When seconds count, the ultra-compact Airbase inflates in just a few breaths — no pump required — providing immediate protection from uncomfortable surfaces. Independently sealed air chambers ensure that even if one section is punctured, the rest of the pad remains functional, maintaining support and insulation. Its deflation-resistant column structure enhances durability, while compatibility with bivvies, mylar wraps, or blankets makes it a versatile asset in the outdoors. The compact design makes it easy to stow in packs, gear bags, emergency kits and vehicles without adding bulk. The AirBase can only be inflated once and cannot be deflated without puncturing the material.
