Corner loops and a snap buckle turn this blanket into a wearable cloak, fastening it around the shoulders so both hands stay free to cook, pitch a tent or hold a drink at a late fixture. Released from the buckle it lies flat as a conventional 75 by 52 inch throw, and the same loops allow it to be pegged as a windbreak or rigged as a rain poncho. Polyester fibre at 220 grams per square metre forms the face with a separate polyester backing rated PU1500 for water resistance, a combination that blocks wind and drizzle while keeping the weight down to 1.76 pounds. Flame-retardant treatment covers use around a fire pit. The 75 by 52 inch panel reaches from shoulders to below the knee on most adults, giving full coverage in a stand or around a campsite without the bulk of a sleeping bag. Machine wash cold.
