Re: [at-l] Pillow Talk

Datto,
Over the years I have used anything I could find that was softer than a
brick for a pillow, without finding anything that was really comfortable.
What has worked the best for me is the Thermarest Pocket Pillow.  It's not
really a pillow, just a flannel-like nylon "pillow case" that you stuff a
jacket into.  When stuffed with my North Face Berring polargard 3D jacket,
it is just a comfy as the pillow I use at home.  And it only weighs 1.25 oz.
I know, I can do the same thing with a stuff sack, but they aren't nearly as
comfortable.  Even with my new reduced pack weight, it's worth carrying.

Good Hiking,
Jim
