Snugpak Jungle Survival Blanket - Insulated, Lightweight, Water Repellent Polyester, Olive

Wow! After using a poncho liner/woobie for over 12 years for camping / hammocking and at work (I'm away from home for 21 days at a time), I can honestly say the Snugpak Jungle Blanket is by far my new favorite. Purchased this item and 2 days later it's at my door.Upon opening, it's contained in a very nice and well built compression bag/stuff sack, also OD green. I immediately noticed the weight and bulk were considerably less than even my woobie when packed into a space saver vacuum bag, which works great and saves space in my travel bags. Without compressing Snugpak down, it's half again the size of the compressed woobie, and can be compressed even further. I will only be doing that when necessary to prolong the life of the lofting material inside.After using it for over a week now, in 65 deg sleeping quarters, it retains body heat and seems to warm up faster than the Rothco poncho liner I'd been using . Haven't had it in the weather yet, although I plan on a hammock camping trip once it cools down a bit and will report back on it's outdoor performance. A factor in my purchase was other reviews that mentions one side is water repellent however as mentions, I cannot verify at this time.Only improvement I'd make to Snugpak is to make it a few inches longer (80"?) as I'm 6'2" and it'd be great to be able to wrap up a little more in it. Even as is, I highly recommend this item and will likely purchase another to keep in my other vehicle as a backup.

While shopping for a good camp blanket, I bought the well-reviewed Rothco USGI poncho liner for $40. When it arrived, I decided to send it back. Although it was a decent blanket, it felt overpriced and short on quality, having arrived with a few loose quilt seams and several inches of open hem and exposed insulation. I also expected the fabric to feel more durable and water resistant. After I returned it, I stumbled across this Proforce Equipment Snugpak Jungle Blanket 92248 for only $3 more and decided to give it a try. I am pleasantly surprised--so impressed, in fact, that I will probably order another.At roughly the same price and only about 25 grams heavier than the Rothco poncho liner (they both weigh approximately 1.5 lbs.), the Snugpak Jungle Blanket is far superior in quality: it has no loose seams and is made from more durable fabric with an antimicrobial coating on both sides to discourage odors and reduce the frequency of laundering. The outer shell fabric is also impressively water resistant. I held it under a running faucet for thirty seconds and the water ran right off, leaving no hint of dampness. Moreover, it packs slightly smaller than the Rothco poncho liner and comes with a sturdy, functional compression sack that will compact it smaller than a standard 32 oz. Nalgene bottle.Since I didn't have both the Jungle Blanket and the Rothco poncho liner on hand at the same time, I can't say with absolute certainty which of the two is warmer, but I'm confident there's not a big difference. Either blanket should be adequate to keep warm down to about 50 degrees, assuming you have some way to insulate yourself from the ground as well (i.e., a sleeping pad). The only shortcoming of the Snugpak Jungle Blanket is that it's about 5" narrower than the poncho liner (but still more than large enough to cover my full grown adult frame at 6'0" tall and 185 lbs.). In every other way, the Snugpak Jungle Blanket is far more deserving of its ~$40 price tag. It just looks and performs like a better made piece of gear.If you're interested in the poncho liner as a camp blanket, I would strongly encourage you to consider the Snugpak Jungle Blanket as a better choice. For almost the same price, it packs a bit smaller, resists odors better, sheds moisture better, is more versatile in application (since the outer shell sheds water so well), and should be more durable as well--all while keeping you just as warm and weighing only a few grams more. Highly recommended!

I was not in the military earlier in life; as a result, I am more or less "free" from the perennial obsession of owning a GI poncho liner. When it came time to fill this need I purchased this instead, and I have not felt shorted.This blanket is generously sized, yet packs very compact. It is very light but extraordinarily warm. It does not have the anchor points found on a "woobie"; however, after a bit of research, I personally found that these can be added very inexpensively and easily without cutting, altering or damaging the blanket in any way (feel free to contact me if you would like more details and I will be happy to explain the process specifically).Overall--this blanket is a solid and worthwhile purchase; with some small additions, its utility can be further expanded to make it a truly critical piece of gear.

Soy paramédico y en las guardias nocturnas en ocasiones dormimos en la ambulancia y es aquí en donde me ha resultado perfecta. Si necesitas algo fácil de transportar, ligera y que caliente, esta esta es la opcion.Lo único malo es que me hubiera gustado que tuviera costura por en medio de las dos mantas que la componen, ya que sólo están unidas por los bordes.

Good price even though its not the XL version as advertised, warm blanket and pretty comfortable, packs down well

Un vrai bon élément qui peut s'adapter partout, dans différentes circonstances, protège efficacement du froid, vent, humidité au sol (un côté adapté), compacité avec le sac de compression, peut-être utilisé comme oreiller de secours, facile d'emploi et d'entretien.Un super produit, comme souvent chez la marque.A prendre les yeux fermés, nouvelle technologie spécifique qui se substitue à une grosse couverture en laine pour la même efficacité.

Great item, snug pac quality stands out as always. Light weight, warm and perfect for camping, backpacking or hammock. Stuff sack provided is great, strong materials well made.

La tela exterior se ve resistente, el relleno es mínimo, si duermes sin ropa debajo no creo sea para menos de 15 grados, el grueso del relleno d be equivaler al de una chaqueta con aislante de 80 grms /M2 como mucho
