The best backpacking pillow

We love the 9L Hyperlite Mountain Gear Stuff Sack Pillow for dry gear storage and improving quality of sleep.

• Weight 1.7 oz
• Price: $59
• Size: 12×17″
• Fabric: DCF 8, 100 weight-fleece lining
• Pros: Comfy. Doubles as dry bag stuff sack. Ultralight.
• Cons: Doesn’t work if you’re wearing all of your layers to bed.

Features and Verdict

A great 2-for-1. Constructed with waterproof durable Dyneema, zipper access, and a reversible fleece interior lining for pillow-mode. It gives a lot of utility for 1.7 ounces.

The large size fits a puffy jacket and/or some extra layers. We find it is comfier than inflatable pillows. Grab one of these, you will not regret it!
