Full product details & care
The Ultralight Merino Wool Blanket is a lightweight wool blanket for travel, home and camp: a full 80 × 48 in layer of 100% Australian merino that weighs about 13.2 oz. Bring it camping, on the plane, in the van or out to the fire, anytime you want a soft layer without a heavy blanket. Reach for it on cool mornings and long road trips, or as a light layer at home. It also makes an easy gift for anyone who’s always cold.
Why merino
Merino is naturally antimicrobial and odor-resistant, breathable and comfortable across a wide range of conditions. And this isn’t the scratchy wool you may remember: at 15.5 microns, these ultrafine fibers are the finest we use. It’s the kind of merino you have to feel to appreciate.

Questions
Is it itchy?
It’s made from ultrafine 15.5-micron merino, chosen for a soft feel against skin, a world away from the coarse wool of traditional blankets.
Is it a good travel or camping blanket?
Yes. At about 13.2 oz, it folds to about 10 × 4 × 2.5 in, so it’s easy to bring on a plane, in the van or to camp. At camp, use it as an extra comfort layer, not in place of your sleeping bag or quilt.
Blanket or sleeping bag liner?
Choose the blanket for an open layer to drape over your legs or wrap around your shoulders, at camp or while you travel. Choose our merino sleeping bag liner for an enclosed layer inside your sleeping bag or quilt. Compare them in the gear guide →
Does it replace a sleeping bag or quilt?
No. It has no published temperature rating. Choose your sleeping bag or quilt for the conditions, and use the blanket as an extra comfort layer.
How small does it pack?
One fold makes a bundle about 10 × 4 × 2.5 in. That’s a folded size, not a stuff sack, so fold it to fit your pack or bag.

Why we made it
Wool blankets are wonderful, until you have to carry one.
We wanted the comfort of a wool blanket in something light enough to actually take with us. So we chose ultrafine merino and kept it to about 13.2 ounces, with a full 80 × 48 inches of coverage.
