does it deflate fo rmore than one use

Once it inflates, you need to purchase the CO2 re-arming kit (over $20 on Amazon) for the next use. Of course, you can blow it up manually but that defeats the whole concept. Since Amazon does not let you return this item, I would definitely check this out at a sporting goods store first. I, for one, would not buy it again.

Yes, that's one of the features that I like about this vest. I have other vests that once they deploy you have to send back to the factory to reset. This one you can deflate, fold it back down, close up the sides with the velcro and install another CO2 cartrage. My other vest (Switlik) is a great vest but it has zippers on the side which are designed to open when deployed. The problem with this is you have to send it back to the factory so they can re-pack it.

It does indeed allow for multiple uses - it's a good investment to get some extra cartridges in case you set one off by accident :-)

The vest itself yes. But u have to replace the co2 canister after each time it inflates

It comes with everything to inflate also a patch which you WILL need. I had mine on carpet, never moved and in six months it was leaking--A LOT! Deflated completely in two days. Buy a better one.

Not really. Works to raise vehicle under load then you deflate back to 5-10#. Only works under load

Mine deflates at least 50% between uses. It's annoying, but it's so fast to reinflate that I don't care. If you're using it a lot it will be inconvenient.

sorry I cannot answer that but the one I got was made of foam and that one is FANTASTIC!!! it does not deflate and we have had it for quite a long time hope someone else can help you with that question

no it does not. It takes a long time to fill using the regular inflating ports. I used the quick deflating ports to inflate most of the way and top off through the regular inflating ports. So I got a pump with a big inflator nozzle.

It will deflate in 5-10 minutes, aided by folding/rolling it up and sitting on it to press the air out. Unfortunately it is too big and unwieldy for a backpack; I keep mine in a 40-gallon contractor's garbage bag in the trunk of my car.

No. You inflate it using a pump (included) and it either deflates naturally (from body pressure over time) or you open up one of the gauges to release air pressure. It has worked well for my mom and the quality of the fabric is very good. (More than you asked, I know.)

Yes, there is a large valve on the bed for deflating. I think it can be used to inflate the bed with an external means of inflation.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

It deflates quickly. I think it took less than 5 minutes to deflate. I let it lay for a while before I folded it up and put it back in its bag.

I really don't know.. I live in a small apartment and I deflate after each use.. The boat inflates quickly and easily with the pump provided.

Does inflate itself without you having to blow it up with your mouth? I see both comments below?

Mine has only filled up one time. I am currently not drawing air from outside, just exhausting to outside and it is working well.

It deflates with the motor so about as fast as it takes to inflate. No more than 2 minutes. After I had it for a months it started deflating nearly all the way half way through the night.

The pump does not deflate the bed. However, there is a large opening for deflating and it only takes a few minutes.

Yes it has a built in air pump. It inflates and deflates very quickly when needed.
