In short
Good for
- Side sleepers who like a firm pillow with a soft cover
- Three-season backpacking where about 100 g for a pillow is acceptable
Strengths

- 10 cm tall by the brand (9 cm as measured by Live for the Outdoors), enough for side sleeping
- Brushed base helps it grip a mat
- Two-way valve and an elasticated stuff sack included
Weaknesses
- Internal air bag is crinkly and noisy (Live for the Outdoors)
- Hard to find the right firmness: either hard or too much head movement
- Live for the Outdoors could not take the cover off for washing, though the brand says it comes off
- Stuff sack has an elastic mouth with no drawcord
- The brand gives no packed size
- Only one independent test found
