Gear Up: Rumpl NanoLoft Blanket

Rumpl NanoLoft Blanket is the first synthetic alternative to down and the filling is made of 100 percent post-consumer recycled insulation.

What sets it apart?

This blanket is easily packed away and ready for extra warmth whenever the chill bites. The blanket comes in many different colors and can be used camping, fishing, hiking or hunting.

How do I use it?

Take the blanket out of its stuff sack and use it for warmth or as a picnic blanket. The slick outer materials make cleaning up dirt, dog hair and cracker crumbs easy. The NanoLoft insulation stays warm, even if there is an accidental coffee or juice spill. When you are done using it, just stuff it back in the sack and you are on your way.

How much?

$99-$179

Philip’s insight:

I know what you are thinking. “Over $150 for a blanket?!?” I understand, but the number one way a trip can be cut short for a family is unexpected cold. Having this blanket has come in handy on fishing, camping and hunting trips across the country. Waiting for breakfast by the campfire is a little more comfortable with the Rumpl. A deer stand can get cold before the sun rises. Wrap the Rumpl around your hunting buddy and you won’t hear, “I’m cold,” right when the deer start moving through your shooting lanes. If you put one of these blankets in your family’s outdoor arsenal, you will be surprised how often it saves a trip.
