A good night's sleep is the difference between an epic trip and a miserable slog. We recommend the Aerie because its convex design prevents the "sliding pillow" problem common with other inflatable pillows.

Why We Like It
Designed for ultralight backpackers, this pillow is extremely light and packs down to the size of a lime. Unlike flat or convex air pillows that tend to shoot out from under your head, the Aerie features a contoured center impression. This "cradle" design keeps your head centered and stable throughout the night. The top surface is a soft Pro-Stretch fabric—much quieter and more comfortable against the skin than the "crinkly" plastic feel of cheaper alternatives. Includes a carry sack.
