Description:

The Grand Trunk Traveling Pillow is comfortable and versatile travel pillow.  It has a drawstring cord that adjusts it’s firmness and can pack down to fit in a small stuff sack.  The filling is a cotton matieral and the outside is a nylon type material.  It’s great for traveling and light, comfort camping.  It comes with its own stuff sack. 

When to Bring It:

• Short backpacking trips during the summer when you may not have enough clothes to make your own pillow
• General traveling on airplanes, cars, trains, etc.
• Family/car camping where space is not limited
• When you can’t decide between a stiff or soft pillow (this can have both!)

When to Leave It:

• Longer backpacking trips – this takes up a rather large space – almost that of a tightly packed sleeping bag
• Winter camping – you can use a sweatshirt or stuff sack full of clothes for a pillow instead
• When you have a very slick sleeping bag – this is a nylon material, so it will slip around

A couple tips:

• The stuff sack included is for light use only.  If you plan to take this in the back country, we recommend getting a separate XS stuff sack to go along with it, or stufing it in your clothes stuff sack. 
• This works great on a plane and has a drawstring, so you can tie it somewhere on the outside of your carry on luggage so it’s not counted as a “personal item” with your luggage.
• There is a bit of compromise needed when adjusting for camping – the tighter you pull the cord, the firmer the pillow is, which makes it smaller and tighter – making it more slippery.  If you leave it pretty loose, it will stay in one spot easily, but you won’t have too much cushion. 
• The filling is a cotton material (not foam) so it’s compressible, but must be in a stuff sack or compression sack to stay compressed.
