Description
Do you know this kind of person? I have a relative who never gives me what I wish for; instead, he finds a "better alternative". So when I wished for a Thermarest low-weight pump for my inflatable Thermarest hiking mattress, he gave me an Exped pump (that also works as a camp light and power bank (i.e., weighs three times as much for options I don't need))! It should fit a Thermarest winglock valve but do so by adding a rubber tube that is a struggle to put on and will disappear halfway through your hike, rendering the pump useless.
Luckily, 3D printers exist, so I designed a converter that fits snugly in the pump and over the valve. It's so snug that it can stay on the valve if needed.
