Get Out Gear Down 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 blanket is so soft, cozy, and warm. I love it & so does everyone I’ve let use it! We don’t only use it for camping but it is great for that. It even has snaps so you can secure it around yourself.

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 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.

Perfect size, weight, and versatility!

Very lightweight packs down small but is very warm great for camping might be a little bit expensive but you get what you pay for quality

I started off, absolutely loving this blanket. It fit my need for sporting events, sitting outside on a chilly night, sitting in a cool car in the mornings for carpool. However, after the third time I washed it and dried it, it developed some holes. I reread the tag and it said that I could do both. I tried to reach out to the company prior to posting this review, but have not heard anything back from them. Thus the reason for my review from love to disappointment.***I am updating this review***I reached out to Get Put Gear and told them of my issue and they replaced my blanket. In the mean time, I ordered another blanket from a different company - however, I prefer my GOG blanket bc it is so light weight and takes up so little room on the go. It has kept me warm and I LOVe how light weight it is.

I do enjoy this blanket. Decent price or packs down small for the warmth. But some of the pockets are completely empty with zero loft as you can clearly tell in photos while some are puffed and other are not.I store all my down gear loosely on hangers so it’s not from me packed too long.!Just simply better quality control would make this a 5 star product.

Size and weight as described. Fluffed up nicely in dryer. Very easy to put back into the bag and when taking out again it is still fluffy (not as flat as when delivered). As thick as one can expect for this weight. Didn't use it outside yet. Warm enough to sleep in house at 15 degrees celcius.

Nothing

The picture makes it look warm a d fluffy however the down never puffed up. I was very cold in 8 degree weather in BC. At 15 degrees it was fine.

Extremely light, packs down very small. I got this for summer backpacking/camping in northern Ontario Canada. I recently used it where the temp went down to 9c (48f) and I was plenty warm in a one person tent with a sleeping pad (R value 3) and wearing base layers. Seams “seem” good but I wouldn’t put much faith in the water resistance that is claimed.

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
