This Cordless Heated Blanket From Amazon Is So Travel-friendly

I can’t make it through winter without my electric blanket. Now through February, it will be a permanent fixture in my home. If I had known that portable heated blankets existed before I bought mine, I would have been taking one everywhere with me 

It’s true—you can buy a battery-operated version that eschews the bulky cord, so you can get instant warmth anywhere, without being tethered to a wall. Why is this beneficial? Well, think about all the times you’ve gotten cold on a plane, on road trips, or while camping. This rechargeable electric blanket, currently on sale thanks to an on-site coupon, seems like the ultimate comfort item to pack for travel, especially fall and winter trips.

This $70 heated blanket on Amazon runs on a detachable 8,000-mAh battery pack. It’s about 63 inches by 31.5 inches, 2.7 pounds, and zips together at two of the corners so you can wear it like a shawl. It operates with a single button, conveniently located on the chest if you’re wearing it. You can press that button once for the highest temperature (131 degrees), twice for the medium setting (118 degrees), and three times for the lowest setting (104 degrees). Reviewers say that on a low setting, the blanket’s battery can last up to 8 hours.

The blanket contains carbon nanotubes (CNTs) heated by far-infrared technology packed inside the exterior layers of the “heavenly” faux fur. It can be washed and even packed on flights. The lithium-ion battery pack is TSA-friendly so long as it stays in the cabin of the plane and not the cargo hold. It’s just like the power banks you would use for your phone. The blanket comes with a USB charging cable, a pocket for the battery, and a stuff sack for storage and travel. 

“I can’t help but share the joy it’s brought into my winter adventures,” one shopper said. “Whether I’m off on a spontaneous camping trip, attending outdoor events, or just hitting the road for a spontaneous journey, the zipper design makes this blanket so easy to carry along.” They compared the instantaneous warmth to “a comforting hug on chilly days” and described the blanket as “an essential part of [their] winter gear, adding warmth and coziness to every moment.”

You could keep it in your car for cold-weather trips and emergencies, bring it to sporting events, or sit around a campfire with it—no need to plug it in. One person called it “lightweight and so easy to travel with.”
