What’s the difference between the ORLÉMUR UTC and the ORLÉMUR UTC LIGHT?

The back of the product is where you can really see the differences.

The ORLÉMUR UTC is the original model, designed for frequent travelers. It features the Multi-Function Cord System on the back.

The ORLÉMUR UTC LIGHT is exactly the same as the UTC in terms of dimensions and fabric — which is why the two models look so similar from the front — but without the Multi-Function Cord System.

This versatile cord system lets you adjust the pillow's firmness and comfort, or attach it to an airplane headrest to keep it from slipping behind your back when you lean forward, for example to eat.

The cord also allows you to transform the pillow into a pouch that can be hung almost anywhere or even worn crossbody, keeping your hands free when you need it.

The ORLÉMUR UTC also features bright, high-visibility zipper pulls that make it easy to spot your belongings at a glance, even in the dark bottom of your bag. They're elastic and removable, so they can also be used to wrap up a charging cable or even as an emergency hair tie.

The ORLÉMUR UTC LIGHT was introduced after the original UTC in response to demand from people who loved the product but didn't necessarily need it for travel.

At the Concours Lépine exhibition (International inventions competition) during the Paris Fair, visitors who tried it at the ORLÉMUR booth discovered that it was also very comfortable on virtually any reclining seat at home — whether a Stressless®-style recliner, a lounge chair, a sun lounger, or even at the beach.

For people who mainly use the product at home and don't travel frequently, the Multi-Function Cord System is less essential. That's why I created the ORLÉMUR UTC LIGHT: the same comfortable, versatile design, without the cord system, and weighing just 10 grams (0.35 oz) less than the original ORLÉMUR UTC.
