I bought this for use with an REI Flash air pad and was surprised how easily and quickly (less than 45 seconds) the pump worked - which is also testament to the quality of the Flash pad. It takes up very little space/weight in a pack and keeps one from having to use moist breath to inflate an expensive air pad. I'm very happy I picked this up.
Bought in Dec, 2016 used on trip to Tortugas on an Big Agnes Insulated Air Core air mate with the screw out air valve and as told in store it would work using the adapter, well i can tell you DON'T waste your time using it. Neither of the 2 possible connectors would fit the Agnes valve snugly. Now if you have a stratus (only) i guess i would recommend it, but otherwise ITEM not compatible.
I bought this hand air pump thinking it would work with my Big Agnes Q-Core insulated pad. Well it does provide an adapter to fit the pad valve but doesn't hold it securely. It tried just holding the pump to the valve but just didn't work well enough. The tag on the pump said it was made specific for REI pads. I was tempted to jury-rig some sort of adapter but decided just to return it and get something that was designed for the Big Agnes pad instead.
I bought this to air up my Big Agnes sleeping pad. At first I was skeptical at the design, but it really worked well! Packs down small enough to not worry about the extra weight.
Very happy to have finally found a pump for both my BA Double Z mattress and S2S Aeros pillow. Works like a charm, with a side order of CPR training.
Disappointing. If you own a green Stratus Pad do not buy this product, it will not fit the valve.
i have a Nemo cosmo with built in pump and i love it. i recently got a Neom Tensor for backpacking , and i have been looking for a pump for it since i dont like blowing moist air from my lungs into a pad. iorder this pump and it works perfectly with my Nemo tensor . i even tried using the pad while inside my MSR hubba solo and was a able to inflate my pad inside. love this product hope REI doesn't discontinue this one.
Works well for inflating Therm-A-Rest pads that are suppose to self inflate but take what seems like forever when you are ready to "hit the sack." Lightweight and compact so doesn't add much to my backpack. Would have given it a 5 star but the plastic pulled apart at the end where the "neck" is secured. It was easy to fix using several dabs of super glue.
We have come a long way with air pumps and I think REI has nailed this one. I used it with the Stratus Sleeping Pad and could not be more pleased with it. It took about five minutes to inflate with the air pump. I would highly recommend both the Stratus Sleeping Pad Air Pump with the Stratus Sleeping Pad.
Great idea, but this would take forever to fill up a sleeping pad. I bought this on my way out to a hike, and carried it for a week. I only used it once, and within 5 minutes I gave up went back to the normal way.
I was worried about compatibility with my pad but am pleasantly surprised at how well it fits the valve and works to inflate. The price is great too.
It has the right adapter to work with the new Air Rail Plus mat's one way valve. This makes inflation so much more pleasant! With every dollar.
Bought this for my REI pad. It also works on my Exped pad and my Sea to Summit pillow. Packs nice and small.
A non needed item for backpacking made for sales. Try blowing it up with your lungs.
A great gadget that saved my lungs at hush altitude.

Will this work for a Nemo astro air lite 25l long sleeping pad?
Yes, this pump fits the Nemo Astro Lite sleeping pad.
