Question 1

What is the most appropriate fabric that my camping blanket should be made of?

Accepted Answer

First, ask yourself whether you need the camping blanket for generic usage in stadiums, playgrounds, beaches, or for more adventurous camping by the lakeside or hilltops. Choose a delicately woven nylon material if you are looking for something more basic. Hypoallergenic synthetic fibers can be chosen if you have a mode of transport to your camping site, as it is heavier and bulkier than generic down blankets. Down blankets generally prove to be a perfect option due to excellent portability, insulation, and compactness - making it a go-to option for the backpackers.

Question 2

Can my camping blanket be placed in a drier?

Accepted Answer

Ideally not. You must leave your camping blanket under the sun until it dries. Putting it in the drier can significantly wash away any chemicals that may have been added to ensure the product remains waterproof. Wear and tear of the fabric may occur. Only if you have a 100% synthetic blanket, low power drying cycles can do the job.

Question 3

What size of a camping blanket should I be looking at?

Accepted Answer

Ask yourself the correct questions, such as how many people will be using it. Will you use it on a hammock, inside your tent, on the couch, grass, or as a wind protector when camping? The ideal dimensions would by 70’’ x 60’’ for length and width, respectively. Choosing an over-sized camping blanket can reduce overall space in your tent and gets dirty by scraping the floor while you lay and swing on the hammock.
