The Snugpak Basecamp Ops Air Pillow is an inflatable OD green pillow measuring 18 by 10 by 3 inches, packing to 4 by 5 inches at 3 ounces.
Three ounces is the argument. A compressible pillow of similar size weighs several times that and takes far more room, and most people end up using a stuffed jacket instead. At 4 by 5 inches packed this one goes in a pack without being noticed, so it actually gets taken.
The 30D stretch fabric has a TPU coating, which is what holds air over a full night rather than needing topping up at 3am. Stretch fabric also means the surface gives under a head rather than staying drum-tight, which is the usual complaint about inflatable pillows. Explore more camp accessories.
