Becomes A Two Season Sleeping Bag
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.

Pricey but the one I grab every time because I just love it.
Honestly I love everything about this down blanket, especially the three snaps. I just ordered what I thought was the same exact one in orange, and was horrified to see I’d ordered double puffy but not down. I got a Honcho Poncho that I never seem to use because it’s too thick. I love the thinness and warmth of the down puffy one, and of one other hooded type I found that is synthetic but also light and thin. Combined with a wool blanket is the way I camp and it’s so wonderful. I guess I will just save up to get the down puffy and not return the synthetic I ordered by accident. It may work out AND keep me safer here in the woods.

Great and Compact
These are great. I keep them in the truck year around. In the winter for emergencies and in the summer for camping when it is too warm for a sleeping bag but too cold to go without! They are also great for an evening at the park, a football game, or whatever you see fit. They are a great size, could be a bit bigger, but are great. So great I purchased a second one.

Love the snaps
Just received my blanket ; Stuff bag is well made with a durable closing strap, pull the blanket out and let it breath … Down fill is warmer than expected for such a modest weight . Great addition to a bag or Hammock set up . The snaps have a nice tactile feel and are quality , easy set up to a poncho when it’s a bit chilly . Grey piping adds a high touch to this excellent piece of kit !!

Satisfait

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.

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
