Versa Blanket: How to Use It for Camping and Beyond

Quick answer

The Klymit Versa Blanket is a versatile outdoor blanket that can be used as a sleeping bag liner, travel pillow, picnic blanket, or shared wrap for two.

How to use the Versa Blanket

1. 1. Set up as a camp blanket or picnic mat: Lay the blanket flat on the ground or over a sleeping pad. The 58 x 80 inch size covers one person fully or two people sitting side by side. Use the corner snaps to secure it to a tent floor or to another blanket if needed. Avoid using it directly on wet ground; use a waterproof groundsheet underneath.
2. 2. Convert into a travel pillow: Stuff the blanket into its own foot box (the sewn pocket at one end). Cinch the cord to close it. The result is a soft pillow roughly the size of a standard camp pillow. It stores easily in the foot box when not in use. Don't overstuff; the pillow should be firm but not hard. Adjust the amount of fabric for your preferred loft.
3. 3. Use as a sleeping bag liner or extra layer: Snap the corner snaps together to form a loose bag shape. Slide inside your sleeping bag for added warmth, or use it alone on mild nights. The foot box keeps your feet contained. Check that the blanket doesn't bunch up inside your bag. Smooth it out before zipping up.
4. 4. Share with a friend: Unsnap all corners and lay the blanket flat. Two people can sit or lie side by side under the 58 x 80 inch coverage. The cinch cord can be used to tighten one end around both sets of shoulders. For two people, avoid pulling the blanket too tight; it should drape loosely for comfort.
