About this piece

For those who don't want to compromise extra weight and pack space to bring a pillow into the backcountry, your days of waking up with a stiff neck after sleeping on a rolled up down jacket are over. At a scant 1.6oz, the Rapide SL Pillow is the perfect backpacking companion, providing a good night's sleep while taking up about the size of an energy bar. The offset I-beam construction provides consistent stability, and the micro-adjust valve allows you to control how firm or soft your dreamy pillow should be, so you'll wake up ready to hit the trail.

About the artist

Bill Gamber named the company after a peak near Steamboat Springs where he spent countless nights camping.

Big Agnes now designs everything from sub-2-pound ultralight tents to car camping palaces, all from their Steamboat headquarters at 6,700 feet.
