RED Equipment outdoor adventure blanket & sit mat
We have long loved the Red Equipment brand, which constantly provides us with well-made and innovative designs, not only of paddleboards but also of changing robes, deck bags, and now a Spring collection that includes their new Outdoor Adventure Blanket and its little brother, the Sit Mat.
Sustainability is a big part of Red’s identity. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net), they champion high social and environmental performance standards, transparency, and accountability. In a simple nutshell, this means that what you purchase from Red has been constructed with recycled materials and is so well made that it should last you for years.
Adventure Blanket
The Adventure Blanket is lightweight, packable, and waterproof. It is made to withstand any terrain, and the plush groundsheet is backed in abrasion-resistant recycled ripstop nylon with a soft, recycled polyester top. The 3M Thinsulate quilting will keep you warm and cosy, and it’s a generous size at 1.8 x 1.4 metres. On each corner, there is a peg-down loop for those windy days, and in one corner, there is a built-in zipped pocket.
It’s also sand, dirt and dog-hair proof, so when you are done, give it a good shake and pop it back in its stash bag, which has a handy carabiner. It weighs just 840g.
Sit Mat
The Sit Mat is a smaller version of the Blanket, sized at 60cm x 82cm, weighing 220g, and is perfect for you and your kit bag, or a couple of kids or your dog! Its stash bag is sewn in, so there is no danger of losing it, and again, it comes with a carabiner. We’ve used this whilst hiking, and it’s great to pop it onto the grass, perhaps a wet log or seat, so you are never in danger of getting damp!
Designed to be used shoreside, these blankets will be a welcome addition wherever you are—keep them in your car or van or hang them from your rucksack when out hiking.
After 17 years in the business, you would like to believe that the team at Red Equipment know what they are doing – they have an incredibly low returns record and are quick to forward the odd spare should you need it. These blankets have good design and quality construction and will undoubtedly be used by our family a huge amount. We love technical kit that is designed for purpose, no more soggy bottoms or blankets that are covered in doggie hair or sand! Good job, RED!
