Get Out Gear Down Puffy Camping Blanket - Review
What is it : This is an ultralight summer time down blanket that can be used in numerous ways. For an example, I’ve taken this across the country as part of my overlanding kit, I’ve taken it backpacking and after a long testing period, I am ready to share my thoughts.
Agenda Free Link : amzn.to/3ZGcr7M
Price : $70
Materials :
20D Ripstop
650 Fill Down (80/20 blend of duck down and weathers)
Weight :
Company claims 1.1lbs with stuff sack - accurate
Measurements :
77”x50”
Colors :
Black, Blue, Grey, Green, Orange, Blue
Versions :
Down and Synthetic - The Synthetic version is heavier and is slightly less expensive.
More about it in a minute
Features :
Durable Water Repellent coating
Can be worn as a poncho with included snaps
Roll top Stuff bag
Temp Rating : This is going to be very, very subjective as everyone is different when it comes to temperature and what they find comfortable.
For myself, it has kept me warm down to 50F while wearing clothing; shirt, socks and pants. I tend to run hot.
For Susie, it has kept her warm down to around 60 and she runs cold.
Keep in mind that this is a 1lb blanket, don’t expect to be rocking this by itself in cold weather and you’ll be fine. Again, temp rating are very suggestive; there is going to be someone out there who says they used it below freezing in a blizzard on Everest and they were hot…..but that isn’t going to be the case for most people. The temp range that I stated is reasonably accurate.
Review Pros :
Excellent warm weather insulation option;
Overall quality is good; stitching is good, snaps are good.
Nylon material is comfortable against the skin.
Extremely lightweight
Excellent supplemental insulation layer; in other words, when using this with additional components it shines; use it with a sleeping bag liner, use it to add some warmth to your existing sleeping bag.
Example : I have a sleeping bag liner from Carinthia and in conjunction with this blanket, low 40’s is easily achievable and together it’s a lightweight kit.
Good color options
Very compressible.
Stuff bag is excellent - good size, easy to stuff, roll top
Price is comparable to other offersing
Review Cons :
With that being said, for what you are receiving as far as down goes, less than a pound, this blanket feel expensive. Susie thought that it cost $35 and was shocked to see a price tag of $70.
Small - some individuals will want and need a larger blanket - this is not very wide. Because it is so small, it is easy to become uncovered as you toss and turn throughout the night.
Thin
Snaps - As is, I do not find them to be useful - I would have liked to see snaps on the top and bottom - it would help with staying warm in cool conditions as it would prevent the blanket from falling away when tossing and turning.
A foot box would be very beneficial and would be easy to add to this product.
Down loss : Susie and I both have one of these blankets and we both experienced some initial down loss which has stopped. I never saw where the features were coming from but when we got them and first used them we both had feathers on us during the first couple of nights out. Feathers might have been in the stuff bag…not sure
…
Summary Review :
I have gone over a lot of pros and cons and I’m sure that you are wondering, do i recommend this or not;
There is a time and a place for this product and I wish that the company was a bit more forthcoming about when that time was. The company claims that it is comfortable 45F with a sleeping pad but I do not find that to be accurate.
There are the issues with the measurements and then the difficulty to distinguish the down from the synthetic versions.
I do like the product and there are times and ways to use it where it works well; for some it will be worth it and for others, this is not going to be a beneficial product.
Comment down below, what do you think of this down blanket? Is this a product for you?

I've got a couple of these blankets. I actually used them this summer for camping in South Wales (UK), also they were handy when flying internationally with my family. They're light, and compact. Much better than the airline blankets. They pack down really small too. I got one, and as soon as I received it, my wife stole it and I had to get another...

@schlawa 3 года назад

Just wanted to throw this out, thanks for also adding the degrees celsius for us metric system guys from the other side of the big pond who follow this channel and might consider ordering one of those :)

@@FrankieSIM76 we use pounds, ounces, grams, kilograms, stone, feet, inches, cm, km. Whatever we want to lol. I mean sometimes I go on a 5km run and sometimes it's 6 miles. I like it that way.

@itbtae 3 года назад

I've had this product for about 6 months now and love it. It's not going to keep you warm in the colder seasons by itself, but used inconjunction is perfect as an extension. Overall, no complaints and it's served me well so far.

The Snugpak Jungle XL is $49 right now, and its several inches longer. Got one and love it.

@riceburnr2005 2 года назад

I have the same. Actually have 2 of them now. Works great.

