    Pillow talk

    What are people using for a pillow? At the moment I am just using spare clothes but need something better.

    I am contemplating ordering some climashield for a DIY pillow but not sure how much I would need???? Once I order some for a pillow though I may as well order some for some quilts for the kids, and then where will it stop .

    I was using an Exped air pillow but just recently picked up an inflatable neck pillow on Ebay. It cost $2.79 and weighs 1.6oz. I haven't slept all night with it yet but I did lounge for a while and I think neck pillows are perfect for hammocks. If you're interested I can try to find the link.

    I picked up the Cocoon ultralight pillow a few years ago. Weighs less than 4 ounces and is pretty comfortable.

    I got one of those neck pillows with the tiny beans or whatever they are in it. Weighs about 2oz and is quite wonderful. I turn it different ways depending on what i am doing, but it goes around the neck for sleep. insulates the back of the head really well.

    I use a small down pillow from Wilderness Logics. It is Fleece on one side--ripstop on the other. I like the squishiness of down.
    Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!

    This is what I've carried for about the last three years. It's light, comfortable and packs down really small. (2.4 oz)
