They’re also great because they don’t introduce moisture to the pad like you breath does, which minimized the possibility of mould or mildew, which is especially important if you have a down filled pad.

What exactly is it? A bag that can be used to inflate a mattress instead of using your breath?
Yes. It is a drysack that can contain and inflated the pad.
I've never heard it called by that name before. But I've had a sleeping pad with that type of pump bag for a few years and it's great. 10 pumps and it's full.
It's what the brand 'exped' calls their pump sacks. I like the name (and i have an exped mat - and theit bags are big, 3 pumps and full, haha).
I kind of like the name too!
The mat I have that came with a pump bag is the Klymit Double V. Pretty good, not bad.
Really comes in handy, especially if I have to inflate a two person pad. And it's dual purpose as a dry bag/stuff sack means it's useful the whole hike.
