Finally!

Finally a pillow made for a sleeping bag that won't slide out! Through extra clothes in my pillow (my puffy or Kifaru Weebie blanket) and used in backcountry 10 days. It was a game changer. Wife used on final night and somehow broke the buttons. How I could go 10days straight no issues and she ripped them off is beyond me. Contacted Argali and they fixed everything right away. Big fan of Argali and their products!

Much better than an inflated pillow. A comfortable pillow when you’re tired, sore and pushing it is a game changer.

The only pillow to buy!

I’ve been searching for the perfect backpacking pillow for years having tried about a dozen inflatable ones. No further pillow experimenting needed, this one solves all problems. I can now say I found the perfect backpacking pillow. Well done developing this product, guys!

Awesome idea, works great.

Saw this pillow review on a @theoutdoorempire on youtube. My old inflatable pillow just died and wanted to try a different type. Its pretty awesome and works as intended. Its a simple design, and build very well.

Love this pillow! As someone who has been stuffing jackets into nasty dry bags for years, finally a product worth it's weight. Soft and the perfect size with a puffy jacket. The integration into the Argali bag is great but you don't need it to love this pillow. I'm not going into the mountains without it.

Great take on a pack pillow.

I’ve tried quite a few pillows over the years, thermarest, inflatable, use a stuff sack and this one fits my needs. Packing it with a fleece gave it the perfect fill, and it’s not noisy and I was able to fold it in half nicely for side sleeping. I also found the soft fabric to be the right about of comfort. Nice work on this one.

Great pillow

I’m a terrible backcountry sleeper but found this pillow stuffed with a single baselayer and ultralight inflatable pillow has given me the best sleep. While archery hunting I’m usually sleeping in most of my clothing and down puffy leaving me w little clothing to stuff in the Elite Dream pillow, but the above combo makes it super comfortable with just the right thickness

As expected

This compact pillow is awesome!

Light weight & Durable!

Love this pillow! Light weight, durable & easy to stuff your down jacket or vest inside for more lift. The outside of the pillow is very soft, but can be on the warm side. Also, the stuff sac is not attached to the pillow. After sleeping on a heavier blow up pillow for years, I made the switch to Argali and it has been a dream come true. :-)

Best Backcountry Pillow

I've used a handful of backcountry pillows by sea to summit and big Agnes. This pillow is hands down the most comfortable. I put my mid layer or puffy in it when I go to bed and it's the perfect loft.

Elite Dream is the Perfect Name

Elite Dream is the perfect name to describe this pillow. Put a puffy inside and slept great. Packs up small and is very light. Looking forward to continued use over the years.

I honestly figured this was just over hyped by influencers. I was wrong. Every other pillow in the gear closet might as well be trash. I’m blown away at how simple and comfortable this thing is.

Great Pillow. Just as advertised.

I just received my Argali pillow and was able to use it last weekend. It performed exactly as the description says it would. I stuffed it with my puffy and it was perfect. I am a side sleeper and this pillow will improve my sleep in the back country a ton.

Absolutely love this pillow. Works perfect with my Essential Gear Torrid Jacket. And I slept like a baby. knocked off a star because one of the buttons came off on my 2nd night of use on the trail. Hopefully I can sew it back on.

Awesome product

Awesome product. Light and packs down small, but throw a fleece or light jacket inside and it’s nearly as comfy as my pillow at home. And it can’t get an air leak like other backcountry pillows

Super impressed!

I've struggled for about 10 years to find a pillow. I'm a swoll 200-210lb dude who side sleeps. I can never find something thick enough that works. The giant Nemo pillow is awesome but it's huge and heavy. This thing is great. Its soft top is great. And you always have a puffy garment or something to stuff into it.

The best I've tried

and I've tried a lot of them. I'm a hunting guide and outfitter. I spend a lot of nights in a tent. If there's a "lightweight" backpacking pillow out there, I've tried it. The Elite Dream is the best lightweight pillow I've used. It's soft, packable and makes use of clothing I've already packed.

Love it!

I’ve tried numerous outdoor/camping/backpacking pillows over the years and this is the lightest, most comfortable, and most convenient one I’ve found. I roll up my puffy jacket and place it inside and have the best pillow possible outside of the organic ones I have at home. Great job!

Better than others on the market

I was really impressed with the packability and comfort of this pillow. I’ve owned several other backpacking style pillows on the market, but I really appreciate the ability to stuff it with clothing and the packability this pillow has. Super comfortable!

Best pillow on the market

This thing is incredible. The down topper is legit and you can fill the body out as much or as little as you want. It’s an absolutely perfect piece of gear.
