A cozy lightweight blanket is essential for a warm fireside snuggle or enduring those long hours at a Little League game.
Having spent 40 hours exploring and testing 13 puffy blankets outdoors, consulting with an outdoor insulation expert, attending outdoor movie nights, and putting them through rigorous tests at a local laundromat, we’ve concluded that the Rumpl Down Puffy stands out as the best choice for keeping you warm and comfortable.
Our Recommendation
The Rumpl Down Puffy provides excellent warmth and durability at a relatively low weight, price, and size.
The Rumpl Down Puffy, filled with water-repellent down and encased in a soft yet sturdy nylon shell, offers superior warmth and durability compared to similar blankets. It keeps you warm in the outdoors for extended periods.
This blanket is built to withstand adventures; it passed four rounds in the washing machine without any damage, dried quickly, and proved to be resistant to dirt, dew, and even coffee stains.
Runner-up
Although slightly heavier and stiffer, the Rumpl Original Puffy is more affordable and offers a variety of style options.
The Rumpl Original Puffy shares many of the excellent features of the Down Puffy, such as a densely knit yet breathable and quick-drying nylon shell. Its durable water-resistant finish ensures that you won’t bring home the remnants of your outdoor escapades.
Internally, the Original Puffy uses synthetic polyester fill for insulation, adding weight and bulk. This makes the blanket slightly stiffer and less warm to the touch, but it comes at a lower price point than its down-filled counterpart.
Best Budget Option
The Kelty Bestie Blanket offers good wear and comfort at a more affordable price.
The Kelty Bestie Blanket may not provide as much insulation or outdoor features as our top choice. However, its durable shell and attractive stitch pattern make it a great option at a fraction of the cost.
