AlpenGlow Gear Alpenblow Micro Inflator

AlpenGlow Gear Alpenblow Micro Inflator

Meet the Alpenblow, an ultra-compact micro pump that weighs less than a two-euro coin—just 8 grams! This luxurious backpacking essential quietly and efficiently inflates your sleeping pad in about three minutes. Powered by your phone or power bank, it uses minimal energy: inflating a typical sleeping pad consumes less than 1% of an iPhone 15’s battery.

Specifications (using a NeoAir XLite pad):

• Weight: 8.02 grams
• Energy Usage: 18 mAh @ 5V
• Noise Level: 42 dBA (similar to average rainfall)

Included Adapters:
Alpenblow comes with a variety of nozzles compatible with popular sleeping pad valves, such as Therm-a-Rest (WingLock), NEMO (Laylow), Big Agnes, Sea-to-Summit, ZenBivy, and EXPED. Additional nozzles are available separately.

Power Compatibility:

• Works with USB-C-enabled smartphones, including most Android devices and newer iPhones (15 and later).
• Compatible with all 5V-output power banks.

Energy Efficiency:
Inflating a standard sleeping pad:

• Uses just 0.75% of an iPhone 15 battery or 0.25% of a NiteCore NB10000 power bank.
  For personalized comfort, a few extra breaths may be needed to achieve your ideal firmness.

Key Details:

• Inflation only: Designed exclusively for inflating sleeping pads.
• Not suitable for large mattresses, rafts, or canoes.
• Airflow: Non-laminar, making it unsuitable for fire-starting or cooling purposes.

The Story Behind Alpenblow:
“Alpenglow” refers to the rosy light of sunsets reflecting off mountain peaks. Founded in 2023 by Gadget, a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiker, Alpenglow Gear is dedicated to creating gear that makes adventurers’ journeys easier. While the Alpenblow won’t speed up your hike, it’ll save your tired lungs every evening, letting you rest better for the miles ahead.

Valve Expansion Pack

Blow new life into your old pad! This 2-pack has adapters for:

• Legacy Therm-A-Rest Classic Valves
• Legacy NEMO push-pull Valve
• Klymit valve (rotating ball)

Note: For Klymit pads, the Alpenblow works best if the ball is turned halfway between inflate & deflate. Once you’re done inflating, rotate the valve shut from the back of the pad and remove the Alpenblow!
