Hiking pillows

Travel pillows

On classic hiking trips, when all things are carried on hikers themselves, pillows, as a separate item, are rarely taken. As a rule, their role is simply fulfilled by a roll of soft clothes under the head. Such a pillow weighs nothing, since we carry these things in our backpack anyway, and it's great that they have a second use. For keeping stack of clothes from parting and having a bit more pleasant pillow, you can use a T-shirt or sweater as a pillowcase.

For a more comfortable and relaxing rest, there are special camping pillows. Both inflatable and regular, filled with some kind of soft synthetic material. All of them are distinguished by the fact that when folded, they are quite compact and take up little space during transportation. So the choice is more a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer high and slightly stiffer inflatable pillows. Others, on the contrary, lower and softer classic ones.
