Nemo Fillo Elite Wide Pillow

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Fillo Elite Wide is big enough for proper head support and light enough for long-mile days.

Nemo says: 

When weight takes priority, comfort is often the first sacrifice — our Fillo™ Elite Wide backpacking pillow is here to refute that. This wider version of our award-winning backpacking pillow is ultralight (4 ounces!) and impressively comfortable. Plus, it helps provide the most crucial component of a successful backpacking trip: quality rest. Fillo Elite Wide is equipped with a baffled air cell on the inside to help it retain its shape and is padded with premium PrimaLoft® insulation for cushion. For comfort that rolls up as small as a soda can, Fillo Elite Wide earns its spot in a pack.

Our Verdict

At 96g, the Fillo Elite Wide feels like a full-sized pillow without tipping over into bulky territory. The wider profile makes a real difference if you move about in your sleep, and the baffled air structure keeps it stable without that ballooning feel. It’s insulated with a light synthetic fill, which softens the surface nicely.

The fabric cover is soft and removable for washing, and the integrated stuff sack is tidy and straightforward. I still wish NEMO would offer a built-in way to attach it to a mat, though slipping it inside a baselayer and stretching that over the pad works surprisingly well. Inflation is straightforward, and the micro valve makes it easy to fine-tune firmness.
