I got the down version and really like it so far. I found having it 70% inflated was most comfortable as a side sleeper. Even at 70% inflation It doesn’t sound or feel like a air pillow.

Tried the trekology 2.0 on your recommendation...great pillow great price and comfortable and as you said stays on the pad with its built in strap and studded fabric that gives it friction against the mattress ... sleep is so important after a long day on the trail ... thanks for your review great as always 👍👍

@@huntercat93 .. no never have, they look darn comfy but i like the fact on mine theres a piece of elastic on it that goes around the air mattress to keep the pillow in place. it also has little friction studs on the under sde that keep it in place... I also dont blow either the mattress or pillow too hard.... thats a mistake lots of people make.... your air pillow and air mattress should only be inflated to about 75% even a bit saggy then so when you put your body weight on them they dont feel rock hard and you get a good nights sleep😴😴 .... regards Dave Mc

@@everyoneknowsadave3580 thanks dave, noce info on the inflation%. Since i will be using the pillow inside of the sleeping bag and not directly on the pad, i guess this strap feature holds no true use for me. Will decide after exploring some more reviews.

@@huntercat93 .... my sleeping bag has a hood piece as well .... still works with the strap and it traps it inside the hood area of the bag .... but i also wear a fleece balaclava hood to keep my head wa in cold nights so the hood of the sleeping bag really doesn’t come into play .... the pillow really works well with a down quilt or maybe just a costco down blanket when it’s really warm 👍👍

Another great review of pillows which are the bane of my life. I've ditched them and made a pillow case that fits over the top of my mat like a condom, is the best way to describe it. I stuff it with my clothes, puffy etc and it's just like my pillow at home just made it out of T Shirt material. Virtually no extra weight.

Thank you very much for this review. I was considering buying this version of the pillow, thinking that it was the previous version that you had reviewed so highly. As weight and size aren't so much of an issue for me, since I'll be using it for bikepacking rather than backpacking, I'm going with the Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow.

Cool! Was waiting for this one! Well, the down version specifically, but even if the down version improves the cushioning a bit, doesn't seem like it will redeem the pillow overall. To give some small leeway on the attachment system point... Some people are relying on other elements of their sleep system to keep the pillow in place. Hooded bags keep a pillow in the hood, and there are pad sheet/liner products with pockets/straps/zones for pillow positioning. Still, it would be nice to see these pillows come with removable straps, or at least strap/cord attachment points to give consumers the option. Great video!

Definitely some leeway on it, but I do think attachment points for some shockcord or detachable strap would be awesome. I really like the Exped system of two loops on either side.

Hi, you say it slides. If you have a look at some product photos/vids by thermarest for this pillow, it is designed to fit directly into the hood of their sleeping bags, namely the quester series which some of the fabric options match in colour etc. I don't believe it is designed to go directly onto the mat in the way that you are demonstrating. Just saying....... :)

While the trekkology's use of the pad strap is great. I just used it on an overnighter in Manning park. Where it fails is it does not have a pillow covering. While sleeping I found that the lack of insulation between my face and the bladder caused my face to sweat. Trekkology needs to fix this cause the strap is a good idea.

Maybe not the most helpful suggestion, but I use the old model thermarest down Pillow as a topper for the trekology 2.0. The down adds the padding, and the surface material is nicer on the face. Not the most ultralight combo, but incredibly comfortable. Finding the old Down Pillow is difficult as they discontinued it with the release of this new down airhead.

I have the trekology, haven't had a chance to use it yet but soon I hope, adding a pillow case for comfort You could sew some attachment points on the pillow case of the thermarest and make your own strap

Our sleeping pads are twins. Too bad their pillow sucks when their pad is a warm cloud of heaven.
