Down Blanket.

[Wayne]

Sometimes I want to have the freedom of just a blanket when I’m out about. Plus I like the versatility of a blanket over a sleeping bag.

I know PHD do good blankets but their prices are a little outside my ability to pay.

Any ideas?

Tony had one from CostCo I was looking at on Tuesday, quite uncanny as I've just clicked off the Alpkit sale after looking at theirs only to see you post this.

I have an Alpkit Cloud Cover , I like it and it seems warm although it hasn't been fully used in anger .........
Good value for money imo

Maybe a bit simplistic but if I'm not needing the 'toastiness' factor I'll unzip a sleeping bag and use it as a blanket/wrap around.

Same, more options with a bag than a blanket.

The down blanket I got from costco is a little lightweight, although I do think it's a good blanket, it's not quite big enough to cover me unless i bring my legs up and I've not used it outdoors in the cold but for what it is and the packsize it's great, I keep it about as my emergency blanket.

There's the Rakin outdoor blanket, it's a 5v battery powered blanket, could be good as it runs off of a simple battery pack

I use the black diamond throw from May to Sept instead of a bag, works well but shop around as prices vary. Got mine for a penny short of a score last year. the snugpak jungle blanket is meant to be work a look as well although not down.

I’d like one of those in my van.

Looks good for rescue

Trusty poncho liner works well, light enough yet handy for that just in case moment
