For anyone looking to stay warm when the weather outside cools, consider checking out RUMPL, a company making comfortable, good-looking blankets that will work perfectly for your next camping trip, but fit just as well on your couch back home.
The brand was started by Nick Polinko and Wylie Robinson, two friends and devoted outdoorsmen who were looking to start a bedding company. They quickly found that when it came to blankets, nothing available on the market matched the quality and comfort of their sleeping bags in terms of performance, warmth, and durability.
From there, they decided to create a new everyday blanket made from their favorite materials that had been developed for outdoor gear. One extremely successful Kickstarter campaign later, and Polinko and Robinson had their own company.
RUMPLToday, you can get RUMPL's flagship blanket in sizes ranging from throw to king. Each blanket comes with a pouch like the one that comes with your sleeping bag, making it easy to pack up, but I think it makes a quality blanket to just keep out on your bed or couch through the season. Polinko put it best in a previous interview with Business Insider:
"We're not trying to be the warmest, most extreme blanket. It's about how when you put on a winter jacket, you get this cozy, silky smooth feeling, and it's that familiar feeling you get when you touch our blanket."
Whether I'm on the couch, settling in to watch a season of "The Wire" in its entirety without interruption (very likely), or hiking greater Appalachia (drastically less likely), "cozy" is usually what I'm aiming for. If you're looking to add a little more comfort to your life, RUMPL could be right for you.
