Blog Series: 12/14 | RumplI love quality, well-made products. Working in advertising as a creative, from the giant agencies to the boutiques, has given me a unique perspective. It's not always about the big names you know; sometimes, it's the ones you don't that capture your eye.
Now, stepping away from agency life with Overland Girl, I'm spotlighting the brands that ignite my passion and confidence. With my creative roots and a career that's crossed paths with both the well-known and the obscure, I'm excited to share the brands that stand out—not just for their products but for their stories, commitment, and undeniable spirit. This blog is part of a series where I highlight some of the most unique and inspiring outdoor brands. Let’s dive into the world of these hidden gems, exploring what makes them tick and, perhaps, finding the one that speaks to you. You might already know these brands; if so, that’s great: Mammut, Black Crows, Wild Rye, Stio, Snow Peak, Dragon Alliance, Big Agnes, Mountain Gazette, Wild Sam, HipCamp, and Rovr Coolers. Today, I’m excited to focus on Rumpl, a brand that redefines outdoor comfort.

The Story Behind Rumpl.
Rumpl was founded in 2013 by two friends, Wylie Robinson and Nick Polinko, who were inspired after an impromptu camping trip in the cold. The duo realized that their sleeping bags provided better warmth and comfort than any blanket they had used, so they created a blanket that offered the same level of performance. One of those brand stories that makes you wonder, "Why didn’t I think of that?"
Why Rumpl Blankets Are Ideal for Camping and Everyday Use
Comfort is paramount when it comes to outdoor adventures, and Rumpl is a brand that has mastered the art of combining the coziness of home with the rugged durability needed for the outdoors. Rumpl brings the warmth and style that people want in their outdoor adventures. Let’s look at what makes Rumpl blankets a perfect fit for outdoor enthusiasts.
What Makes Rumpl Blankets Stand Out
Rumpl is also a Certified B Corporation, which means they meet high standards for social and environmental responsibility—something we prioritize at Overland Girl.
High-Performance Materials: Rumpl blankets are made from the same technical materials used in premium outdoor gear, such as sleeping bags and puffy jackets. This ensures they are lightweight, packable, and offer excellent insulation, keeping you warm in various weather conditions.

Eco-Friendly Construction: Many of Rumpl’s products are crafted from post-consumer recycled materials, like plastic bottles, demonstrating their commitment to sustainability without sacrificing performance or comfort.
Durability and Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand the elements, Rumpl blankets are water-resistant and stain-resistant, making them ideal for camping, picnicking, or any outdoor adventure where you might encounter unpredictable conditions.
Compact and Portable Design: Rumpl blankets are easy to pack and carry, thanks to their compact design and the included stuff sack. They’re perfect for throwing in a backpack or keeping in the car for spontaneous adventures.
Versatile Use Cases: Whether you’re camping in the mountains, having a beach bonfire, or needing an extra layer for a chilly evening outdoors, Rumpl blankets are versatile enough to meet any need.
Stylish Designs: Beyond functionality, Rumpl offers a wide range of colors and patterns, including limited-edition designs, that make their blankets not just practical but also stylish accessories for any outdoor setting.
The Original Puffy Blanket: The One That Started It All
The Original Puffy Blanket is the core of what makes Rumpl iconic. It’s the first product they launched, and it set the tone for their entire brand ethos. Lightweight, packable, and incredibly warm, it’s made with a weather-resistant 30D ripstop polyester shell and insulation that mimics down but is made from 100% recycled materials.
This is the blanket you throw in the back of the Jeep, take to music festivals, drape over your shoulders at a mountain overlook, or keep handy for an unexpected chill. It holds up in the wild and looks great doing it. It's also machine washable, making it as low-maintenance as it is cozy.
Whether you choose a bold print or a neutral color, the Original Puffy is a go-to comfort piece that blends Rumpl’s commitment to design, performance, and sustainability. I love my Puffy Blanket.
Product Spotlight: Rumpl Flame-Resistant Blankets
Rumpl’s flame-resistant blankets are designed for cozy nights around the fire without worrying about stray sparks—we all know too well that sparks will fly, and you’ll end up jumping up to make sure you're not on fire. Built with fire-resistant fabric and Rumpl’s signature recycled insulation, they’re ideal for campsites, van life, or backyard gatherings.
The NanoLoft® Flame Blanket is a standout in this category. It combines safety, warmth, and packability into one smart design. Whether you're bundled up next to a fire pit or keeping warm on a chilly night outdoors, this blanket is engineered for comfort and peace of mind.
