Rumpl vs Get Out Gear - Before You Buy, Watch This Video! - The Perfect Backpacking Blanket?

[@NickandRachel]

Nice comparison video man! 2K let's go! Enjoy your hike in the Badlands!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It’s been an epic trip! Look forward to sharing the videos cheers!

[@NickandRachel]

@@MetroOnTheMove looking forward to seeing them!

[@TylerCampbellOutdoors]

Looking forward to your SD adventure videos. Good info on the blankets.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

They are gonna be fun! Hanging with Crow, Buckley and 3 has been an awesome experience. Sorry for delay as I’m just now getting reception and caught up. Out in the Badlands right now! Cheers

[@TylerCampbellOutdoors]

@@MetroOnTheMove we met Buckley when we were in SD. Sounds like a fun group

[@compassconundrum7095]

Love it. I may upgrade my Bestie Blanket to the Get Out Gear blanket!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Totally worth it! Great summer and early fall blanket. Sorry for delay as I’m just now getting reception. Cheers!

[@cdsky3]

Comparing apples to oranges. I know Rumpl also has a down blanket as well, would have liked to have seen comparisons between the two.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Hello and sorry that I didn't have the down Rumpl . My suggestion was based on the fact that these are similar in terms of price and warmth. The down blanket by Get Out Gear is cheaper, lighter and packs down smaller which is better for backpacking. The Rumpl is better for car camping, shorter hikes but is more expensive, weighs more and doesn't pack down as small.

[@SouthernHike]

That 2k is looking imminent!!! Great comparison man!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friends! Getting close and thanks to you for the support along the way!

[@T25de]

the extra closure of the GOG blanket is pretty sweet.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Definitely a great piece of gear and worth the $$$! Might get another one for my hammock set up / pack.

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

Love my Get Out Gear!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It’s an awesome light weight down blanket and perfect for camping during the warmer months. Good stuff!

[@YourNextCast]

Great review Andrew.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you ! this is a great product for so many activities outdoors. However, the weight is a little heavy for backpacking but will say that this works pretty well down to 40 degrees or so. Thanks for watching!

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Hello Metro, very good comparison review.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Really enjoy my get out gear blanket and use it a lot during the hot summer months as it rated for 40+ degrees.

[@GratefulTrekker]

Good review 👍 you broke them down well clear and consice sucks that I'm allergic to down 🤪

[@MetroOnTheMove]

They are both great blankets and both serve a great purpose for backpacking and camping. Thanks for the support. Just got reception. Still out in Badlands!

[@wanderwondergrow9766]

Would have definitely preferred a comparison on the Rumpl Down Puffy vs. the Get Out Gear Down blanket

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Completely understand. The comparison was based on price point and temp rating since they are close. Hoping to get a test sample from Rumpl for a puffy blanket to do a future comparison. Will release another video comparison when this happens.

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

That was fantastic and enjoyable

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Appreciate the feedback! Get out gear is an awesome company!

[@johnpowell8568]

Hi. Nice review. I have a smaller version of both synthetic and down. The 38x52 Rumple, and a 60x70 light down quilt by Blueridge Home fashions. By carefully rolling the compressed Rumple into the down quilt, I can fit both into the stuff sack for the down quilt, and have a two for one package that is about football sized! A definite plus if/when space is at a premium. I have a much larger down quilt, but after a while, things get so big that it turns into sleeping bag size, and I thought that these smaller sized quilts were to make it possible to 'bivy' without carrying a lot of inconvenient bulk? Anyways, cool video and good advice about cleaning.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

That is awesome how the two pack down like that for you. I’ve got an enigma and revelation for colder temps as well but never tried doubling up. Thank you for the feedback and hope you enjoy this channel!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Nice review Andy. Either one would work for different applications.

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

Nice job! Almost to 2k! What temps do you think you could get down to in each? I’m needing a couple quilts for the kids. Have a safe trip my friend!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! I wouldn’t push this past 45 degrees. Just got reception and trying to get caught up with the reality!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

I like the down blanket only because of its packable size as my 65 ltr osprey is not as big as i had hoped

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Agreed! The down does pack down way better as the Rumpl is very bulky. I think that you will like the Get Out Gear blanket for the price as well!

