[pct-l] Pillows

[JPL]

I also have tried the Exped pillow.  I like it "ok" but just that.  I'd 
really like something a little larger and softer.  Stuffing extra clothes in 
a stuff sack is fine but I don't carry extra clothes, especially during the 
summer.  I wouldn't mind a few more ounces (than the 2.8 Exped wt) but what? 
I've actually thought about rolling up my frameless pack, but haven't ever 
gotten around to trying that.

I used an Exped inflatable pillow (80gms/2.8oz) on my AT thru hike and will 
use it on the PCT. I am on it for at least 8 hours a night, it needs to be 
as comfortable as any other piece of equipment that I am using for that 
length of time every day. Dont skimp.  .Taz
