There's a drawstring on the side of the Thermorest which allows you to condense the foam and get it to have more loft. You can also put it in a compression sack with your down quilt/sleeping bag. At that point it will take up very little room in your bag. It still takes up more room than the other pillows, but i swear by it.

I absolutely love your vibe, such a chill but informative video.

I agree with this statement. Just subbed. Something about the white beard speaks wisdom to me.

Great video! Very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you so much. That's encouraging to hear.

The Therm-a-Rest can be cinched to adjust the firmness. BTW. You have great videos!

I enjoy my trekology pillow but the Nemo Fillo (regular) and the Thermarest Aeros premium are great too (thick 4 inch) The fillo and aeros softness are amazing.

Thanks! As a side sleeper with broader shoulders, I ended up going with a standard size Nemo Fillo stacked with a Trekology Aluft Plus. Great size/comfort while maintaining a small enough size in my pack

Yeah, I do the same, a Klymit and a Coleman stuffed united with a Buff.

To get rid of the smell, use lysol(use your favorite smell)to kill the smell(let dry spray again if necessary). I use this on books formerly used by smokers.

Sea to Summit Aeros Deluxe is my go to pillow. Also use the Big Sky Dreamsleeper when I really want to shave ounces.

I haven't heard of either of those. I'll check them out. Thank you!

I've got the Trekology Aluft 2.0 which I use pretty regularly. It's pretty comfortable and packs down really small, but for a side sleeper such as myself it seems to hurt my ear after a while laying on one side.

I like the variety and very well made video. However it would be good to see you and a few others give there opinion on the channel at the same time so we can get a all round totall. Also you're missing Sea to Summit and the old tradition folded jacket/shirt in a small bag. 👍

Just ordered the trekology aluft deluxe.. got for $16 on Amazon. Also ordered the naturehike mongar2 as it also had good reviews for a budget tent. Got that on sale for $99 on Amazon. I’ve heard folks say good things about the Nemo deluxe but I’m super sensitive to chemical smells so I’m glad you mentioned that. Plus I only got a 50L pack (Decathlon $99) so need to be conscious of space. Looking forward to my first overnight backpacking trip (not yet scheduled but happening this fall!) Will be testing items out in my yard and also on a friends property in the woods. Hope they all work out well! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

No links???

We are launching a new camping pillow and we were wondering if you could review it? Do you have contact information?

While I appreciate the info on price and packable size, you didn’t include any of the weights. The weight is of particular concern for backpackers. Thanks for the video though.

Weight is not a main concern for me. I take whatever items I want in order to be comfortable.

I think I heard a taun taun!
