Weight: 6 oz
Fill: polyfiber synthetic insulation core surrounded by 500-fill goose down
Dimensions: 18" x 12"
12" x 4" x 3" (packed)
MSRP: $15

Pros:

Reasonably comfortable and lighter weight than other pillows its size. The two-sided outer fabric gives you the choice of polyester on one side or polyester/cotton on the other, and the hybrid design combines the softness of goose down with the firmness of synthetic fill. When stuffed into its tubular stuff sack, the pillow becomes a neck-support pillow or lumbar pad. The larger size makes it best for basecamp and travel. It's the most affordable of the down pillows.

Cons:

Despite its synthetic core, the pillow still feels a bit flat, and it's too big to fit inside a mummy bag. However, doubling it over works nicely. It isn’t as compressible as the other down or hybrid pillows and it took a couple tries to roll it up and get it back into its tubular stuff sack properly.

This is a good pillow! Smashes flat for travel and pops back up at night when you need a good nights sleep! I'm a down snob! and live on them. I haven't had any problems with mine, and would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a night of comfort at a cheap price! Plus it's REI!!

This is a great comfortable small pillow. It travels well, it's durable, soft and comfy.

I mostly sleep on my back and it's great. Sleeping on your side it may be fine, or you may want 2 of these. Depends on how fluffy you like your pillow.
