The Exped Mega Pump takes the effort out of setting up camp and packing it down again. It’s designed with base camp comfort in mind, not minimalism.
Exped says:
Mega Pump is a powerful rechargeable pump for inflation and deflation, making setup and takedown of your sleeping mat a breeze.
One of our most common requests is a way to more easily deflate and repack your EXPED camping mat, and Mega Pump delivers!
The Mega Pump features a rechargeable battery with a convenient USB-C port and double-click on/off button. While Mega Pump is designed to be used with EXPED sleeping mats, the included adapters (including a Universal Valve Adapter) allow Mega Pump to be used with select non-EXPED sleeping pads and inflatables.
Please note: We cannot ship this item outside of the UK as it contains a Lithium Battery.
Our Verdict
At 360 g, the Mega Pump is no ultralight accessory, but the weight makes sense if you’re inflating something like a MegaMat Duo. It’s impressively quick, inflating my large mat in around four minutes, and the deflate function makes rolling and stashing the mat far easier. I appreciated the included valve adapters, though I found the universal adapter fiddly with other brands.
The rechargeable battery is a handy upgrade, with a USB-C port that fits my existing kit. The pump isn’t whisper-quiet, but it’s not disruptive either.
I wouldn’t pack the Mega Pump for a fast-and-light mission, but for base camp setups or vehicle camping, it’s made inflating and deflating bulky mats much less of a chore. This will feel like a welcome luxury if you’ve ever wrestled with a big mat on cold mornings.

- 2-In-1 Pump: With an inflate port on one end and a deflate port on the other, you can set up and pack away your camping mat in minutes.

- Adapters Included: While Mega Pump is designed to be used with EXPED sleeping mats, we've included a set of rubber adapters (including an EXPED Universal Valve Adapter for the inflate port) for use with select other sleeping pads and inflatables.
- Rechargeable Battery: Ditch the plug-in power cord; Mega Pump can be used from anywhere. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery has a running time of 25 minutes, enough to fully inflate and deflate a single MegaMat up to 10 times.
