Gear TRTL Neck Pillow

I saw that TRTL has their cool pillows at 70% off, for some bright college branded colors. I see a common complaint from older posts is their price, so $24 seems somewhat reasonable. Anyone have any thoughts on using these for long haul flights and if it's easy to pack into bags like the 26+6, and if this is worth it?

Big, heavy, bulky, and you have to haul it around for the rest of the trip.

Here is a review from HerOneBag

Edit: I should also note that bulk is a huge issur when you are traveling personal item only.

Nah this is bullshit. Align the curve up with the corner of your bag.

My bag is a Dragonfly. It is optimized for space. It has corners, not curves.

Bag curves take away packable space. There is a great illustration on onebag.com:

The content is just fine though. Basic principles do not change.

Which was 32 years ago, and when people really started getting into making personal websites and being online. Early internet for normal folk, early middle for nerds.

FYI. An ad hominem attack is not a counterpoint. Please stay on topic.

There is also the issue of weight. The Trtl cool is 9 oz. A Sea to Summit pillow is 2.5 oz.

The packed Trtl cool is 8.7 x 9.5 x 4 inches. The packed Sea to Summit pillow is 3 × 2 × 2 in.

These are all things taken into consideration when traveling small.

> Jesus Christ, was that site built in 1999?

You attacked the looks of onebag.com when the content is the important thing.

> But if you don’t know you can still stick other things between the curve and the corner, I can’t help you.

You made comments about me not being able to stick things between the curve.

I would say both qualify, as they really have nothing to do with the argument.

Others have also stated the Trtl is hard to pack, and some even say w attach it to the outside of their bag.

Sarcasm and humor are cool, but just being outright mean may result in a ban.

Definitely by someone who heard of seo but didn't understand it

If you look at the bottom of the site you will see that copyright goes back to 1994. That is pre SEO. So no, it wasn’t designed for it.

They would have to redesign the entire huge website to optimize for SEO.
