Clever design, good, but a little short.

Rating:****
Note: I'm only 5'5" but I ended up swapping the Regular size for the Large tech blanket, because in a cold snap/cooler evening I wanted to be able to pull the blanket up over my head.

Overall, the design of the tech blanket is good. The nylon finish feels like a sleeping bag, no better no worse. The interior side would be more comfortable if it had a different finish, since nylon isn't that comfortable against the skin in warm, humid weather. I thought that the loft was perfect for a summer cover, and coupled with a sleep sack to manage moisture I was very comfortable on a recent multiday trip with nighttime temps in the mid 50's, with high humidity. I'm certain I would have been warm enough without the sleep sack, but it helped with the humidity. The blanket packs into itself pretty compactly, but you could compress it further with a small stuff sack to pack most efficiently.

I also picked up the therm-a-rest sleep sheet to go with my mat, and this couples nicely with it. If you're backpacking, you may be able to find a blanket with a better weight-to-warmth ratio, but the price is right and I enjoyed using this blanket for casual camping.

Review Title

Rating:*****

Ok Then... I've read mixed reviews about these comforters, but I suspect in some cases people were not sure what they wanted first. This is the third one we have purchased. So our family has been completely satisfied with the quality of workmanship and the durablity. We didn't buy the quilt for backpacking. It's lightweight, but not "down quality" lightweight. We use them for mid summer camping when the evening temps range from 30 to 50'F.
(We live in the far north,Great lakes region) We do use them in conjunction with the nice thermorest sheets with the matching snaps. We also carry them in the car and motor home for outdoor and indoor quilts. So they serve year round duty for us, not just camping. I think they are a good value for the money.

perfect for those who roll

Rating:****
I just used the blanket on a two week hike on the AT. The temperatures dropped into the 40's and the blanket kept me toasty and warm... (so long as my feet kept covered.) The blanket was warm and light. It dried fast and packed small in my pack.

I roll when I sleep and the blanket never constricted my motion. I am almost 6 ft tall and I could have used a few more inches. Once I figured out how to use the snaps and the draw string at the bottom... my feet were happy.

I would use this blanket instead of a bag any day...

Good all round camp blanket

Rating:*****

These are light weight and versatile. We use them in the car, at the campfire, and to snap on the Thermarest sheets. They pack up small in their self contained pocket but we use them so much that we don't bother. So far we have only used them for warm weather camping. They wash up in a snap and no one kicks them off during the night.

Great warm weather performer!!

Rating:*****
This blanket coupled with the Therm-a-rest fitted sheet is a great warm weather sleeping system. You can either cinch the cord at the bottom or leave it open to have your feet stick out on those warm summer nights. I've used it in temperatures as low as the low 40s and staying warm wasn't a problem. Great blanket!!

Great Addition.

Rating:****

All around great blanket.

For car rides, Bachelor Parties(in the woods), or on the couch it is a great investment.

I also plan on using it as a draft blocker for winter trips with my wife, when we zip our -40 bags together.

Sub-par

Rating:**

This blanket looks great in the pictures... but I was very disappointed. I would best describe this blanket as two very thin rain shells stuffed with very light toilet paper. On a scale of 1 to 10 ... I give it a 2 for warmth and a 8 for looks/style. Definitely not worth 50 bucks... maybe $20!
