Save The Day!
Lighter, more compact, and more durable. Yep, you get all three with the WTB NanoAir TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) tube. It's compact, and packs down to one third of the size of a traditional tube. Just think of the extra things you can fit in your pack; a beverage, snacks, maybe even a snack for your friend that always forgets one, yea you know the one.
It's light. 60% lighter than that (cough cough) paperweight you have been lugging around. "But it's so light," you say, "how is that better than my paperweight tube?" Don't worry, these TPU tubes are tough, with a special construction/layup of material these are more durable than traditional butyl tubes. Having one of "those days," and you ride through a patch of thorns and get another flat? Don't worry, it comes with a few extra TPU patches to keep you rolling.

Reviews
I am giving 5 stars for overall rating because I like it better than 2 other brands of TPU I've tried (Tubolito, Rene Herse.) Both of the other brands had one of the 2 tubes defective. WTB was easy to install. I have punctured twice however. 1st time a tiny thin wire went thru a thin, not puncture resistant tire. I don't fault the tube. I patched it successfully with one of the 2 included patches. I think it's great that they include these. The 2nd flat was caused by the same wire! I know, my stupid mistake. I did find the tiny cut, and looked for the sharp object. Did not find it until looking the 2nd time. I patched it successfully the second time. I had the 2nd patch that came with the tire, but used a Park instant patch instead. I wanted to try it to see if it worked, as some people have said it likely would. It's working.
I had to change to more durable tires because of so many flats. I put on a heavier tire and then used the WTB NanoAir TPU tubes because of the light weight. The net effect was slightly lighter weight and NO FLATS.