@topalien10 3 года назад

It reminds me of the Costco $20 throw down blanket (couple years ago... don't know if they still have it...) remarketed it and jacked the price... it's amazing for $20 especially combined with usgi woobie... but definitely for summer use. Thx for all the hard work Luke and Susie S&H

@powerguymark 3 года назад

I almost bought those Costco blankets. Those truly are underfilled. These are not, in spite of this reviewers assessment. The down quality is only 650 so it takes little while for them to fluff back up to their full potential after stuffing them in the storage bag. The trick is to get them out of the stuff sack as soon as possible when setting up your sleep system to allow them as much time as possible before bedtime to fluff out.

@thdjjfsfh 3 года назад

Yep, I brought two from Costco, $20-$30, they are stored in my vehicles for emergencies and I use them to supplement my car camping setup. Susie is right, this does feel like a $35 product. It seem like this product is slightly larger though, I remember it barely covers my feet and it slides off easily.

@garrycollins3415 3 года назад

I have a stupid expensive UGQ quilt for winter, a Hammock Gear quilt for spring/fall and the Costco for summer. It's perfect for that.

@cosmokenney 3 года назад

Was just going to comment the same. IMO the Costco blankets seem to have more loft then the ones in the video. I bought the two pack and made a doggie sleeping bag out of one. Costco only has them on their site seasonally, btw.

@raynman67 3 года назад

Yup I got 3 or four of them, one in the car, one in the truck and one in my backpack, great little blankies

@RatdogDRB 3 года назад

I have one of these down blankets. So long as you understand the limitations of its performance, there are a number of uses for it that aren't bad. It is over priced for what you get however.

@titanpreparedness 3 года назад

Ive done a review on this blanket and love it. It works well for summer and makes a nice addition for winter. I enjoy that it can be made into a poncho. Nice and lightweight

@scottbutler1561 3 года назад

Thanks for the honest review. Cheap poorly filled feathers/down are no bargain, especially with a little sweat or rain. Looks like a great product to induce hypothermia.

@kjclem94 2 года назад

I have this blanket and really love it. I read in the Amazon reviews to either wash and dry it after getting it, or to just put it in the dryer with some clean tennis balls for 15-20 minutes. I chose to wash mine, and I couldn’t believe how much it puffed up after washing and drying. I have used it to extend my sleeping bag’s warmth, as a layer for a sunrise hike when I knew we’d be sitting on top of a bald for about an hour, and for various other non-hiking/backpacking activities (another sunrise viewing at a sports camp, in poncho mode). We love it for a throw around the house, too. I live in the south so I think it would pair well with a sleeping bag liner as a summer backpacking quilt, too.

@wisenber 3 года назад

I have a 12 year old Jacks R Better No Sniveler down quilt rated to 20 F that weighs a half an ounce more than that. Then again, it uses baffles instead of sewn thru quilts and 850 goose down instead of the 650 hodge podge. It'll stuff into a smaller bag than that too, thought I rarely compress mine that much. It has a velcro hole in the middle so it can be worn under a shell layer as a huge insulation layer, attachment points to be used as a hammock underquilt and ties for a footbox when used as a topquilt. My Wiggy's insulated hammock liner weighs closer to 26 ounces, but it uses Climashield with similar features. It's good to about 50 F but is almost oblivious to moisture.

@sk-wx1cf 3 года назад

Thanks for featuring this product. I have the similar Horizon Hound down blanket, about the same dimensions and 1lb. Puffy and light. I wouldn't use it as a stand alone cover because I sleep cold. However, I've found it great to use inside of my sleeping bag when I want to add some insulation or as a cover during a nap. Also good for walking around camp on a chilly morning or evening, with it snapped around the shoulders, poncho mode. If you keep your expectations realistic for it, it's a useful product.

@perryrupp6175 3 года назад

Agree. I've got two of the 650 fill and two of the 800 and we use them year round for all kinds of stuff. We'll worth the cost for us.

@PreppingWithSarge 3 года назад

LOL you literally released your review at the exact same time as mine 👊 cheers

@PreppingWithSarge 3 года назад

Interesting that you found it comfortable down to 50… I agree that is subjective! I was a little chilled at 64 but admittedly I was dressed VERY lightly for sleep. With a beanie I would have been warm. Good review (I always enjoy your reviews brother)

@100ThomasFletcher 2 года назад

I bought it to pair with my hammock cocoon. It works perfectly for that. Didn't need to be substantial, gust something to pull around me for added comfort

@johnnyrussell8729 2 года назад

I had one somewhat like it (NatureHike), sent it back. I found that the military Woobie was just as warm if not warmer. Certainly a summertime blanket. Thanks for the review.

