Some of the new gear coming out of Thermarest this year includes the Tech Blanket. This looks pretty cool, and I would love to gear test this product in 2009.

From Thermarest:

Incredibly versatile, there are few reasons not to own one of these. Paired with our new Fitted Sheets it makes an excellent warm-weather sleep option with bed-like comfort. Used alone, it allows you to sprinkle a little warmth into any moment of your adventurous life. Stuff sack included.

° Modular: Mating snaps for use with our Fitted Sheets or another Tech Blanket

° Draw-Corded Foot: Seals out drafts or opens up for better ventilation when used with a Therm-a-Rest Fitted Sheet and mattress

° Versatile: Use as a warm-weather sleep option or alone as a car emergency blanket, campground cozy or anywhere you need portable warmth.

° Dependable: A durable nylon exterior, soft interior and a quilted synthetic filling for years of reliable use.
