Hereโs how you need your camping pillow to be:
โข Easy to use and maintain

โข Lightweight and compact
โข Enough space for your head
โข Doesnโt make potato bag like noises
โข Doesnโt slide between your head and the sleeping pad
โข Feels good on your skin
And thatโs exactly what weโve built for you!
Weโve made a cloud-like camping pillow that does all of the above, fits into your pocket, and mimics the comfort of your own bed!
Soft, Silent & Supportive
Gear Doctors Camping pillow design offers a wide headspace with curves and baffles to provide the maximum support for your head, neck, and shoulders

Ma critique nโest pas sur le produit mais sur Amazon. Lโoreiller semble adรฉquat pour le besoin mais jโai commandรฉ la couleur orange, jโai reรงu la bleue. Dโautant plus que la photo de lโoreiller sur la boรฎte est clairement bleue. Dรฉcevant! Je dois garder la bleue car pas le temps de retourner pour un รฉchange, besoin dans quelques jours :(

When I received the first pillow it seemed defective. It looked like it might have been returned. The box was dented. No instructions. It was very hard to inflate. I was able to get some air in. It was really difficult to get a seal between my lips and the valve. I thought I was doing something wrong. Turns out it was defective (I got a replacement that inflated as expected (see below).The three-step 'instructions' on the box includes #2 that says 'read the instructions on the box'. Yet there were no other instructions in nor on the box. I went to the website and the instructions weren't much better - they just say 'inflate the pillow'. To be fair, had I not received the defective one first, I would have inflated it fairly easily and never even looked for instructions.You inflate it by blowing in the valve. It's not 'two breaths' although I'm not a competitive free diver - maybe four. It does not come with an inflation bag like the sleeping pads do. I also have a Gear Doctors sleeping pad that comes with an inflation bag and that bag works on the pillow.The pillow is very small and lightweight. When deflated and in it's bag, it fits in the palm of your hand.It comes with a strap that can be looped around your sleeping pad so that it stays in place. I wound up not using it. It is somewhat not-slip so it more or less stays in place on the sleeping pad.I was concerned about sleeping on a plastic pillow but somehow, you don't sweat. I still wrapped it in a cotton t-shirt. It is a little more comfortable that way. I also removed the strap because either in the t-shirt or just 'bare' it doesn't move around that much. The pillow and the sleeping pad make some crinkling noise. Not super loud. I could hear neighboring campers rolling over on their pads, too, and the Gear Doctors products weren't any louder.When I contacted customer service about the inflation problem, they were very responsive and sent out a replacement. The replacement was much easier to inflate.for $15 you can't go wrong.

This is one of my favourite pieces of camp gear we tried camping with just cloths as a pillow and realized how terrible that was. Bought two different ones one for my husband and one for myself. Gear doctors is so much better, the curve, the strap and it never deflates. Packs up easily and is so small and portable. I have also washed it in my machine with a bra bag on delicate came out beautifully

I just spent a week sleeping on a wooden plank for a bed. I had a camping mattress that kept deflating on me, but this pillow was so perfect that it at least saved my neck. If it weren't for this pillow, my week would have been ruined. Weighs nothing, comes with a carrying bag, easy to inflate to the exact pressure you find comfortable, and inexpensive, but high quality. I didn't have to reinflate it once while i was there. We need more products like this!

Perfect camping pillow! Easy to pack on my back country adventure and extremely easy to inflate/deflate. Held air with zero leaks! Smart design with strap to hold in place on mattress as it stayed where I needed it to all night. It has grip on underside and is coated on top side so was super comfortable to lay on. I didn't even use a pillow case.I liked it so much I initially bought 3 and after using them bought 4 more. Amazing price for the quality would definitely recommend!

I bought this hoping it would be perfect for backpacking and it is!! Super lightweight and packs small and relatively flat, and an easy 5 second blow-up, super comfortable and didn't leak at all. I used it for 4 days through-hiking the Juan du fuca trail in BC and I'm so happy I didn't pay for a more expensive brand or a cheaper quality factory Amazon product. Gear Doctors is a small business run by a sweet guy named Mike, so thank you Mike for making a great product for a fair price!

