The Flextail Zero Pump is a revolutionary compact air pump engineered for modern backpackers, hikers, and outdoor adventurers who demand performance without the bulk. Weighing just 34g without the battery, this pocket-sized device is smaller than a standard Snickers bar—making it one of the lightest and most space-efficient inflatables solutions on the market. Designed with ultralight principles in mind, it’s ideal for long-distance hikes across the UK’s rugged terrain, from the Lake District to the Scottish Highlands, where every gram counts.
At the heart of the Flextail Zero Pump is patented AIRVORTECH™ Technology 2.0, a next-generation micro-motor system that delivers rapid inflation with minimal effort. In just 50 seconds, you can fully inflate a standard sleeping pad—no more manual pumping or frustration at dusk. The pump operates at a powerful 180 litres per minute, ensuring fast setup even in cold or challenging conditions. With a maximum pressure of 2.5kPa, it’s perfectly calibrated for inflatable sleeping pads and other low-pressure gear, providing a comfortable, supportive night’s rest without risk of overinflation.
What sets this pump apart is its remarkable versatility. Beyond inflating sleeping pads, it doubles as a vacuum bag deflator—perfect for compressing clothing and gear to save valuable space in your backpack. It also functions as an emergency fire-starting tool: the high-velocity airflow can be used to ignite a small flame in a controlled, safe manner when used with the right tinder, making it a valuable addition to your survival kit.
The pump is compatible with a wide range of leading inflatable brands, including Therm-a-Rest, Klymit, Nemo, Sea to Summit, Big Agnes, and Exped. This is made possible through the included set of six multi-purpose soft rubber nozzles, each designed to fit securely and prevent leaks during inflation or deflation. The soft rubber construction ensures a snug fit on various pad connectors, reducing the risk of damage to delicate valve systems.
For convenience and extended use, the Flextail Zero Pump comes with a 650mAh rechargeable battery that supports USB-C charging—standard across most modern devices. A full charge provides up to 25 minutes of continuous operation, enough to inflate multiple pads or perform several deflation cycles. The pump also features a hands-free operation mode: simply double-click to start, and it runs automatically until complete.
