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.

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 unboxed quilt evening if arrival, ruined from stuff sack, which of in air & let it sit in spare room. Next evening I got it & it puffed up beautifully! I purchased this this quilt for ultra light summer option to b used w my Nemo Short insulated RE.5 9 oz & Flex Mat R1.5 1lb 1.5 oz. Total Sleep System Weight 2 12.5. For cooler nights in spring & fall I'll use with my Vumos $20 sleeping liner 11oz; as temps drop off u stuff won't inside liner it'll keep u warmer. I can also pair it if needed on freezing nights w my 0° Down Outdoor Vitals quilt. It also fits perfectly in my packs brain to use as a pillow. I turned off my heat in house showing it to stop to o 57°F & stayed warm all night on my wool mattress. W heat at 60°F & ceiling fan on high I laid on couch w it stuffed around me as if camping & I was adjust too warm. I'll be heading out in winter hike in couple weeks for 3 nights on trail w current forecasted night temps 30-43°F & 2 nights in car. I'll post updated at that time. Pros - Budget Friendly - ultralight - great quality/ attention to detail - multi use; home, backpack, camp blanket, car camp, RV & perfect size to keep in car for emergency blanket (just don't keep in stuff sack!) Cons - water resistant down option not available at additional price point - Stuff sack needs a tab on bottom to slip ur finger thru for ease of pulling out quilt. Note: if u r inexperienced w using down I suggest u read up on it & learn about the different ways they r sewn & which is best for ur needs as well as how to care for ur down from storage, use, cleaning. These pictures of people hold quilt in light to see how much stuffing at seams is silly. Yes, when a quilt it nah is seen in this manner you'll always lose heat on seams no matter what stuffing is. If u want a 0°F quilt then u need to look at baffles. It'll also cost u $300-600. There needs to b sure around the down/ feathers & u for warmth. If the down is compacted there isn't any insulative value.

I purchased this for a recent overseas trip. We weren't camping, but we did stay with family a lot and sleeping arrangements were often a mattress on the floor so I purchased this as a back up. This blanket was a lifesaver! It was super warm and perfect on the plane as well. Highly recommend. Packs down into barely anything and I just clipped it on the outside of my backpack when flying so it was easy to access. Folding it and rolling it back up wasn't an issue - you could literally just stuff it inside the bag if you were in a pinch.

Légère et confortable ! Cependant en été si on dort en short et en T-shirt on a froid s’il fait 13° C. La température de confort est valable si on dort habillé plus chaudement. A part ça top !

This item is pretty perfect, apart from a bit of a dingy color. It is warm, snuggly and can be worn over the shoulders and has poppers. It is pretty light and it fits neatly in my 30l rucksack. I plan to use it in hostels where blankets may not be provided.

Muy fino y ligero pero calienta. Despues de comprar tenía dudas sobre su capacidad de guardar el calor así que no lo usé solo pero me encantaron los tachones y la posibilidad de convertirlo en una capa.

When i opened it i thought it was gonna be not enough but then i slept under it (it was over a summer liner sleeping bag) and honestly it is the first time i camper without being cold in the middle of the night. Love it. I consider buying a second one to make it a cheap duvet sleeping bag. Similar covers cost atleast double with the well known brands.
