Pad-Pal vs Flextail Zero Pump - Ultralight Pad Pump Showdown
We compare the FLEXTAIL ZERO PUMP with the Rex-Creations Pad-Pal sleeping pad pump. Both are relatively light options for inflating your sleeping pad. Note that the Pad-Pal needs an external power source (like a power bank), which most of us carry anyways. We used both pumps to inflate a Therm-a-rest NeoAir UberLite (REG size).

inflated our pad in 83 seconds
uses a 650 mAh rechargable battery (w/ USB C port)
