cocoon - Coolmax Travel Blanket | Compact Throw Blanket for Camping and Hiking | Fits in Backpack | Attaches to Luggage | Travel Essential | Fast Drying (Regular 70" x 55")

I love this blankie! have many travel blankets that I've collected over the years and this is definitely the most travel friendly. For some reason if I don't have the feel of a blanket on me I can't sleep even when it's too hot for any type of blanket so I needed a light and airy blanket that wasn't too warm. The name "coolmax" made me think this was a blanket that was on the cooler side so I decided to give it a try. The material isn't cool to the touch like I envisioned, but it is light, airy and breathable. The material is very thin- a bit see through even, but also very moisture wicking. - Fantastic for hot sweaty summer nights. If you want more warmth all you have to do is double it up. Women can also use this as shawl if they fold it up. I think for warmer weather as well as for overall travel this is the best blanket out there for it's versatility and packability. If you would like a warmer travel blanket I would recommend the Westin Heavenly Travel Blanket- (however it costs twice as much.) That one really does live up to it's heavenly name and is pretty popular among celebrity travelers. It's cuddly and soft and warm and folds up into a small pillow. This is what I bring with me when I'm going to a cooler climate or if a friend who gets cold easily comes with me. Whenever a friend uses it I always have to put up a fight to get it back; however it does not pack nearly as small as this coolmax blanket does even when rolling it up. If you want something that's extra warm Midwest Feather & Down has a travel down comforter that has 600 fill down. At 74 X 52 it is the largest travel down comforter I know of and It folds into it's own pocket to become a 17" pillow. Since it's down I find I have to fluff it up a bit after unfolding it from the compressed pillow pocket to give it some loft but unlike other down blankets you don't get sharp feathers poking out of the fabric. Which travel blanket you choose depends on a variety of factors, but of all my travel blankets I would say that this coolmax blanket is the most versatile and the one I will bring with me no matter which climate I am traveling to.

Nice, large size for a travel cover. During warmer weather, keeps me comfortable, but not sure it will provide warmth during cooler weather. Packs well for travel in a carry-on bag.

These are my favorite travel blankets. Light, thin, but can keep you fairly warm and cozy when needed.

I took this into the Amazonian jungle for a little extra warmth on cool nights. This blanket offered a tremendous amount of warmth for its weight and was the only thing I carried that didn't feel wet from the humidity. It's a good, solid investment for lightweight travel.

My mom bought me one of these years ago and I loved traveling with it. Now I’m married and traveling with my husband and he always wants to borrow it so I bought him his own! The perfect travel blanket, light but warm! Sometimes I even wear it on the plane when boarding like a scarf or shawl LOL

I am generally a person that gets cold very easily. I wear lots of layers and I am always cuddling under blankets. Knowing that I get cold easily, I got this blanket for my trip to Ireland from Seattle WA. In all I used this blanket over 30 hours and it served it's purpose well. Our trip was nine days and our goal (both of us women) was to pack our belongings into a small carry on and small hand bag. So when we started to look for travel accessories. Light weight, small and easily packable were all requirements. I was a bit skeptical when I read reviews that said it was a thin blanket and that the reviewers returned it, but I was able to purchase a new but returned blanket at a good price, so I figured it was worth trying. Yes the blanket is thin, but soft, LARGE and WARM. It kept me cozy the entire flight covering me from toes to neck. My mom purchased a fleece blanket. When she first pulled hers out, I will admit I was a little jealous, but she was cold the entire time we were on the plane, even using the complementary blanket to try and stay warm. I was able to use the complimentary blanket provided on the plane as lumbar support because I didn't need any extra layers to keep me warm. The blanket is light weight and folds up into a small roll that fits into a draw string carry case made out of mesh and nylon that comes with the blanket. It is slightly larger than a can of soda all packed up, but again it is light weight. So all this to say don't let other reviews scare you off. I really think that they may have gotten the blanket, saw that it was thin and assumed that it could not do the job. But from my experience I feel like it did the perfect job. Oh on a side note...the word cocoon would lead some to believe that this is almost like a sleeping bag...it is not...it is a blanket.

