if you are an avid camper, we are sure at some point in time you have this experience: getting out of puff from inflating an air pad. it is an age-old problem that’s being “overcome” with the use of manual or electrical pump. it was the perfect solution until now. meet the Windcatcher Air Pad, a revolutionary new technology that’s going to change how we inflate things and not just the Windcatcher Air Pad. at a glance, the Air Pad looks like any regular air mattress but instead of wrapping your mouth on a conventional valve to inflate it, the Windcatcher has a special one-way valve built-into the ‘mouth’ of the air pad where all you need is to blow into that large opening and it catches the air and drawing the surrounding air along with and thereby enabling the Windcatcher Air Pad to inflate in double quick time. it is hard to explain how amazing this product is and the best way to understand its awesomeness is to catch videos of it in action, which you can find after the break.
the Windcatcher Air Pad is made out of ripstop polyester and internally laminated with polyurethane for durability. it measures 20 x 72 x 3.25 inches inflated and when deflated, packs into a compact 9″ x 3.5″ package that weighs just 1.5 pounds. the Windcatcher Air Pad is the brainchild of Ryan Frayne and Rob Stam and is currently up on Kickstarter seeking your support to make this amazing product a reality (which it will be as the project is well over its set goal). to secure yourself one, all you have to do is to make a pledge of $80 or more (regular retail would be $100). it is that easy. expect shipping to be in August 2013.
