Travel Gear: Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow

Grand Trunk’s cozy U-shaped travel pillow doesn’t stop at the neck. It’s also a hoodie — minus the jacket.

A roomy soft fleece hood is sewn to the outer perimeter of the fleece-covered memory foam neck ring, providing extra warmth for your head — and blocking out light if duck your head in deeper and tighten the integrated drawstring. The pillow has an adjustable cord lock at the chin to get the fit just right; a little patch pocket sewn into the side of the pillow can hold ear buds, some bills, or even a credit card.

When you’re ready to pack up the pillow, just squish it down into the hood and cinch the drawstring tight around it, and you’ve got a little parcel that slides into the included stuff sack. The packed pillow provides nice cushioning, too.

Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow in black, red, green, or gray is about $40 at grandtrunk.com.
