Well, my Flextail Zero lasted 1.5 trips and has stopped working. Even with a fully charged battery it does nothing when I try to turn it on. So I get to test out their warranty. So far, they have asked for a couple of videos, which I have sent them.
Awesome review Troy! I'll oick up one of these for my next multi-day bikepacking race. I never considered the moldy inside of my mattresses, makes sense especially in the PNW where mold loves on everything!
I use something like this for my packraft. Slightly bigger than that. Works well but wasn't quite small enough to carry for a sleeping pad. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check this out!
Yes. Fenix lights has several options that use sn18650 Li-ion cell or 2﹡CR123A batteries. I have a Fenix PD35 light that I often-times use as a helmet light that works with two CR123A batteries. The BC221R bike light should also work with two CR123A batteries though I haven't tried that one. I use the BC26R which has a bigger battery.
Wow, this looks great.Especially when you are at elevation and having problems just breathing, much less blowing up your pad and getting lightheaded after a long day of riding. i'm going to try it out for sure! Thanks for the suggestion!
Less than 5% of the world knows what an inch is.
Sadly, I'm a stupid American. 😜 But a good reminder to include metric values.
Come here and I'll show you what an inch is.
Yes. But everyone knows how to use google to convert to metric. Another wonderful invention from America.
ordered 2. threads are trash.
The threads are definitely crunchy. 🙁
@@TroyOnTrails If you know of anyone that works in a machine shop. I put a drop of Cool Tool ll Cutting and Tapping Fluid at work. it helps alot.

Hopefully it's an isolated incident and their warranty takes care of you.

Awesome. Being able to multi-task while inflating your pad and in race mode is spectacular.
Thanks for the review and things to consider.
You bet. And thanks for watching.
Even easier to get a mat that has the sponge pump fitted onto it
Easier yes. But bigger and heavier.

Yeah. This thing is tiny. It wouldn't work well for a raft but it sure is awesome for a sleeping pad.
Thank you very much for this information.
You are very welcome
Hi Troy! Thanks for the informative video!
You bet! Many more to come.
I'm wondering if there are other devices that can take the same battery? Lights or ?

I use a Nitecore MT10C flashlight of 950 lumens that uses an 18350.
1500 mah batts are easy to find.
