PS: Having used it now for two or more weeks, if you sleep on your side, this Fillo is not the best.

Later on I began to realize how special this corner of West Virginia was with Canaan Valley, Dolly Sods, the Blackwater River, and White Grass cross country skiing all nearby. On outdoor excursions from Alaska to Alabama, we loved sleeping on this near-perfect camping pillow. With a luxurious soft feel and up to 15cm worth of comfort in terms of height when fully inflated this is a serious treat for any camper.Please consider supporting this site and using these links if you decide to purchase a piece of gear.

The Nemo Fillo Pillow is an extremely soft and comfortable backpacking and camping pillow that packs down small into its integrated stuff sack. Shoulder injuries are incredibly prevalent with whitewater paddlers, and I was personally interested in the data since I sustained multiple subluxations while kayaking ultimately resulting in surgery in 2012.

When measured against its peers, the Fillo Elite performs as well or better than the myriad of inflatables currently on the market.

When I took it out (over a year later) again for car camping, I found that the foam bounced back after only about 5 minutes, the felted cover had somehow survived a year in a musty basement without picking up too much mildew smell (one quick spray of vodka / water mixture solved the issue once and for all), and overall the Fillo appeared to be as good as ever! From your local crag to the summit of Everest, at Tiso, you’ll find the climbing and mountaineering equipment you need. Unfortunately there are many confounding factors present, and I never had the time or technical skill to do justice to the sheer amount of data collected in the survey. It's not the most comfortable pillow on our list, but its effective layering of a stretchy air cell, Primaloft insulation, and soft jersey-blend exterior, synthesize into one of the more comfortable ultra-lite inflatable pillows we've come across. Additionally, I’ve found that many pump sacks like the Exped Schnozzel are cross compatible with other manufacturer’s flat valves, and this is the best way to inflate anything be it a sleeping pad or pillow – so that your warm moisture laden breath isn’t being used to inflate.if you leave it), the Fillo's cover is as lighter-weight than some stuff-sac pillows, does the same job, and is quieter / more comfortable. Using a combination of a baffled air cell, thick luxury foam, a soft, washable microsuede or jersey cover, and an ergonomic valve this pillow is soft and luxurious like your pillow at home, yet packs surprisingly small. The solid-colored pillows (grey and green) are the only ones sporting the microsuede, which we are huge fans of.

The award-winning Fillo™ backpacking and camping pillow brings clever design to an often-overlooked piece of gear: the humble camp pillow.

Similar type inflatable pillows generally can be folded over and rolled up before slipping them into their stuff sack.
