Function
It blows up easy and deflates just the same. It rolls up into a provided stuff sack or, you could shave a couple grams by just throwing it in your pack.
One side as a soft, velvety, feel to it and the pillow is contoured for your head and neck. Overall, it feels relatively durable.
Based upon my food scale and a ruler:
Weight: 84 g / 2 7/8 oz (including stuff sack)
Size: 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" (Packed) / 16" x 12" x 4" (Inflated)

Form
The pillow is offered in a variety of colors. Other than that, it's as sexy as a pillow can be!
Fit
For me, the pillow is just about the right size. I think it could be a bit smaller and still be just as functional. I certainly don't think it needs to be any bigger.
Funds
I found the pillow as under $11.00 shipped to your door. There are a few other lightweight pillows that cost less (and weigh less) but, reviews indicate that they are not as durable and to me they look more like a gallon plastic bag (which I've tried and didn't like).
Relative to other pillows very comparable to the Trekology inflatable pillow, it's quite a bit cheaper. In my opinion, this is a pretty good value.

Follow Up (Customer Service/Support)
After purchasing this pillow I got an e-mail from "the owner" of Trekology thanking me for the purchase and to ensure I was happy with the process and address any questions/concerns. A pretty generic form type letter. But, a nice touch nonetheless.
Trekology claims "Get a sound sleep Or Your Money Back!" The "Return & Refund Policy" reads "30 day 100% money back guarantee!"

Final Thoughts
This is a fairly light weight option for a pillow that won't take up much room in your pack.
I really like the valve on this pillow. It has a little check valve that allows you to add air without air escaping between breaths.
If you're counting grams this pillow may not be for you (you probably shouldn't be carrying a pillow if you're a gram weenie). But, if you want the luxury of a pillow in the backcountry but, you're still mindful of ounces, this pillow from Trekology is worth a look.
