Fast inflation, strong insulation, and excellent weight-to-warmth performance
Flextail says:
The Tiny Sleeping Pad R09 AVS Mummy off an R-value of 9.4, designed for extreme cold environments down to -35°C, ensuring superior insulation and warmth during winter adventures.
The R09 AVS Mummy features an integrated electric pump — the AVS Capsule Pump — which inflates the pad in under 60 seconds with the push of a button, eliminating the need for an external pump or breath.
Our Verdict
The Flextail Tiny Sleeping Pad R09 AVS Mummy offers an impressive R-value of 9.4, tested under ASTM F3340-22. At 483g and 9cm thick, it delivers serious winter performance with minimal weight. One of the standout features of this sleeping pad line is the built-in AVS Capsule Pump, a compact, rechargeable electric pump that fully inflates the pad in about 50 to 60 seconds and also handles quick deflation. The pump integrates neatly into the valve system, making setup and pack-down much faster and easier than using a pumpsack or your lungs.
While it can be tricky at first to align, seal, and remove the capsule correctly, it quickly becomes second nature with a bit of practice.
The pad also uses a "standard valve," meaning it is compatible with older Therm-a-Rest and NEMO-style pumpsacks (not the newer WingLock or Vortex types), giving you a manual inflation option if you can source an old pumpsack.
At 183cm by 51cm, the mummy cut is light and compact, but the regular size may feel short or narrow for some. A longer version is available, though I still wish there were a rectangular option for more room to move.
