Why is it that many backpackers still insist that a down jacket stuffed into a bag is somehow comparable to a purpose-built camping pillow? It’s not. You wouldn’t sleep on a jacket at home, after all, so why do it in a tent? Especially when you’re out for multiple nights — when getting quality sleep really matters. So don’t. Instead, sink into the super cosy Rapide SL pillow from Big Agnes. Weighing about as much as one egg, it packs down tiny, is super soft and comfortable, and can be inflated in just a few breaths. But the best bit? It’ll make sure you never get a stiff neck again.
Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
