Can a blanket be considered “technical” gear? An outdoors startup in San Francisco says Yes.
The company builds a blanket with stitched baffles, synthetic-down insulation, and a rip-stop nylon face. Called the Rumpl, its aesthetic draws from sleeping bags and puffy down jackets sold at outdoor gear shops.
The blanket comes with a stuff sack and packs small. Features include a dirt- and water-resistant face fabric that’s treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) chemical similar to what’s found on your down jacket.
It comes in five sizes, with prices starting at $65.
