3 Outdoor Blanket for all Manner of Adventure

I’m a sucker for a good outdoor blanket. A soft, cozy, durable blanket that can accompany me on all of my adventures. Fortunately, there are several brands making not only high quality outdoor blankets, but sustainable ones, too. And since so many of the are so much more than basic rectangles of fabric, you better believe they’ll be perfect for everything from backpacking in the mountains to weekend camping trips to picnics in the park and outdoor movies on the lawn. So if you’ll be adventuring outdoors this season (or any season), check out these sweet sustainable outdoor blankets designed with adventure in mind.

Coalatree Kachula

Coalatree is all about sustainability (we love their fleece Evolution hoodie, which is made from recycled polyester and coffee grounds), and that extends to their line of blankets, which are so more than just blankets. Snap on a hood to make it a water resistant poncho! Button it up to wear it like a cozy cape! Snap the sides together to create a warm-weather sleeping bag! Stuff it in its handy zipper pocket and you have a pillow! And when you’re done playing, just shake it out to get rid of sand, dirt, water and more! We love it for its versatility, but also for its durability.

There’s the original Kachula for all manner of outdoor adventure, plus the Puffy Kachula, which is made of Bluesign materials and filled with recycled synthetic insulation to keep you cozy in the great outdoors. Find the Kachula here and the Puffy here! Snap ’em together for even more warmth! Then get your adventure on whether you’re enjoying an outdoor movie in the park, sitting around a campfire, or road tripping around the state.

Rumpl

Rumpl practically invented the modern outdoor blanket. And their attention to detail and innovation shows: the outdoor blankets they make are soft, cozy, and sustainable to boot. And while many of their products contain down (eww, down), a solid portion of their line utilizes synthetic insulation (yay, synthetics), much of which is made from recycled plastic. The blankets are weather resistant, made of recycled materials, have a cape-clip for easy wearing (the one-person size, anyway), corner loops for staking it down or rigging creatively, they pack into a convenient stuff sack, and several come in three sizes: junior, 1-person and 2-person.

Rumpl’s Original Puffy is the classic all-around favorite. But there’s also the Backcountry Puffy Blanket, which is filled with synthetic insulation made from recycled materials that is designed to mimic down. Not small enough for you? The Travel Puffy packs down to the size of a Nalgene bottle! Now that’s an outdoor blanket designed for adventure!

Ignik Topside Heated Blanket

Looking for something cozier than your average camp blanket? We don ‘t blame you. Especially when winter camping, it’s nice to have something that preheats your sleeping surface for you. Enter the Ignik Topside Heated Blanket, supposedly the warmest outdoor heated blanket on the market. Just plug it into a 12V DC power outlet, like in your car or trailer or a hefty backup battery.

Just keep that in mind if you plan to leave it on all night that it’s gonna eat through your power source on higher settings. That said, there is a smart timer function that lets you set when you’d like the blanket to automatically shut off. With our without the heating function, it’s a super cozy blanket thanks to recycled synthetic insulation and a cozy microfiber lining on the underside. Bonus: It’s big enough to drape over a full size mattress or sleeping pad. But it’s also great for warming your lap or wrapping yourself in while sitting next to a campfire or your Ignik Skullet camp stove.
