In short
Good for
- Campers who want a pillow close to a home one
- Side sleepers: 15 cm tall, adjustable by letting air out
- Use on a mat: eyelets on the sides let you cord it down
Strengths
- Air cell plus a foam-flake topper made from upcycled mat offcuts gives a thick, soft feel
- 15 cm tall in the L, adjustable by letting air out
- Air cell lifts out so the cover can be washed
- Fabric eyelets on the sides for fixing it to a mat
- 5-year warranty from Exped
Weaknesses
- 185 g and a bulky pack: Kampeermeneer says the packed size is much bigger than other travel pillows
- The brand publishes no packed size
- Kampeermeneer notes the foam flakes can be felt and the pillow is a tight fit back in its sack
- Not enough independent tests of the current version yet
