Product Reviews and Questions
Love it!
I absolutely love this stuff sack pillow! It has transformed the way I sleep at night out in the trail. It’s also great that it doubles as a waterproof sack to store my clothes.
Double Duty
If you are going to be taking extra clothing or soft gear you might as well have an item that will do double duty to save weight, dry bag/pillow. The only thing I wish this had was a couple of tabs on the ends when in pillow mode, so shock cord could be attached to go around your pad, because the pillow can slide around.
Pillow
It's a comfy pillow with its shape and soft lining. I put puffy's and/or long underwear in it while in my pack; in camp at night I wear those and put hiking clothes in the pillow sack. Nice for things to serve more than one purpose. This is my second one; the first one started fraying after a couple years of use. Hyperlite gave me a good discount on replacing it, so I give it 4 stars instead of 3.
I got mine years ago when still made in the USA
They used to have 2 sizes of this. The small was way too small, the large could stand to be a little bigger, however, I combined it with a down pillow by Goosefeet gear and they work great together. My hyperlite pillow I have has since 2019 and it's still going strong. Easy to use and easy to wash. I can't say anything on the new ones they have outsourced to Mexico because I haven't used one.. I have, however, read some reviews and met one hiker last year where their's failed on the second week. (Zipper broke) Although expensive I've gotten a lot of use out of this product and continue to carry it. Like I said it pairs great with something like a 3oz down pillow. The combination really helped me get much better sleep on my thru-hikes.
Too small
So I own two of these from when this was offered in two different sizes. Looks like it's now only offered in one size, which seems to correspond to the larger of the two sizes when it was offered in two sizes (17x12 and 11x8). The 11x8 is useless. The 17x12 is just barely usable. A tiny person might find it okay, but I'm 6'5".
This is a great design and I'd give 5 stars if only it was large enough. The design is far better than all the other inflatable pillow options offered by other gear companies. It actually has the potential to feel like a real pillow.
However, even at 17" x 12", it's too small. The issue is that when you stuff a 17" long linear section to get it to the height you want, it ends up a fair bit shorter in practice when stuffed and the curvature/roll-off is too great for you head to rest stably. Plus, if you want more loft/height, you need to add more clothes or other items in it which makes it too stiff and increases the curvature and roll-off further. If you don't pack enough, it doesn't do much as a pillow.
This size might work for back sleepers that don't move around, but for stomach or side sleepers, it would be awesome if a larger size were available, For a FKT-oriented through-hiker where they are wearing everything they have, they might have difficulty stuffing a larger pillow but for shoulder season and winter camping, you're much more likely to have diversity of layers and other gear to give enough loft to a larger pillow and then get a much…
