There are some things in life that just make it better. A Rumpl Blanket is one of those things. Read on to discover why you need one.
Could you live without a Rumpl blanket? Yes. Would your quality of life be worse? Yes.
Imagine taking a sleeping bag and turning it into a blanket. Glorious, instant warmth in a compact, colourful and versatile form factor. The founder of Rumpl did exactly that, solving a problem we never knew we had.
When I first laid eyes on one in Melbourne at the Outdoor Retail Expo, like most people, I was unsure of where I'd actually use it. Now a Rumpl sits permanently next to my TV in the lounge room. Halfway through winter, we replaced the doona with a two person Rumpl. They're perfect to fend off a chilly evening at home, but where they really shine is car camping. To me, car camping represents comfort. What's the point of your two person camp chair lounge, if you spend the night shivering in each other's arms? A Rumpl solves this problem.
Rumpls come in a one person size and a larger double. If you're chasing luxurious warmth, a down option is available, but I'd recommend the Original or the more compact NanoLoft options (both synthetic): they provide plenty of warmth and are easier to wash.
Rumpls come in a variety of eye-catching colourways - so be warned, you will want more than one. The constant temptation of new prints (including limited editions) serves as a perfect reminder that Rumpl blankets are the perfect gift.
As we head into the warmer months, you may question whether you need to purchase a Rumpl now. Putting aside the fact that you'll want to stare at your Rumpl longingly, waiting patiently for the opportunity to use it, here's a list of perfect Rumpl occasions:
You need a Rumpl Blanket. You just don't know it yet.

Down, Fleece or Synthetic? As always, there's pros and cons to each. Check it out:

Fleece (Sherpa, Polar)

Cleaning your Rumpl Easy! Use Grangers Down Wash for your Rumpl down blankies and Grangers Gear Cleaner Spray or Grangers Clothing Wash + Repel (if you want to add a bit of DWR coating) for the Original or NanoLoft puffy blankets.
