Get Out GearDown Camping Blanket - Puffy, Packable, Lightweight and Warm | Ideal for Outdoors, Travel, Stadium, Festivals, Beach, Hammock | 650 Fill Power Water-Resistant Backpacking Quilt

I have been so impressed with the quality, ultralight weight and warmth of this down blanket that I have been using it in place of my sleeping bag for camping. It is perfectly adequate just by itself for warmer nights, but with a few simple modifications, it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the air is 45 degrees F. I'm looking forward to testing it in even colder temperatures next fall. I have found that in cooler weather, the secret is to use this blanket as a camping quilt, so that you lay it OVER you, tucking the sides under your body. Camping quilts have become very popular with ultralight hikers, and their great versatility gives several advantages over sleeping bags. You can Google these if you're not familiar. Of course, an adequate sleeping pad under you is essential, just as with any sleeping bag. (Note: the blanket is shipped tightly compressed, and it may require several days or longer for the down to fully expand. Be sure to keep it in a roomy storage bag when it's not being used.)I found it beneficial to create a footbox with plastic snaps. This helps to prevent the light and slick blanket from sliding off while you are sleeping, and your feet stay quite warm. You can easily reconfigure to the open blanket if desired. The blanket has three snaps already installed that you can incorporate into the footbox, but a few more must be added. I found everything I need for $21 at the popular auction site: item # 201831863852. The kit includes K2 pliers, instructions, and size 22 KAM SNAPS (identical to the snaps on the blanket). Very easy to install, but be sure to carefully plan the placement of the snaps. Hopefully my photos will be helpful. BTW, adding several more snaps allows the joining of two blankets, which can still be used with or without footboxes. So many possibilities!To make the quilt even warmer, I have added a washable sleeping bag liner which can also be used by itself on warm nights. In cool weather, lie inside the liner and pull the quilt over you, with your feet in the liner inserted into the footbox. When it's even colder, use the quilt INSIDE the liner. Then, when you zip up the liner, it will close off air gaps and help to keep the quilt positioned around you. It works very well. I got the Vumos liner on Amazon for $18 with coupon, and it has been perfect. A long zipper allows it to open up, and, like the blanket, it is plenty roomy for me at 6' tall. And the Vumos has a wide hem at the edge under your chin, allowing for the simple installation of a draw cord to gather the liner and quilt snugly around your neck and shoulders when it's cold.Voila! An incredibly light and versatile sleeping bag/quilt system for use from late spring to early fall, total weight less than 2lbs, very compactable, and for around $100. I have bought three of these blankets from Get Out Gear; two for gifts, and the service has been outstanding.

This down blanket is perfect for winter nights when you don't want a heavy covering. Cuddly, pretty, lightweight and warm.

I love this blanket because it is light weight but warm. The price is right, and it is well made. This is the third or fourth one I've purchased. Two I gave as gifts. easy wash and dry. This one is near my reading chair and gets a lot of use.

I have a crazy medical condition where sometimes I need to lay on the ground for a bit, I carry this everywhere I go and it has helped me tremendously. Super light weight and it keeps you warm. Initially looks flat but it does puff up. I’m def going to be buying more. All my friends have used it and love it. Only reason I took a star off is some of the stitching came loose. But no biggie really.

I have a couple of Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer puffy jackets and I really like them; lightweight but warm. That's exactly what this blanket is like. It's perfect for a sleeping bag add-on, or on the bed when one wants a little light weight added insulation v heavy a heavy blanket or for a quick mid-day nap. I haven't done it yet but I could see carrying this in a on-board bag for sleeping on long international flights. It compresses down to an easy carry-on size and is lightweight.

My husband is thrilled with this blanket. He says it's very warm! It comes in this small casing but opens to a nice size! Good value!

I waited a year to review this product. I camp roughly 100 days a year. In that time, I've used it on multiple backpacking and car camping trips and it has performed splendidly. This morning, I'm in Grand Teton. It is 36°. I used the blanket last night in combination with a Big Agnes Air Core insulated mattress and slept warm all night. Yesterday, with same gear, I slept comfortably at 32° in Yellowstone. I would probably call that (low 30s) the lower comfort limit for the product, but that's pretty impressive in my book. If you're a cold sleeper, that limit might be 40s for you. It packs up small, about the size of a Nalgene bottle, and weighs less than the air mattress I use it with. It's got plenty of down fill, and, although I don't recall what the fill power is, it is sufficient, and you can see the down when you hold the blanket up to a light.Water resistance is not a topic I can address, except to say that I keep the blanket in a lightweight, submersible dry bag so that I don't have to find out how water resistant the outer material is. I have some of other high end down items with hydrophobic down and the like, but it never seemed like a good idea to see just how wet any of it could get before it became completely useless.You can spend hundreds on warmer, cottage or big brand down blankets, no doubt. I dont know that you will find a comparable one at this price point. This is an excellent piece of gear that has held up well.

I really like to support this company which has right now as a product just this one and a puffier, but synthetic filled, blanket. The presentation is superb and the blanket looks so inviting. It is not as puffy in reality.It is definitely warm and very pleasant to touch. It is also light, great advantage in a backpack, but it is also a disadvantage; for warm feeling a blanket needs to be weighted down a bit.The best use might be to have these ready in a cabin, where they can be useful as ad-hoc warmers, even with the poncho idea. For hiking, this is not such a universal item. A light sleeping bag and several layers of clothing would be my preference. And while sitting around a camp fire with one of those over shoulders sounds great, I have seen a lot of similar shells burnt through by a flying ember.I am not giving up on this blanket, though. It turns out to be excellent as a second blanket over my comforter in a bedroom, where the miserly housing association keeps the heat down with no access to the controls. There it works as charm.

This compact duvet is perfect for travel. I hook it to my carry-on luggage and use it as a pillow on the plane and as an extra layer of warmth in bed in the hotels. I have even used it for roadside naps while traveling for work. It washes well with all my laundry lumped in together and goes in the dryer, then back in its little carrying case. Its light weight and portability is perfect for working away from home in both summer & winter months. I highly recommend it for anyone that travels. 👍👍

This thing couldn't keep you warm in any temperature. Totally useless as a blanket. No fill as I can rub the fabric and feel my fingers thru the fabric. Don't waste ur time or money. Highly misleading photo , mine never puffed up like the one in the pictures.

Great light weight and packable down blanket that keeps you toasty warm.

Funciona a la perfección, es justo lo que necesitaba y los botones son algo adicional que me funcionó muy bien, el precio es un poco elevado pero vale la pena

Seems very thin when first unpacked, but...leave it 24 hours and it will really fluff up. I'm guessing mine had been compressed for a long time before it was delivered to me, hence the time it took to loft. This is not really a practical sleep solution except perhaps on the warmest summer night in the UK. However it is excellent as a wrap for sitting around the campfire or even just watching TV on the sofa on a chilly night. It's light, compact, soft, comfortable and very warm. Absolutely love it.
