SKU: inflation-bag
Overview
A practical spare for paddlers who want a backup inflation option on hand, this bag is designed to work with Grand Canyon raft Temper Assist Valves through a press-fit swivel nozzle that rotates 360 degrees. It also adapts to several other retail sleeping pads, including Exped, Sea to Summit, NEMO, and Therm-a-Rest WingLock when the adapter is reversed. The setup is meant to simplify inflation and reduce twisting at the valve, which can make launch prep more straightforward. It is worth noting that the adapter does not fit Big Agnes accessories, and all packrafts already include an inflation bag unless you need a replacement or spare.

- Compatibility is broad, but the product notes that the inflation adapter does not fit Big Agnes accessories.
- The press-fit swivel nozzle is designed to reduce twisting, but it still requires the adapter to be screwed onto the valve before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this Inflation Bag used for?
It is a spare inflation bag for Grand Canyon packrafts and is also described as compatible with the Temper Assist Valves on the brand’s rafts.
Does it come with the packraft, or is it sold separately?
The description says all of the brand’s packrafts come with an inflation bag, so this product is only needed if you lose yours or want a spare.
What valves or sleeping pads can it connect to?
It integrates with Temper Assist Valves via a press-fit swivel nozzle. The press-fit adapter is also described as mating to many retail sleeping pads, including Exped, Sea to Summit, and NEMO, and it can be reversed to fit Therm-a-Rest WingLock.
Can I replace just the adapter if I lose it?
Yes. The description says the thread-on adapter is sold separately if you lose it or need a spare, so you do not need to replace the entire inflation bag.
Will this adapter fit Big Agnes accessories?
No. The note specifically says the inflation adapter does not fit Big Agnes accessories.
