PackPillow is the world's first multifunctional travel pillow
The hiking season has long been open, and therefore, until it's cold, you have to have time to enjoy the good weather in the mountains with your friends or family. The most important rule of hiking is the proper equipment and minimum of things, since they will need to be borne for themselves. If you walk with a heavy backpack behind the shoulder of the plain - "pleasure", below the average, then in the mountains the burden on the shoulders is approximately doubled. What does a tourist have to take with himself, in addition to the necessary things? Pillow, soft seat, small bag for things, etc. Moreover, what would you say if there was a universal thing that successfully replaced all this? The American company High MeadowGear from Mountain View has invented a PackPillow pillow that combines a small backpack, a sleeping pillow and an airproof resting seat during long-term transitions.
Features of the novelty
The main rule of a successful campaign is to carefully think over all the trivia and get rid of everything unnecessary. After all, in addition to things, you will carry a sleeping bag, a carriage, dishes, a first aid kit, and, possibly, a tent. Moreover, if the trip involves a river flood or climbing into the mountains, then the amount required is greatly increased. Then you will need waterproof clothes (at least a bag for equipment and documents that cannot be soaked in water), equipment, changing shoes, etc. In addition, this increases the weight of the backpack. That is why the world now has a tendency toward multifunctionality and a reduction for equipment needed to be carried on its shoulders.
At a time when the usual cushion takes a lot of space in the backpack, the novelty uses it rationally, because it can make the necessary things. This is also due to the shape of a pillow made specifically to fit in the travel patterns of backpacks. The soft filler is sewn to the back of the cover, which has a zipper and a wide breast-band to be worn over the shoulder. In this way, it does not fit tightly against the pillow, making it possible to use it as a small backpack.
The outer side of the novelty is made of durable nylon fabric with a rip-stop weaving, which gives it stability to all the burdens of the original life. Such a sheath also has the properties of waterproofing. There is simply no need for day trips with new places in a big backpack. It can be left in the camp, taking only PackPillow with you. The total volume of the pillow is 6 liters, which allows you to put inside a bottle of water, alternating (or top) clothing, lunch or light snack. It is equipped with a hole for removing the tube of the hydration system, which will add freedom of movement, without the need for stops to drink, on the road. A wide breast-band has received an external patch pocket, which easily fit a smartphone, or a small equipment for photo or video.
If you want to use it as a small seat-bed, then simply release the cover from the things there (if any), close the zipper and use it to sit and rest during the trip. Before bedtime, you need to twist the curtain with an outsider side and safely lie on it. The fact is that from the openings a soft, pleasant to the touch, knitted fabric is used. Therefore, it will be comfortable to sleep on it. The outside securely protects the inner part, so it will not get wet and dirty, even if the streets will pour a shower or go snowfall.
Dimensions in the novelties are small - 35,5 * 25,5 * 10 cm (width * length * height at the highest point). Its weight is only 127 g. At the same time, the buckle is detached, since it is attached to the carbines, and if it is not necessary for you, it can be left at home. Although, its weight is only 56 g, which will not affect the total weight of your backpack. With the shape of a flattened on one side of the bean, PackPillow allows you to use it not only for its intended purpose, but also successfully replace a few essential things in the campaign, taking up little space at the same time.
