Why We Like The Pocket Impero
Modeled after one of our favorite full-sized pumps from Silca, the Pocket Impero exhibits the same overachieving qualities as its larger sibling in an on-the-go package. It’s designed with premium materials, including a full aluminum construction without any plastic, and a leather gasket that helps minimizes heat build-up for greater efficiency during full tire inflations.

Pump sucks

Like all Silca products well marketed garbage. Spent over 40 minutes trying desperately to pump tires valve constantly clogged in the hole, never got firm pressure eventually rode off and gently hit a bump and flatted again in 5 minutes due to such low pressure. Other times spent 30-40 minutes desperately pumping same low pressure problem eventually got assistance from fellow bikers w better pumps . Stay away from silca all their products have been failures and expensive ones at that.
