 4 (loudest and most inefficient), or 150 mWh. That's about 250 inflations from a 10,000 mAh battery bank. If you inflate once a day, after a week it will consume 2.7% of charge from a 10,000 mAh battery bank.
- On the low mode the sound is 50-54 decibels. On high it is 70-76 decibels. There is some variance in sound due to propeller imbalance.
