Been trying to order this Fleece Pillow but it appears the company may have folded as I can’t make contact. I’ve also looked at ZPack’s pillow but don’t like the way it’s not fleece all the way around as I sleep with an arm under the pillow also.
So..before I make my own…anyone seen one that fits the bill of:
About 12×15…2 oz or lighter…Full fleece with closure to stuff with jacket etc…
Thanks all!

Mar 16, 2018 at 10:46 pm #3525052Interesting that you posted this as I am just about to make a LW pillow
But my fleece pillow case came from the big box store on sale and whole not really LW it is light enough that I take it in winter. I am however making my own winter pillow

Mar 16, 2018 at 11:38 pm #3525066I use a Nemo Fillo casing for the backcountry and the inflatable foam insert when car camping. The Nemo’s outer casing itself only weighs 1.72 oz. There is fleece on the back edges about 1.5-2” along the sides with a smooth nylon fabric in the center. I sleep with my arm under the pillow as well and find it just about perfect.

I have never carried pillow, ever. Just could not see carrying the extra weight so I use my clothes stuff sack.
