The Adventure Enthusiast's Choice

Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket

When the outdoors calls and the thrill of fall adventures beckons, you need a trusty sidekick to keep you warm and cozy. Meet the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket, the ultimate companion for outdoor enthusiasts who refuse to let a little chill put a damper on their journey.

We love the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket for its portability, water-resistant design, and innovative Cape-Clip®️. The blanket itself is made of 100% recycled material and comes with a water resistant stuff sack, that can be easily toted around in all your adventures. The exterior of the blanket is made with a ripstop material which is weather-resistant 90/10 DWR (also known as water repellent), protecting you from the elements. Under the hood of this puffy blanket is a hollow-fiber synthetic insulation, which is materials similar to those found in sleeping bags, thus offering a camping like feel and warmth.

Our favorite part of the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket is the Cape-Clip®️. This innovative feature, allows you to wear the blanket hands-free. This design provides a cape like experience that any superhero would approve of!

The Cozy Classic

When it comes to the classics, nothing beats the warm and practical charm of a Mexican Blanket. These blankets are a blend of timeless style with a south-of-the-boarder-twist, that will ensure you stand out in a crowd. Several memories are unlocked at the site of these colorful tapestries. From camping trips, to wrapping up in the back of a Ford Pinto, to sitting on a hillside jamming to John Mayer while he accompanies the Dead & Co. one last time. Maybe those images are all to cliche, but you get the point.

Mexican Blankets are durable, easy to clean, and get better with every adventure and wash. You can always find these during your travels at convenience stores, but below are a couple of our favorites that would great additions to your blanket collection.

Benevolence LA - made from 100% recycled material, these blankets are handmade on traditional looms. Perfect for yoga, picnics, or snuggling by a camp fire.

Nakawé Trading - works with with indigenous Mexican artists to bring you handmade products. Their Mexican Blankets are handwoven by their artisan partners in Oaxaca, Mexico. These blankets do not have the flair and design of the blankets you are accustom to, but they have a nice neutral base, that can be displayed around the house.

The Compact Companion

During our research of compact blankets, we kept our focus on portability and versatility. Understanding that when shopping for a compact blanket, chances are you will sacrifice some aspects of a fluffy, warm, large blanket. That doesn't have to be true, but when comparing portable blankets it tend to be true. That's why we narrowed it down to two blankets. One for comfort and one for play.

Magellan's Jersey Travel Blanket - This travel blanket is designed with the modern traveler in mind, offering the perfect balance between compact portability and cozy functionality. The Jersey Travel Blanket is of course made of a nice soft Jersey material that's perfect to wrap up with, while on the go -- particularly while in flight. It comes with a cute stuff pouch that measures out at petite 9"x6"x2". The pouch also has a piggy back strap that allows it to ride over the handle of your rolling luggage. The blanket itself is a robust 65"x40".

Matador Pocket Blanket - The first thing you will notice about this little guy is it's incredible portability. It packs down into its own pocket and can fit into the palm of your hand. It's packed dimensions are 4.5"x2.7"x1.1" and can easily slide into your pocket or bag. But don't be fooled by its small size – this blanket is incredibly durable and at full spread it's 63"x44". I've used it for picnics, beach outings, and as a ground cover during camping trips. The high-quality material is not only puncture-resistant but also easy to clean, which is a huge plus for me. It's a reliable barrier between you and wet or dirty ground. One of my favorite features is the integrated corner weights and stake loops. They keep the blanket securely in place, even on windy days. No more chasing after a runaway picnic blanket!

The Stadium Superstar

When it comes to sporting events, there is always the constant wondering of do I wear layers, but if I wear layers do I have to keep up with all the multiple layers? It's one of the world's most consistent worries and has been prevalent since the dawn of man. Enter the stadium blanket. The stadium blanket can be your one single garment you have to keep up with, and most stadiums and concert venues will allow patrons to bring in a blanket. You may have to give it a good shake for the security fellows, but you shouldn't have any issues bringing a cozy, warm, team spirited blanket into the venue.

We've already mentioned the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket which can be ordered in your favorite NFL team design, but here at Bild we want to give you options. And another personal favorite is from the Northwest collection. Northwest has a large selection of NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and NCAA apparel and blankets. On the site you will search for your favorite team, and there you will find the option for different blankets. Our personal favorite, if you can find it with your team's logo is the Silk Touch Sherpa Throw. The Sherpa Throw is just all around super softness, and made for those chilly home games. The front is a team branded silk touch, while the back is neutral color sherpa.

As we close out our time on phenomenal outdoor blankets we have to acknowledge the complexity, innovation, and plethora of blankets on the market. There are so many blankets that we have yet to cozy up to. And while we trialed a few and gleaned on past experiences and memories of our favorite blankets we know there are more out there waiting to be snuggled. So drop us a line, let us know your favorite or if you had a great or bad experience with any of the blankets we shared.