This is a definite travel essential for long flights, or any journey you may need a little extra warmth. More and more these days travel comfort is enhanced when you self cater, a blanket for extra warmth is no exception. Easy to pack, light weight and washes quite well on a quick cycle up to 40 degrees. It feels thin but definitely delivers on warmth. Size wise it is comparable to a extra large beach towel . I'm 5'6" and I can cover myself fully up to shoulders when laying flat. Folded in half also good as a throw. Easy to fold when you need to restow it in the handy pouch.

Fantastic travel blanket in gorgeous colour. Lightweight but warm enough for planes and balconies on ship.

Suave y cumple con lo que la mayoría ha comentado. Es ideal para una siesta, protegerte del aire acondicionado o de una brisa suave. Cabe en cualquier rincón de tu mochila (o en un bolsillo grande) y la pueden usar dos personas medianas al mismo tiempo.

Kurzfassung: super Decke, für heiße Tage und Nächte , laue und kühlere Abende. Sehr zu empfehlen! Geringes Packmaß, sehr angenehm. Trocknen schnell. Kaufen, probieren, bei Nichtgefallen einfach retour;-) Ich habe vermutlich einen Deckentick... Früher waren meine Lieblingsdecken immer die ausgedienten Lufthansadecken von einer anderen Platform (LH in grau, Picasso und Joop) Von den Coolmax habe ich bereits 21 Stück bestellt, davon jedoch 12 verschenkt. Von den 12 beschenkten waren 8 sehr begeistert und haben viel geschwärmt. Bei zwei weiß ich es nicht und zwei weitere waren Abschiedsgeschenke (kein Kontakt vorhanden). Von den 8 haben 3 weitere Decken bestellt für deren liebsten. Was mit den anderen 9 Decken ist? Zwei habe ich zusammennähen lassen für kalte Nächte zum schlafen. Drei sind in meinem Koffer (Außendienst), der Rest liegt auf der Couch, wird zum Rauchen als Cape getragen, und beim Schlafen als Kopfkissen und Schlafmaske. Das schöne ist, man schwitzt mit den Decken nicht, leider habe ich noch keine angenehme Schlafmaske finden können (auch die von Cocoon (Firma der Decken)kommt nicht an die Decken ran.) Die Decken halten gut den Wind ab, perfekt für heiße Dachgeschosswohnungen oder heiße Hotelzimmer. Notfalls auch als Handtuch benutzbar, da sie sehr schnell trocknen. Oder als Bademantel. Als Picknickdecke zu dünn, für Strand gut. Fühlen sich sehr angenehm auf der Haut an. Das einzige Manko, sie sind etwas kurz (ich 1.91 m). Sie sind leicht in der Waschmaschine zu reinigen. Bei Kontakt mit Feuer zersetzen sie sich, brennen aber sobald die Brandquelle weg ist nicht weiter. Als Beispiel ist ein Foto von meiner zusammengenähten Decke angehängt. Einfach probieren, ich habe schon sehr viele Decken ausprobiert(ca. 80 verschiedene), dass sind meiner Meinung nach die besten! In feuchten und trockenen Klimazonen zu empfehlen. Demnächst lass ich mir daraus ein Unterhemd nähen, wer die Decke besitzt, wird wissen warum. Mir gefallen die coolmax besser, als die Merinowolle vom gleichen Hersteller. Wiederum sind die Cocoon Fleecedecken auch sehr zu empfehlen für den Winter.

As someone who produces a lot of heat when sleeping, this is an amazing blanket!! I purchased it for a sailing trip in the Caribbean where the temperature at night was 29c and very humid. Amazingly this blanket "drapes" over me so that I sleep well but keeps me cool! Very compact for travel and quick drying too! Somehow it also keeps me warm if I am cool! I am not one for gimmicks, this one is the "real deal"
