Exped inflatable pillow - bottom side
Owner: Thomas
Used since: 2013
Tested by: Thomas
Review by: Thomas
Primary Use: Light-Weight & multi-day hiking
Review:
I knew this pillow would be bouncy and wobbly to sleep on (as every inflatable item would have those features), which is the only downside of the product. But the space and weight saving benefits are hard to ignore if you are going on multi-day hikes and want to walk as light as possible.
Pros:
- Folds into a super small pack
- Very light
- Separate valves to inflate and deflate
Cons:
- As with any inflatable product, there is a tendency to be wobbly, especially if you don't blow it up completely in order to adjust the thickness of the pillow. Can also easily slide off your sleeping bag. The best way to avoid this is to wrap a towel or T-shirt around the pillow which makes it nicer to sleep on and less slippery.
Comment:
If space and weight saving is your primary goal and you don't mind sleeping on something a bit wobbly - this is a great product.
