Voited Recycled Ripstop Outdoor Camping Blanket: first impressions

Voited’s design has a ripstop, water-resistant outer material that won’t stand up to heavy rain but will withstand spills and showers. It’s also fully recycled, using repurposed plastic bottles, and comes in no less than twelve vibrant designs and retro prints. It’s also machine washable, although it does need careful drying in the sun to puff it back to its original splendor.
There’s also a smaller version of the blanket designed with travellers in mind.
Voited Recycled Ripstop Outdoor Camping Blanket: in the field
This is a smart multifunctional blanket that I’ve been able to test out extensively across a few years of summer camping trips, festivals and van travels, and it’s always been handy to have about.
Besides being a cosy-as-anything blanket, the Ripstop packs down easily into a stuff sack that doubles as a camping pillow, and it as comfortable as any dedicated camping pillows we’ve tested in the past.
Alternatively, you can use poppers along the sides to create a simple but functional sleeping bag that might not be technical enough for more hardcore camping adventures in cold weather, but is plenty warm enough for spring-to-fall camping, and makes a nice choice for festivals and summer trips when your best sleeping bag for dispersed camping is often too stifling.
Basically, if you want a quiver-of-one camping blanket/pillow/summer sleeping bag that you’ll get lots of use out of, we’d highly recommend Voited’s Ripstop Blanket.
