Nemo Equipment Fillo Elite Pillow

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 14:32:08 +0000

The award-winning Fillo Elite backpacking pillow brings clever design to an often-overlooked piece of gear: the humble camp pillow. Fillo Elite is the ultralight version of our award-winning Fillo. At a fraction of the weight (less than 3 oz) and packed size, it still offers impressive height and cushion despite its ethereal weight.

NEMO decided to bring clever design and luxurious attention to an often-overlooked piece of gear, the backpacking pillow, which is essential to a comfortable night’s sleep. They designed the Fillo Elite with a layer of 100% post-consumer recycled Primaloft® insulation, combined with a 3inch I-beam baffled air cell and an ultra-soft jersey cover. The result is a pillow that cradles your head nicely, yet packs down as small as a Kefir lime.

And while the Fillo Elite is amazing for backpacking, it’s just as great for other adventures. You can bring it on an airplane or long road trip, use it as everyday lumbar support, or keep it stashed in your pocket for an emergency nap.
