Alpenglow Gear - Alpenblow Micro Inflator

Weighing less than two nickels, the Alpenblow is an ultralight luxury item. This micro inflator takes about 3 minutes to quietly inflate your sleeping pad, sipping power directly from your phone or power bank. Inflating a typical sleeping pad will use <1% of an iPhone’s battery capacity. Each Alpenblow ships with multiple nozzles to support a variety of sleeping pad valves.

Specs:

• Weight: 8.02 grams (0.28oz)
• Energy Usage: 18 mAh @ 5V
• Noise Level: 42 dBA (similar to a moderate rainfall)
• Included Nozzles: Therm-a-Rest (WingLock), NEMO (Laylow), Big Agnes, Sea-to-Summit, and EXPED. More nozzles sold separately!

Additional Notes on Power and Pressure:

To power your Alpenblow with your phone, it must use the USB-C standard, which includes most Androids and recent iPhones (15 & onward). Any power bank with a 5V output is also suitable.

Inflating a regular-sized pad will consume 0.75% of an iPhone 15’s battery, or 0.25% of a NiteCore NB10000’s capacity.

Although the inflated pad will appear rigid, during testing most hikers preferred a mattress firmness that required an extra breath or two. This device is intended for backcountry sleeping pads and will struggle to inflate kayaks, rafts, and oversized mattresses.