@mclostinthewoods 3 года назад

I always have the same problem with all these down blankets, no matter how much they cost. They're all too short/narrow for me. I'm 6'2". If the blanket isn't 78"+ long and 55"+ wide, it's too small. I usually take a Snugpak Jungle Blanket (regular) in my pack during the summer. It just barely fits. I'm seriously considering buying a 50F quilt from Loco Libre or UGQ to fill this need. It will cost more, but will fit me.

@kennethwilson8633 3 года назад

Glad you mentioned the poncho liner saved me from getting something I really don’t need just buying gear because I can’t get out right now. Have fun be safe.

@josephbullock1296 3 года назад

I have this blanket and really like it. As long as you know when to use it it is perfect. I back packed into the sierras last may leaving my bag at home to cut weight, this blanket kept me warm down into the mid 40’s with long Johns on wool Sox inside my tent, I wouldn’t depend on it into the 30’s

@rudyo8409 3 года назад

Love my Snugpak jungle blanket XL !

@OurDee Год назад

I really like this blanket. I use 2 of them with a 50 degree sleeping bag on a Thermarest sleeping pad. This system works very well for me for spring summer and fall for motorcycle camping. I only compress them while travelling.

@wanderworm 2 года назад

I think you should do a video about how to store gear in one’s house. You must have a lot of it with all the reviews you do.

@elliottwright3772 2 года назад

'80" flat, 77" puffed up' it literally says it right there. The same way an inflatable air mat is longer when not inflated, and shortens when air pumps in and curves form in the fabric due to inflated shape. Same thing with air expanding in down pockets.

@Bloodgt3 20 дней назад

I just enjoy sleeping with a down blanket, so i will use it for summer time camping. It helps to keep my kit light in the summer, in the fall i can use it on top of a 30 degree sleeping bag i have , then if it gets really cold i have a big boy sleeping bag ill bring . Mainly i see it as a beeter quilt , i can use it all summer and not worry about wearing out my expensive bags

@paulpanel6301 3 года назад

As one person stated below. Costco had a similar product that I paid $20 for and works great with my sleep system in colder weather. I wish I had purchased more at the time because they would also great around the house as well! $20 was an amazing deal but I am 6’ 200lbs and it’s a bit short if used on its own.

@melbeckner4828 3 года назад

I have this blanket and love it. It's not a sleeping bag and is not designed to wrap around your whole body. I slept on my Insulated Nemo Tensor with this blanket over top of me last weekend. Temp got down to 48 degrees and I was toasty with just a t-shirt, shorts and wool socks. There is plenty of blanket to tuck under your body on both sides and at your feet, either on your back or on your side. The weight is what sold me and I think it's worth the $70.

@jorgehanschu7988 2 года назад

I’ve paired this with a thin fleece sleeping bag and been warm down into the high 20s. If you are a warm sleeper it’s worth a try

@lawrencefieselman3803 3 года назад

I agree with each and every comment and assessment you made about this blanket. I bought it because it packs pretty small and it is relatively light. Susie was right on when she said it seems like it should cost $35 or so. That's exactly what I thought. All that having been said, I use it inside a very light sleeping bag and I think it keeps me warm down to about 40F. Maybe a little lower. Now, if I had the choice I'd purchase the poncho liner. Good job, Luke. Keep up the good work.

@wgray8231 Год назад

we had a cool week of camp this past June and I was glad to have this with me -- I want to try using it as my quilt on a backpacking trip this fall (unless it's going to be too cold)

@ditch46uk 2 года назад

Just discovered your review. I have one of these blankets, and agree with everything you say in your video. I modified mine with a bunch of extra snaps so I can make a footbox or turn it into a sleep wrap, as well as use it as a campfire poncho, which has improved its versatility and made it more useful. It's not a blanket for cold conditions though - you only have to hold it up to the light to see the gaps in the insulation, even after a good shake. Thanks for a comprehensive review.

@davidcann6021 3 года назад

Think I'll stick with my Snugpak Jungle Blanket. Couple of hundred grams more but also has a compression sack. I'm just really gutted that since buying it they've brought out a camo version.

