This blanket is suitable for use on both rainy and sunny days. This blanket is also made entirely of recycled materials, making it completely environmentally friendly.

Amazing versatile blanket. Keeps dirt and liquid off pretty well making it easy to toss around and clean if you really muck it up. The girlfriend loves wearing it like a big poncho with warm clothes underneath while camping as well. Cant go wrong adding one of these to the camping gear list

Despite having far larger dimensions than its competition, the SnugPak Jungle Survival Blanket is lightweight and portable. It comes with a stuff sack that also functions as a compression sack, saving you the cost of purchasing another accessory. The blanket is incredibly soft and will keep you warm for a long time. This warm blanket provides excellent value for money. This blanket is certainly needed for your camping trip.

I'm really excited how compact and lightweight the jungle blanket is,it fits good in my bug out bag, I didn't think twice for the price. I recommend the snugpak jungle blanket for backpacking camping or bugs out bag or just to have one, VERY GOOD 😊

The Down Puffy Blanket is made with high-quality 600-fill-power insulation that traps your body heat and keeps you comfortable. This product contains a 100 percent recyclable shell and traceable down insulation, which contribute to its longevity. Overall, the Rumpl Down Puffy Blanket is well-balanced considering its light and superior construction. This blanket is ideal for any wilderness camping trip.

We love our Rumpl! I bought it for winter backpacking trips for its warmth and compressibility, but like it so much we use it everyday. It’s great for lounging on the sofa or sitting at the computer.

The Nanoloft Puffy Blanket is made of a synthetic down substitute. The quilted panels of this lightweight blanket retain a lot of fluffy fill and perform similarly to down fill. When you press down on it, the internal fill compresses while also rising. This blanket is surprisingly warm for its little size. When you use this blanket to wrap your legs, you can instantly feel the heat trapped in them. You may use this blanket hands-free thanks to the attached “cape clip.” This function enables you to keep your hands free while wearing your blanket, enabling you to be warm while remaining active while exploring your campsite.

This blanket works well and is easy to pack and keep clean. Works well for keeping warm on a chilly day or night while out camping or hiking instead of using a sleeping bag. I've used this while out hammock camping with temperatures in the 60's and have been able to keep warm just fine.

If you’re looking for a lightweight blanket that’s both strong and durable, Kelty’s Bestie Blanket is a terrific option. Taffeta, a durable 75D polyester fabric with a silky smooth texture, is used on the outside. The inside is lined with a soft fleece that efficiently maintains heat. This blanket is more rectangular than square when used as a ground cover, enabling you to wrap it around you more securely or fit more people on it. The Bestie blanket easily sheds dirt, debris, and water, making it a great choice for camping in a range of weather conditions. It’s also exceptionally easy to wash since it’s thinner than other outdoor blankets.

This packs down so well and is super soft and durable. Great for long hikes or camping trips. I've only tested this in spring weather so I can't speak to it's warmth sub 35-40°F but could probably later well. Worked well for fireside warmth and ground cover when needing a break on long hikes. Highly recommend!

A double blanket may be a fun and useful solution for individuals who often camp as a couple. The Argo from Therm-a-Rest combines a reasonable price with large proportions for two people and practical warmth-trapping features. The drawcord at the bottom keeps the blanket in place and reduces drafts at your feet, while snap hooks on the sides enable it to be paired with another Therm-a-Rest blanket or quilt. It includes a built-in stuff pocket that doubles as a cushion and eliminates the need for a separate bag. Therm-a-Rest also managed to keep the weight down to an astounding 1 pound 10 ounces.

Already have a Stellar blanket that has been used for camping, travel and at home, just wanted the larger blanket for two. Great product that is warmer than you think for the weight and works with the Therm-a-Rest sleep system as well. Recommend.

Since the early 1900s, Pendleton has been weaving high-quality wool blankets, and its classic patterns and superior workmanship are hard to surpass. The Yakima Camp Blanket is a great option for anything from backyard events to van life and weekend getaways to the cabin. Rather than synthetic or down, the Pendleton’s signature wool structure is used, with a touch of cotton added for a delicate next-to-skin feel. The blanket has a high-end appearance and feels with an elegant striped pattern and nature-inspired patterns, and the wool is robust, naturally odor-resistant, and warm.

She hates being cold so I bought this for her. Now she snuggles with the blanket and not with me, as much. Didn't think that one out very well.

The Lowlands is basically two blankets in one: the inner is cushioned with synthetic insulation, and the outer has a tough and waterproof covering that efficiently sheds moisture, pet hair, and other debris. Even if a full bottle of water is poured on the blanket, the droplets will bead up and roll off the top without soaking into the cloth. If you choose to wrap up the sides around your legs for warmth, the soft and insulated top layer gives some flexibility.

An expensive blanket that is worth the cost. It is hands down the nicest, most utilitarian, and luxurious outdoors blanket I've ever used. I've taken it camping and used it on picnics. I love it. Just don't expect to take it backpacking!

If you want to feel like you’re wearing a giant puffy down jacket, Kelty’s Galactic Down Blanket won’t let you down. It’s as if you’re in the middle of a massive cloud. In addition to the lovely fluffy feel, the rough surface of each of the huge rectangular quilt pieces is velvety to the touch. This large blanket has a durable polyester shell that is easy to brush clean and weighs just 1.5 pounds. The stitching is of high quality overall. It has a solid aspect about it. Inside, the space is light and airy. This is a warm blanket that you’ll want to have around for a long time.

Dog stole the blanket from me lol. He expects it to sit on the couch for him when not camping and will sit and paw at it until I get it odd the camp shelf. Super warm and compact! Great for car camping or as an extra layer in the backpack.

The Stellar has a DWR finish over the elastic polyester fabric and high-quality synthetic insulation that packs down easily. A drawcord at the bottom traps warmth at your feet, and snap hooks at the borders allow you to match it with another Therm-a-Rest comforter or blanket. This blanket features a built-in stuff pocket that may be used to hold small objects like keys and a phone, eliminating the danger of losing a separate stuff bag.

This blanket is an all around great piece of gear to have. Can use it at home, camping, backpacking, as a pillow, with the Therm-A-Rest sleep system, as an extra layer, whatever you need it for. Recommend.
