The Gonex camping blanket was a hit at our Grandsons soccer match. Even though it was windy cold and snowy my wife was nice and warm thanks to Gonex. The camping blanket kept the wind off her as well as keeping her toasty warm. She loved the snaps that were easy to use and keep the blanket secure on her. Gonex did I it again with another great product. Well designed with snaps all around and buckles to keep blanket secure all the corners have loops for other ways to secure. Great for hanging. I can’t wait to use at our next camping trip. My wife liked this blanket so much she used it on the couch while she read later in the day and was super warm and comfy. This is a great blanket to have for sporting events camping, in the car or anywhere you need to stay warm. Gonex definitely nailed with this blanket great design well constructed with a good look and packs away easily in its own carry sack. Read more
Really pretty design! It was a big size as well & cozy. Convenient carrying pouch that was easy to stuff the blanket back into, nice & compact. It’s really warm even though it’s thin; I took it camping on a chilly, windy day & my dog stayed burrowed in it the whole time & she stayed nice & warm. She’s really picky about blankets too so I was impressed. Really nice purchase Read more
Delightful surprise! This blanket actually keeps me warm. No electric blanket needed. Made of quality light weight material with attention to every detail. Snaps along 2 sides allow for using as a sleeping bag. Small, sturdy clips along the edges let you wrap the blanket around you, clip it together and walk in the moonlight with hands free to hold your wine (or what/who ever). So pretty! I chose the sunset one, with hues of purple, orange and pink. Several color options, all beautifully done. Comes tucked into a nice little duffle bag but folded nicely into my luggage. Taking this beauty on a December cruise. Let the ocean breeze blow. I will be warm and stylish. Great find! Read more
I really like how warm this blanket is. I do not actually go camping, but I use it on my balcony on cold mornings when I want to sit outside and read. The water resistant synthetic material makes it easy to use outdoors without worrying about dirt the way I would with a natural fiber blanket. It is warm enough that if I leave it out, my cat immediately claims it and falls asleep on top of it, which feels like a pretty good endorsement. The design has a lot of thoughtful features. The clips and snaps make it easy to wear like a cape, and they actually help keep it in place instead of slipping off. There are ties on all four corners if you want to attach it to something, which adds flexibility for outdoor use. It fits back into its stuff sack without much effort, and the stuff sack’s lock strap doubles as a grab handle, which makes it easy to carry or toss into a bag. That makes it work well as a travel blanket. Size wise, it gives full coverage for one person. You could share it in a pinch, but it is clearly meant for a single person to stay fully covered. I like the color pattern printed on the outside and wish the inside had the same design. My main hesitation is the tag warning to keep it away from fire since the blanket will burn, which means it is not something I would feel comfortable using near bonfires or fire pits. Overall, it is cozy, practical, and clearly designed for outdoor lounging more than sharing. Read more
Most sought-after trade during our family's white elephant game. Among 17 of us, everyone wanted my Patio Kit, a canvas tote consisting of this blanket, Beam, and a pair of socks. Read more
Too much of outdoor sports or camp gear is rather ugly. I'm glad to see that these days, more attractive ones are being sold than in the last 20 years, where function always preceded form. But just because something is functional doesn't mean it can't show personality, and I ordered this blanket for that reason. I've been toting around an old down blanket as my camp blanket/occasional sleeping bag pad in >32 degree weather, and while it's worked out fine for me, I didn't want to continue to risk getting it stained or ripped since it was not made as a camp blanket. I also prefer dedicated gear to specific functions, so I needed a blanket with its own bag so I didn't have to keep carrying my blanket around in a trash bag. This blanket is gorgeous: the quality of the art design is wonderful, the stitching is colorful with its organic shape lending to the beauty of the design, and it's the perfect size for two people who are 5'2" to sleep on or under. Being made from a polyester material, it's certainly warm while remaining more easily washable than my 100% duck down throw blanket. I can't even test it out indoors pre-camp despite it being 40 degrees out because even with my heat set low, I start getting too warm using it on my couch! That's more than I can say for my regular quilted and woven throw blankets at least, so I know it's trapping in body heat well. It washed and dried (low heat) well, and rolls back easily into its carrying case so that it has a small and lightweight footprint, which I know can be important to backpackers. The practical buckle to keep it wrapped around you while freeing your hands also seems to be attached well, and I hope they continue to hold up through both use and washing. The snap buttons to keep it rolled equally are attached well, and I appreciate the detail of its color matching the design. I personally camp out next to my SUV and don't have an issue with carrying larger, but its small footprint still makes it that much easier to load and unload the car. You can't go wrong with any of the 4 designs, but I love the shades of pink and blue on the "sunset" color. Paired with your appropriately temperature-rated sleeping bag, this is a fairly low-priced piece of gear that will keep you comfortable and warm while you camp! Read more
