The latest in camp luxury proved so comfy, it literally sold out while we were writing this story.
Even the iconic man’s man, Ernest Hemingway — who famously embarked on a vigilante World War II mission to sink German submarines with his fishing boat — wore a big, comfy sweater. And while Hemingway certainly isn’t the ideal male role model, the point remains: Being tough doesn’t have to mean being uncomfortable.

So while some may scoff at the Rumpl Chillmono fleece-lined outdoor robe, I bear no shame when I say I am here for it! Announced this month, the Chillmono drapes the wearer with water-repellent, puffy blanket goodness. And it’s so good, it sold out in little more than a week!
And sure, it’s a big step away from roughing it. But anything short of running naked through the woods and eating tree fungus is a step away from roughing it — I’m looking at you, camp stove users and 800-fill sleeping bag slumberers.
What’s more, the outdoor industry continues to find new ways of making the outdoors a little less rugged and a little comfier. After all, we’ve invented a bunch of cool stuff since evolving from wild nomads to civilized — albeit highly disagreeable — members of society. I’m talking about good wine, comfortable seating, and high-quality footwear just to name a few.
If you ask me, the Chillmono climbs aboard with Hemingway’s sweater and a few other choice outdoor luxuries we ought not shun simply because deep down they feel so good. So join me in calling on Rumpl to bring back the Chillmono!
