AirBase Inflatable Insulation Pad
The AirBase Inflatable Insulation Pad is engineered with first responders in mind, offering rapid deployment, reliable insulation and unmatched portability in critical situations. Its ultra-lightweight, compact design makes it easy to stow in emergency kits or response vehicles without adding bulk.
When seconds count, the pad inflates in just 2-4 breaths — no pump required — providing immediate thermal protection by slowing heat loss to the ground. Independently sealed air chambers ensure that even if one section is punctured, the rest of the pad remains functional, maintaining support and insulation. Its deflation-resistant column structure enhances durability, while compatibility with bivvies, mylar wraps, or blankets makes it a versatile asset in field scenarios.
Whether protecting someone lying on the ground or creating a more comfortable staging area, the AirBase pad delivers dependable performance when it matters most.
The AirBase can only be inflated once and cannot be deflated without puncturing the material.

Great for preventing hypothermia in trauma patients, it is also a great piece of kit for other applications
I was introduced to the AirBase at SOMSA 2025. I felt this product, although low tech, was the best thing in the vendor hall. I was given one to try and give feedback on. I did, and I have to say, this thing delivers a high yield for the extremely low weight and cube of the product. I was on a medical rescue mission in a wilderness area above 10,000 feet. The patient was not able to be flown out until first light and unable to walk out in that period of time. I had to remain with the patient and their party overnight (about 8 hours). During my insertion, my feet were fully submerged in an alpine marsh. I had to take my boots and socks off to dry them by the fire. Although not its primary use, I used the AirBase to stand on so my feet wouldn't freeze. After that, I used it as a pad to sit on throughout the night. Later in the operation, I had to set up a plan for people to get some sleep, and we were able to use the AirBase for people to rest on. Last, since the AirBase was near a campfire, at one point, some embers landed on the AirBase and burned a hole in the plastic. However, this was no factor since the AirBase was designed to have single cells deflate without any effect on other cells. The rest of the cells stayed inflated with no problem, and the AirBase was effective the entire mission. So, while great for preventing hypothermia in trauma patients, it is also a great piece of kit for other applications and costs nearly nothing for weight and cube constraints in austere environments.