I really love this inflatable pillow! I like to have multiple pillows when I sleep and when camping that is not always a reasonable thing to carry with you for space and weight. This pillow packs up so tiny and weighs pretty much nothing, as well has the strap which makes it stay in place and that's pretty nifty!Talking multipurpose - my pup loves to lay on something in the canoe and initially I thought that I would be able to use it as a seat cushion in my canoe but it was a little too squishy and didnt give me the core support in that way - so I stole the blanket from my pup to roll up and gave her the pillow to lay on and she loved it! It's also super durable and her nails didn't even scratch it.This will 100% be a staple in my camping gear - highly recommend!

I had a travel pillow of similar shape, size, and design that was fine for the random night in a tent here and there, but this one has several fine-tuned touches that made it worth the upgrade. My other pillow was similarly lightweight, folded down small, & easy to inflate/deflate - BUT had no strap for securing it to anything, no carrying case, no grippy dots, no little pin to easily release a bit of air (itโs actually shocking how annoying/difficult this is without the pin), and didnโt come with a repair patch. So when Iโd use my old one as a road-trip passenger or on an airplane, for example, it would often wiggle away from me over time and end up on the floor- getting various gunk on it and then Iโd have to shove it into my bag with the rest of my stuff (Iโm not particularly neurotic about cleanliness but it was pretty gross at times). The rubber grip dots really help, but the strap is probably the most impactful improvement. No more waking from a nap with a crick in my neck and an unknown sticky substance on my pillow. I inflate it fully when using it as my pillow at night while backpacking, and enjoy using it maybe about 50% inflated as a lumbar support in the car/plane - or even when Iโm sitting on the couch at home if my backโs feeling sore! Really durable, thoughtfully made product & its utility makes it totally worth the price.

I've inflated and deflated it many times without a leak. I am a truck driver and use this pillow 4 or 5 times per week for my rest breaks. I don't always use the same truck and the compact size helps me pack everything out after my trip. I've put enough wear and tear on it to equal 3 canoe trips and it still holds air like it's new. It will withstand any canoe trip and I can't wait until my spring trip!The valve is really neat. The big opening deflates the pillow instantly so you can put it away in seconds. No fiddling with it trying to squeeze it out a tiny valve.The soft coating on the top is comfortable but easy to clean.

Forget Camping!!! (I am sorry to all your campers) I brought this inflatable pillow to use at our resort vacation and it was perfect! The material is very strong, inflates and deflates quickly. It took many Margarita and Cerveza spills like a champ because itโs easy to clean and quick dry. The smartest part of this pillow is that it has an elastic band strap as well as some rubber dot backing which helps it stay in place. I mean, weโve all been there, trying to fashion something in to a pillow, but to have it fall away when we shift or get up. I also used this in the plane in place of a neck pillow by having it not fully inflated. The Pillow folds flat for easy storage and is a good size when inflated. I could just store it like a notebook in my backpack. Posting some pic for sizing. I was the envy of many resort vacationers whom all wanted one for their next resort adventure. To be honest, this pillow will be coming with me on business and personal trips. Itโs just very lite and versatile item for any travel(planes, trains, and automobile). I owe two. - Simon S

