Big Difference
Can tell they added extra thickness from the previous version(s). Major difference to the sleep. Wasn’t disappointed I did the upgrade. Not, At, All!

Comfy and quiet
I have 5 pads now, and this is the one I take with me the majority of the time unless I’m snow camping. It’s comfortable, quiet, warm and lightweight. What’s not to like? The valve-there are way better designs- this one is bulky and awkward, esp when packing for the next leg of the journey. None of my mini blowup accessories fit it exactly so you have to lay down beside it and hold on for dear life. I hope all the air gets in before you run out of battery power. No, I don’t carry the blow up sack, it’s just dumb. Overall a big thumbs up.

Brushtail Possum Beanie
This is without doubt the warmest beanie l have ever had on my head in still air. Kept me toasty in sub zero. I’ve recommended it and Zpacks to several friends.

These are absolutely the warmest socks. I take them backpacking to put on when I get into camp and they keep my feet toasty.

Excellent! I have the worst circulation and have tried literally every glove and mitten on the market. My hands and fingertips freeze within a few minutes of being in the cold wether it's mild or below zero. These gloves keep my fingertips warm! I do not have to wear anything else.

Flextail Zero Pump w/ USB-C Battery
The Flextail Zero Sleeping Pad Pump is a game-changer for backpackers! Say goodbye to the chore of manually blowing up your sleeping pad and prevent moisture and mold from building up in your pad.
We know that in the world of backpacking, every ounce counts, and every inch matters. That's why Zero Pump is crafted to be the lightest and tiniest outdoor pump out there, designed to trim down the weight of your pack and swiftly inflate your sleeping pad.
This bad boy is smaller than a Snickers bar, with a packed weight around 2 ounces including the 1.2 oz pump itself plus the included USB-C rechargeable battery, and a nozzle to fit your specific sleeping pad.
The Flextail measures a compact 1" x 3" (about 2.5 x 7.5 cm). Yup, you heard it right – smaller than your favorite candy! Say goodbye to bulky gear hogging up space in your backpack, Zero Pump has got your back!
Zpacks Inflatable Pillow
Pillow was lightweight and perfect height. A good option for a lightweight pillow.
– Linda M., ★★★★★
Relax after a long day of adventure with our inflatable pillow. Designed for ultralight hikers looking to save weight without compromising comfort, our pillow inflates with only a breath or two and features a comfortable crescent shape perfect for back and side sleepers alike.
*This Item is Non-Returnable if Removed from Packaging*
Sleeping Pad Strap
NOTE: This item is a single strap. Make sure to order at least two straps! Three straps are nice for full length pads.
Used them with my significant other in the [Smokeys] last month and it is so nice to keep the pads from sliding apart and staying cozy. Simple and light design. Would recommend for couples who want to stay close at night.
– Corey S., ★★★★★
Snuggling up next to your partner makes a cold night on the trail better, until your sleeping pads begin to slide apart. Use two or more of these sleeping pad straps to keep a pair of sleeping pads lashed together side by side.
Sleeping Pad Slide Stopper Set
One "Set" includes two straps, each consisting of a pair Stick on Springless Cord Locks and a 26" (66 cm) length of shock cord which will stretch to fit standard or wide sleeping pads. The shock cord can be cinched snug.
The Sleeping Pad Slide Stoppers easily stick to your desire position on your DCF tent floor. For the best results, attach one strap around where you shoulders typically rest on your pad, and the other strap where your hips rest. Slide your pad under both shock cords and then tighten the cords accordingly.
If you are securing two pads side by side with two sets, offset the patches lengthwise so that the pads sit snug beside each other.
The adhesive on these patches sticks well to the Dyneema Composit Fabric tent floors in all Zpacks tents. It may stick OK to polyurethane coated tent floors. The patches can be carefully peeled off if you decide to remove them later.
Merino Wool Sleeping Bag Liner
Keep your sleeping bag clean on those extended adventures with our 100% natural and renewable Merino Wool Sleeping Bag Liner. Made with Gostwyck Ultrafine Merino, the liner provides unparalleled next-to-skin softness.
Super breathable and moisture wicking, our liners are great for keeping that funk out of your bag. They are also perfect for an extra level of protection when staying in hotels, hostels, or refuges along the Tour du Mont Blanc or Camino.
Sleeping Bag Storage Sack
This large cotton bag is the perfect at home storage solution for ultralight sleeping bags and quilts! It is breathable and ensures your sleeping bag is not over-compressed. Stuff your bag loosely inside, hang it up in your closet, and you're good to go.
*The bag is not waterproof and is not intended to be used as a pack liner or a storage sack while on trail. Our quilts and sleeping bags include a waterproof dry bag for on trail use.
Imported.
Medium Pillow Dry Bag
Slept great this past weekend using it for the first time. I really like being able to control the firmness of the pillow by using the desired amount of extra clothing I’m carrying. And it’s a great waterproof stuff sack!
– Todd L., ★★★★★
We merged the comfort of a pillow with the utility of a dry sack to form this Medium Pillow. Identical in size to the Medium Dry Bag, our Medium Pillow features soft micro fleece sewn to one half of the interior. Simply flip the dry bag inside out (as shown) and fill it with your spare clothes and gear to use as a pillow!
Need a different size? Check out the Medium-Plus Pillow or the rest of our Dry Bag collection.
