I have two of them in different sizes, but I like them for layering (using with a sheet or a wool blanket). Depending on how cold you run at night, it may not be enough (not sure if they offer a temp rating on their website.)
If you have an REI close by they typically carry them. I also have a couple. They pack down nice and small and are super comfortable. I don’t think they are all that warm. I’d compare them to a slightly thicker, way more expensive woobie. I still take my woobie everywhere.

No experience with the rumpl but love the design. I do however have a couple of the Eddie Bauer Sherpa fleece down blankets. They are super warm and compress moderately. They go on super sale every year around Christmas.

I recently bought a Rumple, haven't actually used it yet, but I think some of what I learned might help:
There are three levels of quality
- Synthetic - called The Original (around $100 at REI)
- Really Nice Synthetic called Nanoloft (around $130 at REI)
- authentic Down (Around $180 at REI) - I can't remember what its called because $180
Each higher grade is more compact and lighter than the grade below it. Noticeably lighter and more compact.
The stuff sack for the Original (synthetic) is just barely big enough to stuff it back in without cursing too much.
Quality of blanket material, seams, stitching, and tie down loops seems really good. Stuff Sack feels like it will burst or tear at the seams when stuffing it in. Be careful with it.
The single person is generously sized, at 80'x50"
The Original version, and I think the Nanoloft version, are made from recycled plastic bottles. Kinda cool.

You might want to check out the blankets at Crazy Crow Trading Company. I've purchased about 6 of the Missouri River Brand Blankets from the cheapest to their most expensive and like all of them. The fleece is warm, large, and easy to wash. Not to mention, inexpensive. They make great camp blankets.

Those look great. Ordering one to replace our old camp fleece that the dog took over. Thanks.
We have a NanoLoft Puffy and like it very much. Chose this over the other options because we did not want down due to moisture/condensation ruining its insulation value, and it is 100% post consumer waste so at least on the surface better for the environment. In practice, without a heater, in our TigerMoth trailer it is comfortable down to about 40d without any added insulation. Below that 40d level some combination of a heater, long underwear, or an additional cover is needed. Would get it again.

I’m just glad the rumple ads are gone.