Good afternoon, came across your channel and like what I have seen so for..Good luck in all you both do

@jamesellsworth9673 3 года назад

As you make honestly clear, there is a role for this for medium/small built people to use in summer and as a part of a sleep system with a truly waterproof/repellent outer layer. I could use this.

@siouxbe1 3 года назад

I was going to buy one of these but, after seeing the review I'll keep shopping...Thank you!

@perryrupp6175 3 года назад

I wouldn't let this review scare you away. I've got two of the 650 fill and two of the 800 fill. Use them all year for different things and they are awesome. Wife and kiddo love them. Think they were well worth it.

@mysterylovescompany2657 2 года назад

I have one by Horizon Hound & once it's fully lofted (it initially takes like a couple of days, because of being stored compressed for extended amounts of time prior to shipping), it's really nice. You have to hang it (at home) when you're not using it, to avoid the same effects again; never carry it in the sack for more than a couple of days, or it'll be thin + sad again for hours, like Luke's one, when you do pull it out. It's lovely to use, but you have to understand that it's not _a quilt_ & it's unfair to judge it against one; it's only meant as a supplementary layer when you're feeling a bit too chilly, but not full-on freezing, in your clothes or sleep system. Using the snaps to wear it as a cape, or down your front, when you're sitting outside, it's great to keep the chill off, & using it as effectively a liner inside your sleeping bag/quilt - or on top, but you have to fasten the snaps around your neck bib-style to keep it from sliding off in the night, because it's a very slippery fabric - gives you a very toasty few extra degrees. It's also wonderful as a couch snuggle-throw. If you want extra warmth but don't care about weight, then, sure, get a wool blanket, but if weight does matter to you, these really are a great instrument in your comfort toolbox.

When I ETS'd I told CIF I lost my woobie in a boating accident. Some things are worth a statement of charges. Woobie is love. Woobie is life.

@janromer6401 3 года назад

Just to mention good alternatives, I got myself the Onewind poncho liner you reviewed awhile back because I thought it could help me warm up on damp nights out with my telescope. It's worked so well that it lives in my van full time and I have a second one in the house. It does snap all the way, forms a foot box and is delightfully resistant to dew. (Not rain tested.)

@ahoward2333 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip about to 2 models of this blanket. I too was convinced that the one had more down in it and thus warmer. Kinda bummed to find out that's not the case but thank you for addressing it! Have a great day.

@danthomas9077 2 года назад

I've got a Ozark trail fleece "sleeping bag", it's a light weight roll up polyester fleece sleeping bag that's the warmest dang thing for being so thin, I found it in a dumpster in an apartment complex, it was brand new, people move and throw everything away. I've been using this "blanket" for almost 15 years, I don't know that you could use it by itself in cool weather, but it would keep you from freezing in an emergency situation, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight blanket, it also makes an excellent sleeping bag liner.

@Will-Parr 3 года назад

@Colt1911Shooter 3 года назад

Perfect timing for this review. I had a few of these in my amazon cart for about a week now. I was intending to use them to ride out the next freak winter storm in Texas. Good to be able to see how thin they actually are compared to the pictures.

@glennshoup118 3 года назад

@mysterylovescompany2657 2 года назад

I forgot to mention the first time I watched this; I have one of these, & when Luke says the pictures are false advertising + "it will _never_ look like that", he's not quite accurate. I hang mine, + only compress it for travel, & when allowed enough time to loft up after unpacking (a few hours, after a bit of shaking) + when stored in a lofted state so it "remembers" it, the baffles do indeed get that fluffy. Luke's is just flat because he doesn't give it the time it needs to loft.

@clowone681 3 года назад

I have the down version of this blanket. I also have a wobbie, and a swagman roll by helikon-tex. All that being said this is bay far the most compact of them all. The wobbie is the heaviest, and most bulky. That is why is stays in my truck as part of my emergency kit. The swagman roll is the most versatile, and most expensive. This down blanket is the one I use most because of the weight, and packability. I use it in the Colorado mountains in 40 degree weather combined with an insulated sleeping pad and sleeping bag liner. I am typically a cold sleeper, and I stay warm throughout the night. I only have a 3 season tent (The North Face Stormbreak). I have not had an issue with poor loft, and I have owned this blanket for a little over 2 years, and it still fluffs up pretty well. I think your review was accurate, and fair all though I was fortunate enough to purchase this blanket for $40, and that seems like a bargain compared to the overpriced swagman roll. As far as the advertising goes, and poor reviews I agree that people are unaware that there is a synthetic version, and confuse the lower priced synthetic version for the down version. I think their advertising is taking a page out it the Rumpl blanket book because they have some advertising that requires you to be thorough when reading the descriptions as well. Thank you for the awesome review, and keep doing what your doing. 🤙🏽

