Gravel Layover™ Travel Blanket

As a general rule, we try not to travel with more gear than necessary, but there are a few exceptions for recurring challenges. One example would be the paper-thin blankets that airlines (sometimes) provide for flights. Unlike the fluffy Saks Fifth Avenue comforters we get when we’re lucky enough to get business class upgrades, the economy blankets really provide no warmth at all. That’s where the Gravel Layover Blanket comes in very handy. It’s a smartly-designed and well-constructed option that’s large enough to cover your entire body, head to toe (it even has corner snaps to keep it up around your shoulders when you’re sitting up). It has large leg pockets with foot pouches, ensuring that even the backsides of your lower extremities stay toasty. And you can keep your hands comfy with the integrated, microfleece-lined sleeve on the inside and secure your phone with the zippered privacy pocket. When you don’t need a blanket, you can reverse the packing to turn it into pillow mode. And when you’re done, stuff everything down into the carrying bag that compacts the entire wad to the size of a large grapefruit.
