VAUDE Pump Sack for Sleeping Mats

The VAUDE Pump Sack for Sleeping Mats is a versatile outdoor accessory designed to simplify the inflation of sleeping pads while doubling as a functional storage solution. Measuring 400 mm by 720 mm and weighing only 89 g, this lightweight tool allows for quick and efficient inflation without the need for manual pumping or introducing moisture from your breath into the pad, which helps maintain the internal integrity of your sleeping equipment. Constructed from 100% recycled polyester with an environmentally friendly water-repellent finish, it provides a sustainable and durable solution for campers and hikers.

Advantages

This pump sack offers significant benefits by combining two essential functions into one compact item. By using the sack to inflate your sleeping mat, you prevent moisture buildup inside the pad, which significantly extends its lifespan. The material features an Eco Finish, which is free from harmful fluorocarbons and effectively repels water and dirt. Its lightweight design and small pack size make it an ideal addition to any backpack, ensuring you have both a reliable inflation system and a waterproof storage bag for your sleeping bag or other gear whenever needed.

Suitable for

• Inflating sleeping pads quickly and efficiently
• Storing sleeping bags or clothing as a waterproof dry bag
• Backpacking and camping trips where weight and space are critical

This product may not be suitable for users who prefer integrated pump systems or those who require a dedicated high-pressure pump for non-compatible valve types. While it is highly versatile, it is not intended for use as a heavy-duty dry bag for submersion or for carrying sharp, heavy equipment that could compromise the lightweight fabric.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 400 mm x 720 mm
• Weight: 89 g
• Volume: Approximately 30 liters
• Material: 100% recycled polyester
• Finish: PFC-free water-repellent treatment

To use the VAUDE Pump Sack, simply attach the valve end to your sleeping pad's intake. Open the wide end of the sack to capture air, roll the top down to compress the air into the pad, and repeat the process until the mat reaches your desired firmness. When used as a dry bag, place your gear inside, roll the top closure at least three times, and secure the buckle to create a water-resistant seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the compatibility of your sleeping pad valve with standard pump sack systems
• Ensure the 30-liter capacity meets your specific gear storage requirements
• Consider that the water-repellent finish may require periodic re-treatment to maintain optimal performance

For best results, ensure the valve connection is secure before inflating and always roll the top closure tightly to maintain the waterproof integrity of the bag when used for storage.
