How to Make Cheap Pump Sack For Inflatable Mat Like Therma-a-rest NeoAir Xlite For Almost Nothing
In this video I use dry bag and bottle cap to make inexpensive pump sack for inflating my Thermarest NeoAir Xlite. I also make a small cap that converts it into a camp shower.
Tired and dizzy from blowing up your #NeoAir mat every night? Getting mold from your breath growing on the inside of the mat? Maybe you need a pump sack. #Therm-a-rest and few other companies make them but they are either pricey (~40$) or battery operated which adds weight to your kit. They are also not much more than a dry bag with a valve. I use one of my old dry bags and plastic bottle neck with cap to make both air pump and a camp shower. When not used as a pump the bag can still be used to haul your stuff.
The mat is Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xlite regular size
The YELLOW bag is 8L dry bag. - 13-15 repetitions
The RED bag is ~35L backpack insert - 4-6 repetitions

    If you use microfiber, can you make a buffle box model?

    • @markomm5571
      @markomm5571 5 днів тому

      I would think so but depends how warm you want it. I would do it larger buffles though as microfiber will not cling together as down does an will stay spread I made one for summer, super light 400g and not too warm but for summer or when travelling. Opens like a blanked too. Anyways, fibre is in a roll and stays together nicely, so I sew together from top to bottom in only few spots . If you plan on making warm bag i would not stitch through though and make buffles

    I suspected these were how baffles were done but thank you so much for showing clearly! I also purchased some ripstop from a local fabric store for wanting to use a spare down blanket (75% down fill) to make a bag but I was worried I wouldn't like the look of being able to see the feathers through the yellow ripstop. Any cons to lining it with cotton or suggestions for material? It's pretty darn see through. I have a darker color coming soon from RBTR.

    Hi! Excellent video and build. A couple questions. First, did you use a straight-stitch to sew your baffles to inner/outer fabrics? You never mention what stitch you use, but looking closely at the video it appears it could be a narrow zig-zag perhaps. Second, what is the brand of the fabric glue you used. Just asking as I dont want what I choose to gum up my needle or feed dogs.

      what do you mean in 3D? I did put like 3 lines I think. And , no cold spot in this one as I added more down to prevent it. Remember you stitch it together while bag is inside out and once turn out the layers overlap and it is quite cozy. Hope this helps

    Yes, a zipper baffle is absolutely essential. Even if you'd have forgotten, it would be quite easy to have added one after. It wouldn't need to be attached to both the inner and outer fabrics. Just sewing a 'sausage' along one zip would be fine. Most manufacturers just do it that way.

    Thanks for sharing. I noticed on the parallel stitches (reinforcing stitches), you go back and forth, left to right. This creates tension in the fabric, resulting in wrinkles. If you stitch in one direction only, the result is smoother and have less wear. A bit more work but worth doing.
