This pillow packs away so small! It's very convenient for camping and it is comfortable!

Very well-made. The valve in the inflation port is very simple yet very thoughtful. Simple to use and love.

Very nice! I’ve been putting off buying a pillow for backpacking for quite a while but I finally pulled the trigger. Now I’m wishing I wold have gotten one a couple years ago. Material is much softer than I was expecting. Overall very comfortable and definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Satisfactory. Not as nice as my own pillow at home but hey I’m backpacking. Maybe add some anti-slide material so it will stay on the sleeping pad better but thats no biggie.

Awesome pillow that stores up super small, comfortable enough to pack car camping but takes up very little space in my lightweight bikepacking setup.

Good as advertised. Easy to inflate, feather light and it hold it's air for use after use. I'd highly recommend...

The pillow is not only comfy the traction letters on the reverse keep it from sliding off your pad. ?

This is quick to inflate and deflate, super supportive, and folds up into practically nothing. It really bumps up the comfort on the trail. I actually had to buy a second one since this is so small I've misplaced it multiple times!

I have always just wadded up a bunch of clothes or stuffed my pack under my head at night. The addition of the Animas pillow to my kit has been a great compliment to my sleeping system. I recommend running it a bit lower pressure than full for maximum comfort. Well worth the added (very low) weight to your gear.

The pillow fits perfectly in a mummy sleeping bag. It is stretchable, soft, super light and packs really small!

I bought this pillow after the review by Andrew Skurka on his website, as I was in the market for an ultralight pillow. To that end, it fits the bill perfectly. A scant 2 oz! It also inflates and deflates very quickly, and holds the air well. It's comfortable to the touch, and the gripiness that the lettering provides helps it stay in place when the weight of your head is full on it. This is a quality product that performs well, and I am excited to take it on many a trip. The one star removal is merely for subjective reasons. First, air pillows in themselves aren't very comfortable, and take some getting used to. But that's just something I'll have to get used to on my own, I certainly can't fault Sierra Designs for that. My other, perhaps more important criticism, is that the pillow itself seems designed exclusively for back-sleepers. When I am on my back the pillow fits very well around the contours of my neck. I am a side sleeper, however, and when I turn on my side the pillow doesn't fit near as well. It feels awkward. I make it work by moving my bottom arm to get comfortable, but it's never quite "just right". That said, I bought it more for the weight savings, which it excels at, and I have been sleeping just fine with it even on my side--it still just feels weird.

First impressions/pros: •inflates/deflates super fast •legit 2oz •comfortable on the skin •packs on your bag like a sheet of paper Cons: Too much text on the pillow...but I feel like I’m slicing hairs saying that. Overall: Well done Sierra Designs and Andrew Skurka
