Horizon Hound Down Camping Blanket - Outdoor Travel Quilt | Sustainable, Insulated, Lightweight & Warm Gear for Sleep, Camping, Stadium, Hiking & Festivals | Water Resistant, Packable & Compact

As an experienced, long-time, year ‘round wilderness backpacker, I could not be happier with this product. It is *precisely* what I was looking for. For traveling through the woods, up and down mountains, for days and nights on end, cut off from civilization, there are three primary considerations that go into every piece of gear: Utility, packability, and weight. This blanket is, hands down, the best solution for backpacking in spring, summer, and fall. You’re not going to find anything with a better weight-to-heat retention ratio, or that packs down as small and compact as this does. If like me, you are trying to get a sense of the size and weight of this item from the comments or from the pictures, let me describe it for you like this: While in the stuff sack it comes with, this blanket is about the size of a regular loaf of white bread, at about half the weight. But this isn’t as far as it will compact. It will compact to half this size if you need it to. Size when fluffed, lofted, and fully unfurled, the blanket is the perfect size for one full-size man. I am 6’, and this is perfect for me with no extra, excessive, unecessary material. I was worried it would come with an excessive amount of material, and for that reason I was considering going with a goose-down ‘throw’ rather than a ‘blanket’. I’m glad I didn’t. As it is, I have no trouble covering up completely with this blanket, nor is there any excess material (meaning unecessary, additional weight and space consumption in my pack). Warmth: As I said, this is the perfect alternative to a sleeping bag for spring, summer, and fall. Somebody else claimed this will only keep you warm down to 60-70 degrees? I totally disagree. I don’t even know why you would need a blanket if it’s 70 degrees. This is 650 down, you can stay comfortable with this blanket easily, as long as you have on other layers (clothes) down to at least 45-50 degrees, and probably even lower. (The idea that you stay warmer under insulation if you take off your clothes is the stupidest, yet most repeated, myth I’ve ever heard.) Another thing I would like to add is that this thing is incredibly versatile. Much more versatile than a sleeping bag or the “quilts” that REI sells. It has button snaps along two edges that allow you to wear it as a sort of jacket, or shawl - almost in the style of a hoodless poncho - while freeing your arms and allowing you to do things around camp. Even at home, this has become my go-to blanket for everything. It’s just simple, nothing complex about it, and it just gets the job done. Anyway, there’s my two cents. I wanted to make sure to review this product for the benefit of the company, My thanks for making such a killer product at such an unbelievably fair price. And also, I wanted other woodsmen and backpackers to benefit from this product. I could not be happier. My pack size and weight just went down by pounds. Not ounces, pounds. *I originally wrote this review years ago, and this blanket remains one of the simplest, most versatile and valuable items I’ve ever purchased even now in 2021. I would recommend everyone have a couple in their vehicles as a comfort/emergency item.

This is a superb blanket. I have the heaviest blanket and used it down to 42 and slept warm. It is light and packs small.For those who have had trouble keeping it on themselves or your feet, there is a simple answer. Turn the blanket 45 degrees placing a pointed end over the head and feet. Seal the foot end by putting the two sides together off the bottom corner and using tarp clips, available at Amazon or hardware stores, to join them. Adjust them as needed to close tightly. Screw down type are best. Then lay the blanket over you like a backpacking quilt. The top should cover your head while the feet are ensconced in foot end.

I purchased the Horizon Hound down blanket and I’m really impressed. It’s surprisingly lightweight—only about 500 grams—yet still manages to be warm and comfortable even on chilly nights. The material feels high‑quality, the fabric is durable, and it doesn’t attract dirt easily. The water‑resistant feature is a big plus when you're outdoors. The blanket packs down to a very small size and fits easily into a bag, making it perfect for hiking, camping, picnics, or even just throwing over your shoulders at outdoor events. I especially liked the option to snap it into a poncho—it’s a smart and convenient touch. Overall, it’s an excellent product that feels premium, practical, and very good value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lightweight, compact blanket that delivers impressive warmth.

I knew generally from reading reviews what type of quality to expect in this item, and am not disappointed with my purchase, but there are some points others might like to hear before buying. My blanket came sized 73in by 44in (again somewhat expected, but not to spec) it also does not have any apparent "ripstop" checkerboard pattern to the nylon fabric. I have other ripstop items and this does not appear to be ripstop. Furthermore, I had difficulty finding a true measurement for the quantity of down in this blanket. The question and answer field returned an INCORRECT answer of 312 grams of 650 fill, while the tag which came attached to the blanket clearly states 200 grams of 650 fill. This is a very light blanket designed for backpacking and additional warmth NOT as a primary source of insulation, but I am happy with the extra warmth this provided on top of my primary bed covers. P.S. I did add a bamboo duvet cover as I'm not backpacking, and it not only increases the warmth but can still fit into it's stuff sac! P.P.S The corner tie out loops are offset from the actual blanket corners by several inches which may bother some users

Just used this for the first time. At the first unpacking I was skeptical this would be warm or even hold up but decided to just give it shot. I backpack and kayak camp so size wise I love how lightweight and small this packs up, makes it perfect for conservative packing. I used this in 55-60 degree weather. I ended up actually being warm with this on and needed to air out, that’s not a con at all, this quilt was deceptively warm and cozy. Perfect alone for summer camping and a great extra insulator for a sleeping bag in winter weather. I also snagged and yanked this quilt twice in my sleeping bag zipper on accident, I was sure it tore but it did not, so it’s more durable than it feels. I washed it after my trip per the instructions and it washed and dried great. I’ve only used this once but was extremely happy with the purchase. Hope it holds up overtime.

Great for the money. I use it along with our other sleeping bags for added warmth while camping. Packs down small and actually works well.

Tolle Decke, nicht unbedingt "nötig", jedoch sorgt sie für eine gewisse Gemütlichkeit welche schwer zu toppen und zu beschreiben ist. Würde ich auf jedenfall empfehlen.

Die Decke ist echt praktisch. Klein, passt in jeden Rucksack.

Lost a few feathers of the last few weeks, however, very light weight and warm.

Great little blanket to use for a good amount of warmth, in a tent, on a hammock or just on the couch, works great! i already have too many sleeping bags and other things or else I would have purchased a second one already. Love it!

Super calientita, ligera, compacta y fácil de transportar