@beeveedee9355 3 года назад

I have the Rumpl brand synthetic blanket. It weighs about 2 lbs but the quality is very good. Supposedly it will go down to 50°F. I have thought of modifying it so I can cinch the bottom to form a foot box and use it as a warm weather quilt. The blanket brand that is designed to best hit all the versatility you mentioned is the Puffle blanket by Sierra Madre. It comes with the cinch cord which also creates a baffle at the foot box, as well as snaps along the edge, so it can be a sleeping bag, a quilt, a hammock underquilt, poncho, etc. Plus they come in various temperature ratings in down or synthetic. I've also looked at the Hiker Hunger down blankets, similar to the Get Out one you reviewed, as well as the Horizon Hound blankets.

@guitarhiker4449 3 года назад

Very cool!! I almost bought a synthetic thermarest packable blanket this year. Rumpl makes a nice puffy blanket too. I think they offer both down and synthetic?.. Nemo also which you have reviewed in the past. These are a great way to go in warmer months if you dont like to be enclosed in a sleeping bag or if you move around alot in your sleep. I run warm myself so blankets like this i could probably get 3 seasons out of if dressed properly. Good find Luke!! Stay safe! Hike on!!

Then it was $179 and right at 2 lbs with the cords for attaching to a pad . Works fine , but doesn't compress this small . My sons both have quilts they got from Costco , that are about this size and weight . I " think " it was like $ 49 6-7 yrs ago. IDNK if Costco still sells that quilt ? Be safe out there ... Gubs

How much warmth do you think this would add to a sleeping bag? I have a 15 degree bag, if I draped this over top for winter camping, do you think it would allow be to take the bag down a few degrees colder? Great video!

Luke, how many kids do you have? And does your whole family ever go hiking and camping together?

Poncho liner for me because of overall size

Greetings from Norway. Nice review. I'll stick to my Seatosummit Traveller. Much more versatile, and comes in regular and long version.

Awesome review. I have a 32f vesper quilt now that I find great down to 0c. I'm looking for something to layer overtop to get down to -10 and to protect it from condensation. Any recommendations??? Thanks.

I need something to replace my wool blanket for trips to the hunting cabin. I wanted to have something that could close up like a quilt and all of these packable blankets miss that mark... Except one, I found the brand easthills outdoors and it has the snaps in all the right locations and a drawstring for the footbox. It seems new and has minimal reviews so a little hesitant on purchase.

Thanks for this!

Can’t say what I think blanket looks like as not appropriate, but also looks like a hotdog (while it is in it bag)x

Here is my two cents. I have a whoobie which I love. But I also have the walmart packable blanket. It was eighteen dollars and eighty eight cents. I use both in the summer and plan on using them with my Kelly cosmic sleeping bag when it gets colder. Truthfully the walmart blanket isn't bad really.

Would be nice if a company made a product like this but with 800+ fill, would make a great combination doubled up with a summer sleeping bag.

@perryrupp6175 3 года назад

They do make an 800 fill. Have both. Worth the price if you ask me. Use them year round and don't really have any complaints for what they are.

I was looking at one of these for a modular setup. I use a cheapo Amazon sleeping bag basically as a quilt (temp rating of 60) with a sea to summit reactor extreme 25 degree liner, when needed. It sounds like it is just about as warm as the sleeping bag I have so maybe I will just skip it and add an SOL Bivvy or something else

Thank you Luke, I'll stick with my helikon swagman

I have a poncho liner and love it. Don’t see the extra benefit vs price for this product.

Compressibility. That's not a priority for everyone, but it's _super_ important to some; no one product was made for everybody. If packability doesn't matter that much to you, then no reason to make the switch.

@rkaag99 Год назад

off topic curiosity... what is the clear ground cloth you are using? I'm thinking window insulator film. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!! (loving my Aqua Quest Defender 15x15)

You know that stuff sack is shaped like a .............kidney bean 😂 It's a nice blanket I suppose but it's not useful to me. I'll stick with my sleeping bag and blanket. They saved my dog and I during the blizzard of '93. Along with "My Buddy"! Appreciate your review! Always useful information!
