Steps for Measuring Inflation Time:

  1. Please completely roll out your uninflated pad on a flat surface

2. Install your Alpenblow and place your battery bank next to the pad (please do not place on top)

3. Simultaneously plug in your power cable while starting your stopwatch so the time starts as the fan starts spinning

4. While waiting for your pad to fill, think about all the amazing places you’ll also be waiting for your pad to fill

5. When the pad gets close to full, you’ll see the pad start to “shrink” lengthwise as the height increases and more wrinkles form

6. Pause your stopwatch when the pad stops shrinking lengthwise. You will also likely hear the fan get slightly higher pitched as it spins faster since there’s no airflow to resist the blades.

7. If you don’t observe any movement, please just note the time when you hear the fan’s pitch begin rising.

8. Please submit your time as well as the model and size of your sleeping pad to tom@alpenglowgear.co
