The pump sac makes filling my q-core SLX pads so much less of a burden. It’s so much faster, easier and keeps all of my humid breath out of the inside of the pad. Due to the fact that it can be used as the stuff sac it doesn’t really add much weight. I won’t go back packing without it.

Great Multi Use Item Which Is Perfect For Backpacking
For starters I want to say this is very useful and it works exactly as it's advertised to work. My issue with it is that I have a battery powered pump/lamp that only weighs 1 ounce more than this bag does. So if you're not planning on using it as a dry bag or to organize things in your pack, I would recommend just sticking with a battery powered pump and light. I did use it as a dry sack and it does make a good backup to the pump in the event the battery dies.

Awesome Utility As A Stuff Sack And A Pump For My Mat
Pretty big stuff sack. Its awesome that it doubles as a pump and that i dont need another piece of equipment to inflate my mat.

The Pads Come With A Pump Bag, But This Is Better.
I used it on the rapide sl and it was extremely functional and practical. It fills the large pad quickly without much fuss. And I like how it doubles as a nice sturdy dry bag.

Durable, Won't Get Toasty
I was invited to this comedy show last night, so I took a few friends along. Unfortunately, my friends got a little too toasty before the show. They were really loud and kept spilling beer all over the place. It wasn't awesome. The Pumphouse Ultra bag, on the other hand, is awesome. Just bought my second one. I bought my first one in 2019 and admittedly did not take good care of it. But it lasted. Unlike my friends last night.

Awesome
Works good. If you don't have a electric pump this is a must!

Worth It
This is a nice improvement over the inflation sack that comes with the pad. Plenty of room to stuff my Rapid, Sidewinder, a and pillow in it.

Great Multipurpose Drybag/pump
I used this for 4 weeks bike packing and it took the abuse of being out in the elements well. It kept my sleep system dry inside and worked GREAT for pumping up my Rapide SL sleeping pad. The dry bag has an inner liner that folds out to make the pumphouse really effective at inflating your pad. It probably took 4-5 pumps to inflate my full pad. That was great. Though when using the bag as a dry bag the grey inner liner would trap air in so it was harder to squeeze out all the air before rolling the top of the drybag and sealing it. This was a minor inconvenience. I really appreciated the dual purpose of this bag!

Lighter And Faster
My sleeping pad came with an inflation sack, but I read reviews that said that this would weigh less and inflate the pad more quickly. Yup and yup! Having the Pumphouse Ultra means I have more room in my bag for other gear and leaves me more time to enjoy camp. Because the valve is universal for other BA sleeping pads, I've been able to loan it to other campers in my group. I haven't had it long enough to speak to its durability. Because it is lighter, it is also thinner material so may not last me as long. And the one that came with the pad was from fabric scraps from sleeping pad manufacturing, which I appreciate (waste not, want not). At least I have that one as a spare in case this one gives up the ghost.

Great Dual Purpose Bag.
Works great with my Zoom UL 25x72. Take about 4-5 pumps. It doubles as my sleep system dry bag and holds my quilt, mattress, sleeping clothes and inflatable pillow. Wish it had been included with my Zoom.

Great But Should Come Standard
Product is great but should come with every sleeping pad because the ones that come with the pads are junk. I have had multiple pads from other companies and the come with a comparable sack to this one.

Great Multi-use Backpacking Item!
I use this as the dry bag for both my sleeping bag and pad while hiking, then use it to inflate the pad. It's very comparable (weight-wise) to other normal dry bags that can't help inflate the pad. I've also used it as a pillow at night a couple times. Lots of uses for it, which is awesome when backpacking.

Great Alternative!
This inflation bag is fantastic in that it only takes 4-5 fill ups to inflate a Q-core mattress. Easy to fill (just play the wind) and there's no concern about introducing breath born bacteria into your mattress. A winner!

Weight-saving Inflation System
Since this serves as a stuff sack a sleeping bag, it doesn't add much weight at all to your sleep system, and it does the job well...allows you to inflate your pad rapidly without going hypoxic!

Good Ul Pumpbag/stuff Sack
Pretty awesome wish it came with the pad I purchased instead of the low budget one it came with.
