In this video, I've been using this heated blanket for about the last month and I have to say, I'm impressed with it. For use outdoors or camping, this blanket checks off all the boxes.
It's water resistant, has ways to wear it around camp while keeping you warm, is big enough for 2 people to share in a roof top tent, and it comes with a super nice carrying bag that carries the blanket and all the charging stuff.
Check out the full video for how to turn it on, how it works, length of time it will run on the battery, and more!
If you want one for yourself, here's a link to it on Amazon: amzn.to/3RZaxeZ

I have a heated blanket that I use and like however it does not have its own battery pack. That's a huge game changer. Good video!

@WildcatPhoto 9 месяцев назад

I don't have room for heaters and fuel. I use a cheapie throw that shuts off in 45 minutes which is usually ok, but i wish it was warmer at times. I have a blanket over it that keeps the heat in for quite a while. Yours does look much better.

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

I think something like this is a great option. I've also had like 2 or 3 other cheap heated blankets that were tiny, just included an attached DC plug, were made of that flannel type material (which means don't get it wet), and those were probably $40-60 each. So, while this one is more expensive, it solves a lot of problems and has some nice features, especially when space is at a premium.

@AllThingsOverlanding 5 месяцев назад

@gerarda4742 9 месяцев назад

The price is a bit steep for me, but i really like that it doesn't have a timed auto shut-off. Mine automatically shuts off after just 60 minutes.

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, it stays on all night and with a bigger power bank, you could run it for a long time!

@KUEHLKUEST 9 месяцев назад

That is very cool!! How long does the battery bank last per setting?

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

So they say on low it will last up to 7 1/2 hours. In my experience, it was about 5 to 6 hours. I pretty much kept it on medium most of the night. The really cool thing though is you can take the DC plug that comes with it and plug it into any power bank you have so you could presumably power this for quite a long time.

@Hatty619NOB 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I noticed you have the 36w battery. I noticed that battery charges via AC in 2 hours. Is there a way to charge the battery via DC that would take longer but not have to run my inverter? I ask because the smaller battery they have charges via USB, that could be helpful for people to know. Thanks!

@AllThingsOverlanding 8 месяцев назад

Great question. It will charge up via the USB-C plug as well so you should be able to charge it using DC via a portable power bank or even your vehicle, no problem.

@Hatty619NOB 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info. I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and just received mine today. I figured the AC charging wasn't a reason to not purchase, but their website doesn't address that you can charge the battery via DC. They mention it for the 5v battery but not the bigger battery. I have a feeling this is going to work great for our purposes. @@AllThingsOverlanding

@AllThingsOverlanding 7 месяцев назад

@@Hatty619NOB Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

@Hatty619NOB 7 месяцев назад

Quick update. I received it today. I was able to charge the battery with a USB-C to USB-A cable I had lying around. Obviously it didn't charge the battery as fast as their 2 hour claim plugged into AC, but it charged just fine at a rate of 20W from my EcoFlow. The obvious bonus is I didn't loose any energy charging via AC due to the inverter. I know I'm preaching to the the choir on this, it just would have been nice if they pointed this out on their instructions a little better. Other than that it seems like an awesome product so far. Another kinda weird thing they don't mention on the blanket is the buttons on the side that form sleeves when buttoned together. But hey just another cool bonus once I figured it out. Thanks again for the video. @@AllThingsOverlanding

@HBARCARteam 25 дней назад

How long dies it take to recharge from car 12v after it's drained? Do they have extra battery packs?

@AllThingsOverlanding 25 дней назад

They do have extra batteries you can buy and from 12 v, maybe a few hours? Depends on how depleted the battery is. I generally charge mine up on a 500W power bank overnight along with my phone and watch while I sleep.

i was wondering have you ever had your truck weighed to see if it's over payload capacity.

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

I haven't and I do have some decent weight in the back, but payload is about 1600 pounds on these trucks so I'm pretty sure that I'm still good, even though I'm quite loaded, :D.

@legends3302 9 месяцев назад

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

Good call. Now that I look, it seems to be configuration dependent. So, for a king cab 4x2, it's 1,620. But for a crew cab Pro-4X 4x4 it's about 1,300 pounds. The long beds apparently have the least capacity at about 1,100 pounds. @@legends3302

@jaycarneygiants 8 месяцев назад

Why didn't you mention it only has 2 small heating elements? SMH

@AllThingsOverlanding 8 месяцев назад

Because it has 2 large heating elements and it’s a blanket so it does a pretty good job of spreading that heat. 🤷

@jaycarneygiants 6 месяцев назад

@@AllThingsOverlanding but that's not true.

@AllThingsOverlanding 6 месяцев назад

@@jaycarneygiants Since “large” or “small” are extremely subjective terms, how about if we just say the sizes of the elements. There are two one foot square heating elements in the middle of the blanket which is 55” by 62”. The more heating elements you have, the more power the blanket will draw so, while I’m not a heated blanket engineer and I’m guessing you aren’t either, I would assume that they chose that number and size to maximize the heat produced by the blanket while minimizing the power required to heat it so that it creates the most warmth while running as long as possible in the provided battery.

@JodyCarbone 5 месяцев назад

Nice review, I was almost sold. However Amazon reviews are not kind. There are many $40 options with better heating, better, better customer feedback. Too bad.

@AllThingsOverlanding 5 месяцев назад

No problem at all. I'm enjoying the blanket but you gotta do what you gotta do based on research!

@512_Overland_Adventures 9 месяцев назад

I assume you got this free from the sponsors? C'mon $250 for a 12V blanket.

@AllThingsOverlanding 9 месяцев назад

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Sure, you can get a DC powered heated blanket for maybe $40-60. But none of those include a nice carrying bag or a portable power bank. So you have to provide your own 12 V power in order to even run them. They are generally much smaller and very inexpensively built. I had one that was about a $40 heated blanket before and the bag it came in and fell apart after one use and it didn’t have any sort of battery power at all. This one can also be worn around camp and is water resistant and comes with AC, DC, and a battery bank. So again, is it for everybody at that price point? Probably not. But if you’re looking for a really nice heated blanket that you can use in a lot of situations and get a lot of use out of each year than this one really fits the bill. I’m a budget guy, but this is one of those buy once cry once type of deals.

@Stephankerby 7 месяцев назад

These blankets are terrible!!! Garbage and customer service is junk! Don’t waste your money.

@AllThingsOverlanding 7 месяцев назад

It's been great for me after 3 months. Definitely still working great and I haven't had to consult customer service so I can't speak on that. But I can say this is way nicer than any of the $40-60 cigarette plug heated blankets out there because I've had a few.
