Will this automatically inflate if it's wet (like in the rain?)

I have not had any to inflate during the rain but if they are wet and you put in rod box and forget it will.

I learned the hard way that this jacket's auto function is very good. Like an idiot I had it behind me in my kayak and not on when I was caught in a torrential rain storm and my boat had four or five inches od water in it . . . and it did/deploy deflate. I highly recommend against this practice. My back was injured and I have been seeing a chiropractor. Totally my own fault, however, I learned that wet will not deflate it submerged will.

No. Some models do, but this one must be closed manually. If it is left partially open with the fan on low, rain does not usually get in.

Yes! It should do it quickly. We use it to inflate a boat and it does it in about 5 minutes and it's a pretty large inflatable .

I have a coleman electric air pump It does not take to long to inflate you just have to turn the valve to let air

Yes it will inflate and deflate like the battery powered air pumps. This one does it much faster and with more air pressure.

No you do not. However a pump or leaf blower is highly recommended. It would take for ever to inflate them manually

It comes with an automatic pump. It also comes with a handy cigarette lighter charger. On our last trip we forgot to charge the pump, but we were able to plug it into the charger and inflate the bed while plugged in. Inflation only takes a couple of minutes

Ours does not deflate completely but does lose some air from being outside. (Physics) If yours completely deflates, a return might be necessary

Yes but no matter how you activate the bag it takes about a minute to inflate to the point of rupture.

You need to pump it up in stages so you wiuld need to wait that long just to inflate it. Once inflated you can use immediately.

Hi, the item which i got has manual pump, it takes some time and energy to fill it, but it never deflates.

This comes with an air gauge that can be used to deflate - pushing the button on the side of the gauge releases air. Another option is an automatic deflator .. Staun Tire Deflators

Yes. inflat to the max. wait a few days,use it, sit on it. In time it will stretch out. You feel the difference once it's stretched out.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

When you unroll it, it inflates. You have to do this a couple of times before it fully inflates.

I don't think it is suppose to inflate unless it get submerged. Since I received mine we have not had a search and rescue/recovery in any type of weather so I have not worn mine yet.

No, just open the valves and it self inflates due the enclosed open cell foam. Simply close the valves prior to sleeping on it.