[@jeff4044]

I want a blanket that I can use while Kayak camping in pretty warm enviornments. Is the Get Out Gear blankets bag waterproof? Can I fold it and use the blank more like a sleeping bag? Are there snaps around the edges so it can be snapped together at night?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This is a down blanket, so I don't recommend it for any water related activities. I use this as a sleeping quilt in the summer months. There are two snaps that turn the blanket into a poncho but it doesn't connect all the way up.

[@laurilumby7510]

Which one is warmer?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

They are both warm. Would not use either under 40 degrees.

[@jjlansing11]

A down blanket for under $100 seems too good to be true. Others from more popular brands are 2 or 3x more and I think the reason for that is because the down is likely not ethically sourced, which to me is a deal breaker. I tried finding info on it but nowhere on their website does it say the down is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Hello and thank you for the comment. This piece of gear has been with me for almost two years and I still use it to this day. I use this down item in the late spring, summer early fall months and has been an excellent down option under $100. In regards to your standards for down, I would encourage you to contact Get Out Gear to confirm as I am not sponsored nor work for them. Hope you enjoy the blanket!

[@BosomBuddyCreations]

I bought a fluffy fleece blanket at my neighbors garage sale for $2. Weighs only 13 ounces and kept me plenty warm down to 55 degrees. And fleece if wet doesnt get heavy like down and can still keep in some warmth, and dries quicker. Fleece for the win in my opinion. Both those blankets are over priced for me! oh and machine wash and dry, very easy.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you for the feedback. This down is rated to 45 and is get for summer and early fall hikes. Glad that fleece works for you!

[@kawilifezx10r23]

I agree overpriced gimmicks. $100 for rumpl HA! Doesn't help when youtubers praise trash products for free crap and endorsements.

[@wishingb5859]

@@MetroOnTheMove Real down feels so much warmer to me. Years ago, I bought a downthrow that weighs almost nothing at Bed Bath & Beyond. It is a no-name but genuine down and I genuinely get so warm under it that it is the blanket I reach for through December. Before then, I was a Polartec fleece person.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@wishingb5859 glad you have found something that works for you! Down is super warm, just be careful to not get it wet. I’ve got a lot of different options and the get out gear is my go to for mild nights on trail. I use it in the late spring to early fall.

[@MsRotorwings]

Why didn’t you compare the Get Out double puffy which is synthetic to the Rumple synthetic? Synthetic vs synthetic? Why compare down to synthetic?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

At the time of the video, it was to show what you can get at that price point and to showcase the benefits and cons of down versus synthetic. Agree that it would be better to have synthetic to synthetic as an comparison.

[@filippocorti6760]

Good video.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you and hope you enjoy the channel!

[@Buckeyes216]

Why not compare to the rumpl down version lol

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Good question! The point of this video was to review two types of blankets at a similar price point under $100. Personally, I think the RUMPL down blanket is over priced and if you are in that market, I would recommend getting an Enlightened Equipment quilt.

[@Buckeyes216]

@@MetroOnTheMove I agree on rumpl down being overpriced, I actually prefer their nano loft blanket over the og and down. Also, I recommend UGQ quilts over EE but their basically the same.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@Buckeyes216 I need to check that out! Have heard great things about UGQ, but have been using EE for years now on my longer distance hikes. Happy Friday and thanks for the support!

[@campplanet823]

camp planet camping blanket is also very good!!!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Will have to check this out! Thanks

[@mondelaziz5778]

Rumpl all the way

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I like both of them! Use the Rumpl for mostly car camping and the Get Out Gear for Backpacking due to the weight.

[@atomikmaster1]

Warmth?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I would say that I wouldn’t push either one past 45 degrees or so.

[@atomikmaster1]

@@MetroOnTheMove Cheers mate I appreciate your reply 👍🏿 🇦🇺

[@simplywanda1065]

Get out gear makes the same blanket in synthetic form so why did you compare the down blanket? Apples to oranges.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This was between two products to consider as a better backpacking blanket as described in the video. One is better for backpacking and the other for car camping.

[@atypicalhiker]

Oh that down is recycled...from ducks or geese. 🍗🍗 Dont tell the peta folks!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Agreed! Thanks for watching my friend

[@stevekitella4781]

One tigris is basically the same as the getout, uses goose down, and is cheaper...I have one 100% recommend

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thanks Steve for the suggestion on the one tigris! Will definitely check this out!
