Pump sack included – The XLite NXT comes with a pump sack, so it can be inflated quickly and easily without having to blow your moist tuna wrap/Mountain House meal breath into the pad. Not only does this save you energy, it also helps to preserve the inner workings of your sleeping pad.
Moisture from your breath can collect inside to form droplets. With no real way for that moisture to escape efficiently, mold and mildew can build up inside your pad over time and degrade the insulation film.
While the design of the included pump sack is a little lackluster compared to some others (we’ll talk more about that in the CONS section), it gets the job done.
