I had never seen a pump sack until today when one came in my REI Helix. I’ve now used it several times to inflate the air mattress and it’s a joke. What a terrible way to try to blow something up. There are so many feather weight pumps on the market that work better, but without one I’ll just use my mouth.

Thank you that's very useful information

I dont rate pump sacks, even after a 16-20 mile hike id rather just blow the matt up with my mouth it requires so much less physcial effort, the only advantage to the sack is you can overinflate a little but in my experience that just results in a higher chance of punctures
