About this deal

Water Bottles and Flasks Some would say that Water is the most important thing when it comes to being out in the wild for any period of time. There are many methods of collecting, purifying and carrying water in the field and its important that you choose the right gear for the type of outing that you are doing – Depending on load-carrying if you are on foot or in a vehicle and many other factors. Here at Wood to Water, we have a wide range of purifying, collecting and carrying water. All the equipment we have chosen is tried and tested by our team.

Also note that the battery in the Zero pump has a maximum capacity of 650mAh, whereas the 2X has a 1,200mAh battery. Carrying Whether you are doing a short day walk or you are looking to do a longer expedition for a few days, the load carrying kit that you use to transport all your other gear can be the difference between making it to the end and cutting your trip short. Read More One of the most important abilities for any portable electric air pump is the being able to inflate an air mattress.The bundle also includes a protective silicon sleeve, a protective case and a mushroom-shaped light diffuser. The max pressure output is a little higher on the 2X model. Instead of 3.5 kPA it can get up to 4 kPa.

One being that Flextail is being overly optimistic about the battery capacity for the Tiny Pump 2X, or the light isn’t 400 lumens strong. The zero’s real weight to match the X2 is 77.8g. Therefore the real weight difference is a mere 0.64oz/18.2g (96g-77.8). And since the power of inflation (Kpa) is much lower (2.5Kpa vs 4.0Kpa) you’ll still have to use “lung power”. The zero would be a better choice IF the Kpa was the same, but it’s not. It’s almost 50% less and you’ll still have to use your lungs to inflate your pad. It won’t be much IF you’re using a short mummy-shaped pad. But it’ll be a hell of a difference if you’re using a regular rectangular pad. Now, imagine a LONG, RECTANGULAR pad… The zero is no match for those. While these claims will vary by mattress type, the Flextail Tiny Pump 2x is capable of inflating an air mattress up to 40x on a battery charge. Consider you will likely use it to deflate as well which would halve that number, even at 20x it’s an item that should require minimum attention to needing a recharge unless you’re on a long trip. Even though the flow rate is the same, the 2X is going to be a little faster and better at inflation and deflation.

What I’d change

Being able to inflate the mat all the way is important to me because I don’t want to bring out the manual pump to finish the job. No, this is a low pressure electric air pump. It’s not meant to fill anything that requires pressures past 4 kPa (0.58 PSI). Top it off in your car, use a small portable solar panel, plug it into your portable power station, use the wall charger for your phone. The Flextail range of pumps will work with the following brands:- Thermarest, Exped, Rab, Sea to Summit, Mountain Equipment & Montbell. Not compatible with Nemo & Klymit A Three-in-one compact air pump that efficiently inflates and deflates your sleeping pad. The Flextail Tiny Pump 2X is also a camp lantern with three brightness settings. Flextail says:
