What makes a good outdoor blanket?

Most blankets are built for one environment: the couch. They’re soft, they look good in a product photo, and they fall apart the first time you drag them across a campsite. An outdoor blanket — a real one — has to do more than that.

The shell matters. You want a water-resistant or DWR-coated ripstop exterior that sheds morning dew, light rain, and the inevitable fire pit moisture without soaking through to the insulation. Once the insulation gets wet, you lose warmth and you don’t get it back until everything dries out — which doesn’t happen fast in a tent or a truck bed.

The insulation matters too. Synthetic fill performs wet where down doesn’t. It’s heavier than down for an equivalent warmth rating, but it’s more practical for car camping and overlanding where you’re not counting grams, you’re counting on your gear. Synthetic also machine washes without the paranoia that comes with expensive down fills.

And packability matters when you don’t have unlimited space. Rooftop tents and truck beds have gear constraints that living rooms don’t. A blanket that stuffs into its own sack and compresses to a manageable size earns its spot in the rig. One that doesn’t stays home.

Overland comforters vs camping blankets — what’s the difference?

camping blanket is a general-purpose insulated throw — versatile, medium weight, designed to layer and travel. Most people use them as a top layer at camp or a backup when the sleeping bag isn’t enough. They’re sized for one person and optimized for packability.

An overland comforter is a different category entirely. It’s a full-size, bed-sized insulated comforter built to replace the sleeping bag in vehicle camping and rooftop tent setups. It’s heavier, wider, and warmer — because sleeping in a tent on a truck demands more coverage than a one-person backpacker bag delivers. The Gorilla Dirt Overland Comforter line is built specifically for this use case, with dimensions that fit standard RTT platforms and insulation that handles three-season temperatures without the claustrophobia of a mummy bag.

Why Gorilla Dirt?

We’re a small-batch outdoor gear brand based in Murphys, California — Gold Rush country at the edge of the Sierra foothills. We make gear for the people who actually go out there, not the people who buy gear to feel like they might someday. That means trail-tested designs, no filler SKUs, and everything built to hold up through a season of actual use.

Every blanket in our lineup is machine washablewater-resistant, and designed to be used hard. We don’t make gear you have to baby. If it can’t survive a real trip, it doesn’t make the cut.

Frequently asked

What is an overland comforter?
An overland comforter is a queen-size, packable insulated blanket designed for sleeping in vehicles, rooftop tents, and ground tents. Unlike a sleeping bag, it lies flat like a bed comforter — giving you real insulation with the comfort of sleeping at home, without the zipper and hood of a mummy bag.
What’s the difference between a puffy blanket and a sherpa blanket?
A puffy blanket uses synthetic fill insulation sewn into baffles — lighter, more packable, and better at shedding moisture. A sherpa blanket has a high-pile fleece interior that’s heavier but supremely warm at camp. Both have a place in a well-built kit. Puffy for trips, sherpa for base camps. But our Comforters and Puffy Sherpa blankets combine both. A rip-stop water and stain resistant top shell with a warm, cozy sherpa fleece bottom. Each also have a synthetic polyester fill.
Are Gorilla Dirt blankets machine washable?
Yes. All Gorilla Dirt blankets are machine washable. Cold water, gentle cycle, hang dry. They’re built to be used hard and cleaned easily — not babied.
What size overland comforter fits a rooftop tent?
Most two-person rooftop tents run approximately 55″ x 90″. Our Overland Comforter covers that comfortably. For single-person or smaller RTT setups, our standard puffy blankets and the Rover XP Expedition blanket are sized to fit without excessive overhang.
Can I use a puffy blanket instead of a sleeping bag?
For car camping and overlanding in three-season conditions, yes. Our puffy and sherpa blankets handle the range of temperatures you’ll encounter at camp. For serious cold-weather applications or backpacking where bag ratings matter, a rated sleeping bag is still the right call.
Do you ship outside the United States?
No — not yet. US orders ship free. International shipping is in the works. Most blanket orders ship within 1–2 business days from Murphys, CA.
