Take Rumpl鈥檚 fun, functional outdoor blanket, the Puffy, and make it lighter, warmer, and more packable聽by replacing the synthetic fill with down. That鈥檚 the new Down Puffy ($199).聽
Only available in a 54-by-80-inch聽size Rumpl calls 鈥淭rekking,鈥 the Down Puffy is just big enough to cover two people鈥檚 shoulders as you sit around a fire, and generously covers the back seat of a car or truck. It鈥檚 also big enough to tuck under a standard 20-by-72-inch聽sleeping pad聽to serve as聽an ultralight backpacking quilt. But聽at 1.12 pounds聽with a comfort rating of 45 degrees, there are better options out there for that particular job.聽
Using 600-fill duck down, the quilt compresses down to a 6-by-6-inch聽ball, roughly the size of a grapefruit. That means you can easily throw its considerable warmth into a door pocket in your car, the bottom of a picnic basket, or even tuck it into your man purse, should the need arise for some spontaneous cuddling.聽
We鈥檝e been carrying the Down Puffy in our new Land Rover, pulling it out for backseat passengers to sleep under聽or just to keep cozy by the campfire. It鈥檚 a fun, versatile聽accessory that will keep you toasty聽in the outdoors.聽
