The 9 Best Outdoor Blankets

Our goal this season is to get outside as much as possible, whether it’s dining on restaurant patios or picnicking with friends (from a safe distance). As sunny days give way to cooler evenings, these outdoor blankets will keep you warm and let you linger outside longer.

Rumpl NanoLoft Puffy Blanket

Perfectly portable, the Rumpl NanoLoft Puffy Blanket packs down in its included stuff sack to a size that’s easy to carry. The insulating NanoLoft technology warms like down, but compresses smaller and works even on wet days.

ChappyWrap Blankets

Designed to stand up to repeated washings, ChappyWrap blankets can be used indoors or outdoors and then thrown in the washing machine. These ultra-soft yet extra-tough blankets don’t pill, shrink, or fade in the wash. Made from a heavy cotton blend, ChappyWrap blankets will keep you warm on even the coldest night.

Eddie Bauer Water-Resistant Outdoor Blanket

Wrap Eddie Bauer’s Water-Resistant Outdoor Blanket around you, or lay it on the ground for picnicking or camping. One side has a waterproof backing and the reverse is soft and comes in a variety of patterns. In between, a thin layer of polyester fiber acts as an insulator and adds extra warmth.

Kelty Bestie Blanket

Kelty’s Bestie Blanket is small and light enough to bring on a backpacking trip, yet delivers heavyweight warmth, thanks to the Cloudloft insulation. The soft fabric on each side ups the coziness factor, and it comes in four fun colors to brighten your day.

L.L Bean Mountain Classic Camp Blanket

L.L Bean’s Mountain Classic Camp Blanket stuffs inside its own integrated pocket for easy transportation. Or, you can stuff the pocket with clothing and use it as a pillow while laying on the blanket. This outdoor blanket even has built-in loops so you can hang it up for quick drying.

Patagonia Macro Puff Quilt

Fans of Patagonia’s popular Macro Puff Jacket will love their Macro Puff Quilt, which is made from the same lightweight yet warming material. Weighing just 27.4 ounces, the quilt folds down small but is large enough to cover a queen-size mattress. 

Oceas Indoor/Outdoor Fleece Blanket

With a five-star rating on Amazon, Oceans’ Indoor/Outdoor Fleece Blanket is beloved by reviewers. It’s easy to see why—this blanket has a plush sherpa fleece lining backed with a durable, waterproof, and windproof fabric.

Cozee Battery Powered Heated Blanket

When a regular outdoor blanket just won’t cut it, invest in the Cozee Battery-Powered Heated Blanket. Charge the blanket at home or in the car and it will provide hours of warmth while outside.

Puffer Wolf Extra-Large Double Insulated Outdoor Blanket

Puffer Wolf’s Extra-Large Double Insulated Outdoor Blanket measures 80” x 51” yet packs down to 5” x 5” x 12” in its included stuff sack. The synthetic double-insulation stays warm even in wet conditions and weighs less than 1.5 lbs.
