Big Agnes Rapide SL Pillow

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A premium pillow from Big agnus, they have applied all their knowledge and know-how from their excellent Rapide SL range to the Rapide SL Pillow.

Big Agnes says: 

For those who don’t want to compromise extra weight and pack space to bring a pillow into the backcountry, your days of waking up with a stiff neck after sleeping on a rolled up down jacket are over. At a scant 1.6oz, the Rapide SL Pillow is the perfect backpacking companion, providing a good night’s sleep while taking up about the size of an energy bar. The offset I-beam construction provides consistent stability, and the micro-adjust valve allows you to control how firm or soft your dreamy pillow should be, so you’ll wake up ready to hit the trail.

Our Verdict

A premium pillow from Big agnus, they have applied all their knowledge and know-how from their excellent Rapide SL range to the Rapide SL Pillow. Heat reflective technology has been bonded to the pillow to add warmth but not weight. It packs down incredibly small; I stash min in my sleeping bag pocket, so it’s always close to hand.