The Gear Doctor's inflatable camping pillow is a major upgrade from my Klymit Pillow X that I've had for years!! Gear Doctor's pillow is overall a better product from the material, quality, price, and technology. Unfortunately due to the current pandemic and situation, I have yet to put this pillow into action during my camping/outing adventures.Below are key features while comparing it to Klymit's Pillow X.-Portable & minimal: This product is easily accessible, ultralight, and simple to use! When decompressed, the pillow can basically fit into your pocket!-Easy inflate/deflate function: The pillow takes about 2-3 breathes to fully inflate, and about a second to fully deflate. One feature I enjoy of Gear Doctor compared to the pillow x, is that the tab to blow air into the pillow is not sticking out and is flushed within the pillow. The pillow x has the tab out which is an inconvenience when packing the pillow and especially when sleeping. (see pictures of comparison)-Great material: The pillow where you rest your head on comprises of a high quality soft (nylon-like) material, compared to the pillow x's polyester material that is very uncomfortable. The pillow x makes a lot of noise while laying down, and the Gear Doctor's pillow is surprisingly quiet!-Anti-slip technology: This is a great innovation for this pillow as it provides stability and comfortability compared to the pillow X. The pillow x is made up of polyester that is easily moved around while sleeping and creates no friction with my sleeping bag. One of the most annoying features from Klymit's pillow X.-A detachable strap: Unlike the pillow x, Gear Doctor provides a detachable strap that's convenient for hanging the pillow to your tent, hammock, or bag.-Large & ergonomic: As portable and small this pillow can be, it provides a great amount of surface area to lay your head on. The pillow is extremely ergonomic and comfortable for the neck and head.-Color options: Gear Doctor provides many color options to choose from!! I'm a sucker for orange, and it provides better visibility of the pillow during night time.Overall:I rate this product a 10/10, and would recommend over the Klymit's Pillow X. I highly recommend this product for campers, back packers, travelers and adventurers. This is a necessity and investment for your outing/traveling gear collection. This product provides needed rest while out exploring. I am extremely happy of this upgrade over the pillow X and look forward to using more of Gear Doctor's product.

I decided to give this Ultralight backpacking pillow a try after trying another brand that I did not like much. The shape of the pillow is nice and I don't feel like my head is going to roll off of it if I change positions. It has little "grips" on the back to keep it from sliding around but they don't really work against my sleeping pad/tent floor. There's also a strap which I slid around my sleeping pad to try to keep it in place but my 1/2 pad was too thin for it to be any use. The pillow is heavier than other UL pillows but it seems durable and like I mentioned it has a nice size/shape. I am ok with the extra weight while car camping but I am not sure I would want to take it on an extended backpacking trip. One thing I appreciate is that it does not make a ton of noise when I am moving around. It does not have that annoying "squeeky" plastic sound some camping pillows have. The pillow is easy to inflate and holds air well. It comes with a little plastic needle to adjust the air but I have not had to use it yet. It also allows you to attach the needle to the pillow but I chose not to because I felt like it was one more thing to add weight and also could puncture/rip the pillow or my other gear. I also like that there are a few color options to choose from. My favorite way to use the pillow is after a long hike while laying around the campsite. I put it down on a blanket and it's so much more comfortable than having my head on the ground. Overall I do like this pillow, it has some nice features that other backpacking pillows don't have but those features make it heavier than some of the competitors. I think this pillow is great for travel, outdoor trips close to home, or a backpacker that isn't trying to carry a super light load. My biggest issue is with the weight of the pillow; it is heavier than I expected but that is honestly my biggest issue. My favorite thing is the variety of colors, the quietness of the material, and that the shape fits my head nicely. I would recommend this pillow to anyone just getting into UL backpacking or a backpacker who wants a little more luxury from their pillow.

Updated- 7/5/2020Honestly, I am beyond impressed by this pillow! I went camping over the holiday weekend and took my inflatable pillow. It was so comfortable to use at night and it fit snugly into the headspace on my sleeping bag. I even used it for extra support/comfort in my hammock. The pillow held air ALL night! I didn't have a problem with air loss or any types of leak. Must have!! I will be buying more for the family!I decided to buy this inflatable pillow for my camping trips. I was tired of lugging around my pillow from home and it took up unnecessary space. This pillow is extremely lightweight and small. When it is deflated, it's about the size of a soda can, maybe smaller. It'll fit perfectly in my bag for backpacking without the added weight and without taking up too much room. It took about 2-3 full breaths to fill it up with air and feels extremely comfortable to lay on. It is soft and also has a strap to wrap around a sleeping pad, if you have one. I tested the pillow out in my house and it stayed inflated the entire night. I can probably even put this in my hammock for more comfort. Overall, this is a great, reliable product to have while camping.
