Great for emergencies, warm weather camping, etc. - SnugPak Jungle Blanket XL Olive

I have a regular sized Jungle Blanket I’ve lugged around in my pack, and used on occasion for several years now. It’s lightweight for the warmth it provides; is actually wind and water resistant; and packs up into a compact space saving package with its included compression bag. It’s a “nice to have” when out and about to provide a modicum of warmth and shelter in nasty conditions, and easily subs for a sleeping bag on warmer nights. It’s machine washable to boot, so for SAR folks, it functions well as a casualty warmth and cover during an evacuation.

There are two distinct sides to the blanket, only important to distinguish between if you need to shelter from wind and wet. The “rougher” side contains the protective elements, so should face outwards. The “softer” side gives direct contact with the insulation..

My only “complaint” with the original size is its just about maxed out for full body coverage. You have the choice of either “just” staying warm/sheltered or partially cold but comfy (especially if needing to share).

I got the XL based on my prior positive experience, and was not disappointed. It really is the same, just double the size. It packs up to about the same as a lightweight sleeping bag for one. I use it mainly as a “just in case” blanket in the truck. It’s got ample room for two adults and/or several children.

I highly recommend this item!
