Nice, not great, but nice.

This blanket is good for warm-weather camping, as the description suggests, though it may make you billow sweat in hot weather. The shell material is comfortable and the "fluff" is ample. The large size packs down well, but not enough for backpacking; great for canoe trips. If the night falls cold (below 50F) and you chill easily, you will probably shiver while using this blanket. One upside to the synthetic material is that it will insulate (best as it can) both above and below you, as it is not subject to the problems down has when compressed under the body of a sleeper. This can be very important when unexpected cold snaps hit you while using a low R value sleeping pad (again, within the limits of this blanket's insulation capacity, which is regrettably not specified by the manufacturer). Another nice feature is, if you're on the trim side, the snaps along the sides of this blanket can be joined together and the drawsting at the bottom pulled tight to create a makeshift sleeping bag that works very well. This has saved me some comfort more than once when I underpacked and weather turned for the worse. That approach works best if you roll the snapped edge of the blanket beneath you so cool air doesn't creep into the spaces between snaps.
