A packable blanket is ideal when you're on the go, especially one that can pack into itself and fit in the palm of your hand. Add to that premium insulation, fleece-lined pockets, and the ability to double as a pillow and you'll wonder if such a thing even exists.
Spoiler alert: it does!
At Gravel, we call it the Layover Travel Blanket — a product for the pack-and-go adventurer in all of us. From campground nights by the river to in-flight naps, you'll wonder how you ever slept without one.
10 Reasons to Love a Packable Travel Blanket
A packable travel blanket is exactly what it sounds like: a lightweight blanket that can pack down into the size of grapefruit. It fits as easily as a book in your travel bag and is ideal for keeping you cozy and warm wherever life takes you.

4) Insulated travel blankets are perfect for chilly nights at music festivals and sporting events
What's more fun than taking in a musical festival or sporting event? Answer: staying warm while taking in a musical festival or sporting event. If you pack one of our insulated travel blankets, you won't have to worry about wearing a heavy jacket to the ball game. Plus, the fleece-lined pockets come in super handy for stashing your hands when you need an extra dose of warmth between innings.
5) Packable blankets for travel make great pillows?
Yes. When done right, a lightweight travel blanket can double as a pillow for the impromptu sleepover, romantic picnic, or lazy day at the beach. Simply pack our Layover Travel Blanket to make the most of any surprise snooze opportunity.
6) Packable travel blankets make great gifts
Everyone can use an emergency packable blanket!

They make excellent companions for the adventurers in your life, especially the solo traveler who makes the road their home.
7) Insulated blankets for travel keep your toes warm
Our Layover Travel Blanket features an insulated foot pouch that snaps into place whenever you need a little extra warmth. It's perfect for frigid nights, chilly airplane cabins, or just taking in the nightscape wherever you are.
8) Premium travel blankets can keep your stuff organized
Why not keep your sleep mask, earplugs, AirPods, and boarding pass all in one place? Our blue and silver Layover Travel Blankets feature a "kangaroo pocket" that keeps your essentials at the ready, so you can avoid a search blitz the next time you hike, ride, or fly.
9) Packable blankets can cover your whole body
Not in the mood to pack your comforter? A right-size travel blanket can do the job instead. Ours is six feet long by 3.5 feet wide, so unless you're a member of the NBA, you'll be fully covered. But even if you're as tall as LeBron James, you can still use all of the great features, like snapping the blanket around your neck and dozing off anywhere, anytime.
10) A premium blanket for travel is machine-washable
In a world where packable travel essentials are usually one-and-done, our blankets can take a licking and keep on ticking. Simply use our Layover Adventure Blanket on your next adventure and toss it in the wash when you're ready to go again.
