Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Weight-first backpackers who want a shaped pillow at 60 g
- Side and back sleepers using a sleeping bag with a hood
- Bikepacking and fastpacking, where it fits in a pocket
Strengths
- 60 g for the Regular, in the top weight band
- 10 cm tall, with a soft stretch-knit top that is comfortable on skin
- Same valve as Therm-a-Rest's sleeping mats, which Advnture rates as easy to inflate and empty
- Shape fits inside most sleeping bag hoods
Weaknesses
- Firmer than a pillow with a cushioned top, and BikeHikeSafari found the fabric less soft than some rivals
- Nothing attaches it to a mat
- Maker gives no packed size in litres or centimetres
