Great comparison video and I completely agree with your "6 things". I've been using the trekology pillows for a while now and I love them. The pad strap is the best as I move around a lot when sleeping and without that strap I end up waking up because my pillow is somewhere else (I am a quilt sleeper so no hood to put it in). It's a great low-cost option!

I've been using the Thermarest Down Pillow on a Trekology 2.0. Exceptionally comfy, but definitely not ultralight. Worth trying if you ever get your hands on one. The down basically does the same thing the foam topper does, but without having to franken-pillow it! I agree with your praise of the shape and baffling of the trekology.

I use a Coop Home Goods Toddler Pillow, took out most of the shredded memory foam, and put a naturehike (trekology) pillow under the foam layer. I can adjust the amount of foam for more comfort or adjust the amount of air in the inflatable pillow for more support. Get the perfect ratio of weight, comfort, and support for me. It all fits inside a zipped bamboo breathable pillow case so I can easily just wash that or even wash the whole pillow with the memory foam.

Nice round-up Justin, I really like your videos and subscribed to your channel! I have the Nemo pillow you mentioned and agree it's just sooooo comfy! I do a lot of bicycle touring and I always take it with me for a perfect night of sleep. For shorter hiking trips I also bring it, but the downside is obviously the hefty weight. For UL hiking I bought a Big Sky DreamSleeper Deluxe for only $25 on Drop. It weighs 40 grams for the air bladder (you can throw a buff/t-shirt around) but you can also take the very soft and comfy pillow cover with you that doubles as the stuff sack, weighing 61 grams, totalling only 101 grams or around 3.6 oz! Highly recommended pillow (I'm a side sleeper btw). Keep up the good work with your videos, really good stuff :)

Ive been using the Nemo fillo pillow. I just picked up a new pillow which is very close to your pillow at home. It’s the thermarest packable pillow. It’s made from recycled foam and feels great after it expands fully. Doesn’t compress as good as a lot of other backpacking pillows but I just shove it in the bottom of my pack with my quilt.

I have always found that compressible pillows end up compressing too much when I sleep on them and I lose the height I need as a side sleeper. They are also crazy heavy! But that's just me and I think it's important to use whatever is most comfortable and gets you the best sleep out there!

Fantastic video on pillows, Justin! I've enjoyed seeing your channel evolve. There's a local company in my area that makes their own version of the trekology/aeros style pillows for around the same price as the trekology. I've enjoyed the comfort of the pillow and the shoulder curve for those of us who are side sleepers, but I dislike the face fabric, it feels sticky with any condensation. Often I wrap a buff around my pillows to make them more comfortable. Recently I watched a video that showed using those sea-to-summit style UL bug-nets to attach the pillow to the pad! Haven't tried it out yet but thought I'd share.

I'm pretty sure, based off other hammocking pillows, that the Klymit X pillow is meant for use in a hammock. The X style baffling is such that it folds with the curve of the hammock and actually sort of origami's itself into a whole, solid pillow when used in the hammock. However on flat ground, clearly it's lacking in the center for support lol.

Jason, great detailed videos! I watched your first review of pillows and the second review (round 2) of pillows and based on your recommendations I bought two pillows. The Trekology 2.0 and the Therm-A-Rest Air Head. I have not had a chance to try either one on the trail yet but have had the opportunity to test them out at home. Just got my Air Head yesterday and the first thing I noticed was how noisy the pillow is. Each time I roll from back to side to side the crunching of the pillow is crazy noisy almost as noisy as a Therm-A-Rest pad. Do I have a defective pillow or do you have the same experience with your pillow?

To be it's been really good, feels real nice to the touch, nothing to worry about or fiddle with except let it expand before sleep.

I appreciate the reviews. I'm drawn to both vids today because I broke out the gear for the summer and had a leak in the Trekology 1.0 that I've had for about 2.5 years. I thought I fixed it but submerged and saw another one adjacent to the one I fixed, so figured I might have missed it originally. I put a patch on that whole area and it took ... but then I saw two other small ones pop up when testing. All were on the colored side of the pillow. I'm guessing that the material on that side just finally hit it's crap-out date and had become compromised. Looks like it's time for a Trekology 2.0! I like the idea of the strap to hold it in place, but I tend to always have my arm under my pillow while sleeping so we'll see how it works out. Keep up the good work!

