This pillow's stuff sack is rather small, though, which made it more difficult to get the pillow inside. The Escalante Route is reportedly one of the more difficult, non-technical routes in the Grand Canyon, but it offers a sampling platter for all the Canyon has to offer. Unfortunately there are many confounding factors present, and I never had the time or technical skill to do justice to the sheer amount of data collected in the survey.

Unfortunately I moved at the beginning of summer and temperatures were pretty toasty in the Moab area. The Nemo Fillo Pillow is an extremely soft and comfortable backpacking and camping pillow that packs down small into its integrated stuff sack. Designed for side-sleepers with broad shoulders, this pillow brings six inches of lofty and adjustable support.The Nemo Fillo combines some of the most desirable qualities of inflatable and compressible pillows into a top-notch hybrid pillow. The result is a pillow that is soft and yielding like your pillow at home, feels big when cradling your head, yet packs surprisingly small. This way, I can attach the pillow to my pad using this system that weighs very little, but works very well.

This is a little tricky, as the valve will immediately release all the air you just blew up the pillow with before you can close it unless you use two hands and twist it closed while inflating. We designed the Fillo™ Elite with a layer of 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Primaloft® insulation, combined with a 3” I-beam baffled air cell and an ultra-soft jersey cover. The features are great - it packs down to next to nothing in the attached stuffsack, the bungee on the bottom is great for raising it up a bit, and the memory foam/fabric combination is really comfortable. When you try it out, it may not feel fantastic, but I sleep UN-interrupted using it, so my sleeping self loves the feel of it, I guess you could say.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The Fillo is the perfect choice for a weekender at the nearest campground or for a few days in the backcountry. However, when compared against similar pillows, the Fillo Elite does seem to provide support that is ever so slightly more comfortable than its peers.
