Reviews & Ratings for Kelty Bestie Blanket — 5 reviews — Page 1

Exactly what you'd expect from a good brand like Kelty. This blanket is extremely comfortable and lightweight, and easily rolls up and fits into the small cinch travel pouch it comes in. One side is a slippery/wicking material for the ground and the other side is soft. Very nice for camping and the outdoors!!

A bit smaller but almost as good as the standard, a USGI poncho liner. Perfect for curling up on the couch for movie night or to stash in your vehicle for an unplanned night out. Stuffs down small enough to fit in a bug out bag. Comes in three different colors including a rather subdued one. I got one for each member of the family.

I am a longtime fan of Kelty products. Over the years i've used several of their packs and other products (including a kid carrier) and have never been disappointed. Products are well constructed out of quality materials. The Bestie Blanket follows this longstanding tradition. It is very well constructed, sturdy, retains heat very well, and is compact.

While its too small to really wrap around you (think one side of a square-sided sleeping bag), its perfect to keep in your rig for those "just in case" moments. You know, like needing to cover the seats from wet and dirty dogs and/or kids, staying warm in your stalled out vehicle, or even as a small groundcloth for outdoor concerts. It compacts into a very small package (stuff sack included) and easily fits in a utility box or trunk organizer without displacing anything else.

It's also a great bargain for what you get. There are similar products out there that cost several dollars more than the base price of the Bestie.

I bought this blanket to stow in the Crosstrek just in case. But it landed in my big comfy chair and both me and Spike (our cat) love it. A bargain it was, now it's a priceless addition to the throne. It's light as a feather, warm as a hug and a best buy, as it is well made and all it's supposed to be.
