Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Neoair Xlite and have a Sea to Summit air stream dry bag that I really like. The problem is that the valves are incompatible! Now I know that I can inflate by lung power, but I like the pump sack and it is very light and keeps my down quilt dry.
I started to search around the house for something that would work and be lightweight. My solution? I cut off the pinky of one of those blue dishwashing gloves. It has a natural taper that fits nice and snug on both valves and I just leave it on my Neoair permanently. I can still turn the valve to release air with it on. It adds a total of 1.3 grams to my pad, and could probably cut it shorter and make it lighter. The rubber has a perfect stretch and feels less flimsy then the pad itself.
Anyways, I thought I would share because I did not find anything on adapting the valves when I searched, I know it may seem silly, but it is what I had on hand and it works!
