Especially useful in the winter as you point out!<br /><br />@Maz - I use a 13l dry bag with my Golite sleeping bag so I can see that the added circumference helps.<br /><br />Both of course mean you get more NeoAir for your body!baz carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316818349601585501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-83514589867867488432010-12-27T10:43:05.241+00:002010-12-27T10:43:05.241+00:00I use a 13L Sea to Summit drybag which, as I use a...I use a 13L Sea to Summit drybag which, as I use a short Neo Air, sits on the ground (atop my SitLight pad which forms the back of my Gorilla pack) rather than the Neo Air itself. It does not slip much and works well enough. This is a rather good idea, however...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023592697740977989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-81567882752995655092010-12-11T15:09:17.269+00:002010-12-11T15:09:17.269+00:00I don't use a pillow but a stuff sack or dry b...I don't use a pillow but a stuff sack or dry bag with some clothes or waterproofs in (whatever I'm not wearing). I've always had the same problem with it sliding off.<br /><br />I'd heard about Colin Ibbotson using his shoes as a pillow, not seen it in action though. I decided to put my shoes directly above my NeoAir short and put my stuff sack pillow on top of the shoes, where my foot would go in and this generally stopped it sliding about. The added bonus on the last trip was it stopped my shoes freezing which is always a bugger and a bit more of my body was on the short NeoAir.<br /><br />I'm not sure I've explained that very well.Steven Hornerhttp://www.stevenhorner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-23405927611625166562010-12-10T19:24:42.230+00:002010-12-10T19:24:42.230+00:00I've been using a bit of shockcord around the ...I've been using a bit of shockcord around the pillow and mat, but this looks even better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-20269891436684661322010-12-10T12:24:13.861+00:002010-12-10T12:24:13.861+00:00Thanks for that Baz - Sounds like a plan!Thanks for that Baz - Sounds like a plan!Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-50430670093219043062010-12-10T11:45:03.845+00:002010-12-10T11:45:03.845+00:00I have always used a pillow case over various pill...I have always used a pillow case over various pillows I have used. Its a very small pillowcase and the pillows just squeeze in. I used the pillow case to keep the pillow clean - my head seems to emit lots of grease!<br />This year I have discovered the Exped Air Pillow - fantastic the only pillow that seems to work. So far have used for about 60 nights and its still ok - previous air pillows I have used have always quickly developed faults.<br />I'm not sure whether the pillow case stops the pillow moving about - I don't get movement problems too often. But I also put the pillow on a folded fleece as I like a bit of extra height.<br /><br />Like your blog - Peter HughesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186934073575198720noreply@blogger.com
