Not Very Comfy, But Very Small And Light

I shouldn't have expected a comfortable pillow at this weight and size, but I was hoping it would at least have a little bit of padding in it. It is basically the same thing as a backpacking sleeping pad, just pillow-shaped. It fit in my anthracite bag's hood very nicely; it packs down super small and weighs basically nothing, and it supported my head! My rolled-up down jacket is more comfortable, but sometimes I need to be wearing that while I sleep, so this will be good for those times.

This was my first experience with an inflatable camping pillow, and I've been really impressed so far. It's super comfortable and stays fully inflated all night without any deflating. Inflation is quick and easy — just a few breaths and it's ready to go. I've now taken it on four camping trips with zero issues, and it's held up great every time.

High Quality Product.

Really like the creative inflate/deflate mechanism. I use this pillow as an insert to my older Big Agnes memory foam pillow.

Super Nice Ul Inflatable Pillow

Pillow is actually pretty comfortable and easy to inflate and store. I like to use it when watching tv sometimes too.

Inflatable Pillow By Big Agnes - Rapide Sl Pillow

I bought this for a backpacking trip but now use it for every camping trip. Super small, it fits in my sleeping bag stuff sack and is never left behind. The only downside is that the pillow will slide off your sleeping pad unless you lock it down. My advice is to tuck the pillow into your sleeping bag. Highly recommended for the price. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or expert; this will work for all levels.

Great Pillow

I love that this pillow has its own spot in the Big Agnes sleeping bag. Together they work very well.

Comfy, Quick, And Compact

This pillow is great! Granted, this is the first inflatable pillow I have used it performs flawlessly. When deflated it takes barely any space. It inflates in only a few breaths. And it fit perfectly into the pillow pocket of my Big Agnes Anvil Horn bag.

I have tried several other backpacking pillows and found this one to be the most comfortable by far. Even sleeping on my side, the shape provides great comfort and support.

We love the shape and it's too light to leave being.

Better Sleep

This was my first inflatable pillow for backpacking/bikepacking. Overall, I find it a noticeable upgrade to most typical lightweight compressible pillows and especially the puff jacket approach. The pillow compresses to a very small volume and weights very little. Bottom line: if you are into ultralight and not having the best sleep, this is a worthwhile investment.

It Works!

Pillow holds air well. The shape is comfortable. I pair it with a big agnes sleeping bag that has a insert for a pillow so it fits perfectly and doesn't move. Not sure how it would be without that insert. Best feature is how small it packs down. It is very lightweight and packable.

Packs Really Small

packs really small and blows up really fast. Comfortable and ergonomic.

Why Not.

Besides chairs and umbrellas, pillows have to be the most debated pieces of gear in trail. Do you bring a pillow, or ball up your clothes in a stuff sack? Me? I'm a pillow guy, and at 1.6 ounces, why not? A few Christmases ago, I bought almost every on Expertvoice, and I used them all. This is my favorite. Most of the time, I'm hanging on a hammock and the shoulder indent keeps out from sliding down or moving around.

Love having a pillow out in the backcountry. Anything to help with a good night's sleep!

Very Light, A Touch Thin

Extremely lightweight, very compact. I can reliably fill it with a single breath, which is a nice feature. I've used it about a year now and it had held up extremely well, it looks brand new despite significant use. Definitely a fan of durable products built well like this one is. By far the largest drawback of this pillow is the thickness. It claims 4in, which I haven't measured, but it's not enough for a person with wide shoulders to side sleep, not by a long shot. I would really like to see a future version using the same design principles and materials, just a lot thicker to accommodate people with wide shoulders. 6 in or so would be a good target thickness.
