Compare the standard Mountain Blanket and the Mountain Blanket Printed Outlet to find your ideal camping companion. We break down durability, comfort, and value.
Quick answer
If you prioritize ultralight durability and a classic feel, choose the standard Mountain Blanket. If you want a printed design, tear-resistant polyester, and a lower outlet price, the Mountain Blanket Printed Outlet is your pick.
Shell fabric: nylon vs. polyester
The standard Mountain Blanket uses Diamond Shell 40D diamond weave ripstop nylon, the same fabric found in Kammok's Roo hammocks. This makes it exceptionally strong and lightweight, ideal for backpacking and rugged campsite use.
The Mountain Blanket Printed Outlet uses Laetus Shell 63D Diamond Ripstop Polyester. It's slightly heavier but still tear-resistant, and the Durable Water Repellent finish helps it shrug off spills and light rain. The trade-off is a bit more weight for a lower price point.
Warmth and comfort
Both blankets have a plush fleece backing for warmth and comfort. The standard Mountain Blanket's fleece is described as 'ultra-plush,' while the Printed Outlet version uses the same fleece for maximum warmth. The main difference is the outer shell feel: nylon feels smoother, while polyester has a slightly different texture.
Versatility and features
The standard Mountain Blanket has snaps along its edge, allowing you to secure it around yourself hands-free or attach it to other gear. The Printed Outlet version does not mention snaps, so it's best used as a traditional blanket or wrap. Both are designed for outdoor and indoor use, from camping to movie night.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Standard Mountain Blanket: Best for ultralight backpackers and those who want a proven, durable nylon shell with snap closures for hands-free use.
- Mountain Blanket Printed Outlet: Best for budget-conscious campers who want a printed design, tear-resistant polyester, and a lower price, accepting slightly more weight and no snap feature.
- Price difference: The Printed Outlet version is priced at USD 110.96 (compared to USD 149.95) while the standard is USD 104.97 (compared to USD 149.95). The outlet version offers a unique print at a discount, but the standard is already a great value.