@@JustinOutdoors Not a problem! I like that there seem to be more channels coming in over the past few years to fill a niche that wasn't really being addressed by all the thru-hiker channels, and I appreciate when they're done well. Fortunately this happened before every aspiring camper or hiker ended up buying a $400 quilt and $600 cuben-fiber tent stitched up in some dude's basement It's too bad that it really takes years to figure out what kind of hiker you are, and therefor what gear you really need. I don't regret buying an Atmos 65 right out of the gate, but as I continue to dial things in, I think that with the gear choices I make NOW, I could have gotten something with a little less engineering in the 50-55L range for much lower MSRP (although I only paid $125 for that Osprey pack) and been equally happy. Of course, then we couldn't have as much fun always checking out gear and thinking about how we can upgrade. Still, it's always good to know what options are out there so that we only end up buying the same part of our set-up 4x rather than 6x or 7x. Take care.

I am going to use a Loksak - Opsak for a pillow, it weights 1oz, holds air well and not very noise. I'll use my buff to comer and will store my puffy in it too.

Are you a Taurus? Love your focus on comfort! These videos were so informative! I have a whiplash injury that's been preventing me from camping the way I love to, and getting a comfy packable pillow will be key! Thank you!

Leo! I love a good night's sleep, so a comfortable sleep system is key for me! I have a Round 3 pillow video coming out next week, stay tuned!

I love the Nemo fillo but didn’t like the weight so I did a lot of modification to it . It’s still just as comfortable but only weighs 121g now :)

Justin Outdoors 1.Cut the stuff sack off I just put it in my foot box of my quilt 2.made it about 3 inches smaller and re sealed it. 3.cut the foam and the black mesh to match the new size.

The Klymit Drift pillow is excellent at $30 large size. Shredded foam, not an air bladder.

Great review...the link for the Air Head is for a $40 model at REI...still, good review. I hope I can find the one you reviewed.
@JustinOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын
They released a new model about 1 month after I did this video. That's why the one I reviewed was on sale I guess! I'm going to have to grab their newer model and check it out.

@@JustinOutdoors Cool, thanks for the reply. I just checked Amazon and that Trekology Ultralight 2.0 pillow got 4.5 stars and comes in 5 colors for only $16....not bad. Thanks for the review!

The pillows Ive used feel like Im sleeping on a baloon and not a pillow. They also feel like they wobble or I'm going to fall off it. I recently saw the Nemo Fillow Lux and it seems great, but it still looks like it will feel like sleeping on a balloon. I also need a proper height. The non-inflating pillow remind me of the crappy hotel pillows that I can never fall asleep on. Way too soft and I just sink in - The opposite of a balloon pillow My pillow at home is dense memory foam

Any comment on the temperature differences? The Fillo looks good, but I'm a hot sleeper and it looks like it might be on the warm side from the insulation. Just getting my first set of gear together, thanks for all the content mate!

The airhead has gone up a bit in price it looks like. Still might get one, got back from a trip friday and I had decided that I needed a better pillow to finish an awesome sleep system. Your video is just perfectly timed. It was the same way with the ghost whisperer vs Decathlon down jacket video.

Have you tried the Hikenture Pillow, available for 23 $ on Amazon Canada? Realy confortable with a fluffy top. A little bit bigger than the Trekology (for comparison the 2.0 version of this on is 22 $ on Amazon Ca), but it has this foam top that confers more comfort! And if you don't mind about space in your backpack, the Therm-A-Rest compressible Pillow is also a choice of comfort and light weight (not ultralight but eventhough quite light), almost like your home pillow!

Good review of the pillows, like I have said I have the trecology 2 but also would like some fome topping. Looked at the pillow at Decathlon (with foam) but did not buy it...have you seen or tried that one?
@JustinOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын
I haven't had a chance to try out the Decathlon one yet. It's on the list for sure and will be making it into Round 3. I'm going to call them and try to convince them to put loop tabs on the side like the Exped though, haha.

Justin Outdoors yes please do...in the search for the perfect pillow everything is allowed 😄👍🏻 I’m thinking of buying and trying it in the near future... what I know now is that the foam is sewed in to the pillow case, probably removable.

@@roberthammenrudh Hi there :-) I have the decathlon pillow (I like the fact that it costs £14.00)-also Decathlon give you a 3 year guarantee. Yes , you can remove the cover , because of this I think it would be quite easy to add/stitch on a couple of loops.I am a side sleeper.I find it quite comfortable.It wasn't until someone else mentioned that the crinkly noise annoyed them,that I then noticed it.I still like it
