COCOON Travel Blanket

I don’t know about you, but airline blankets gross me out. But, I’m not a huge fan of freezing either. So what’s a travel girl to do?

Fashionistas swear by a Pashmina for warmth, and for years I carried a woolly warm Mexican rebozo. But thanks to rising checked bag fees and shrinking carry-on allowances, those days are gone. Just too much bulk.

If you’re feeling my vibe here, then you’ll love my latest find; the COCOON travel blanket. When you consider that it squashes into it’s own tiny stuff sac, is lightweight and fits easily into my laptop bag, you don’t have to be germ-phobic to recognize that it’s a great travel staple.

Better yet, throw in one of their ultra compact air core, memory foam, or down travel pillows (my fave) and you’ll be the envy of coach class. 

You can find COCOON products at www.cocoonusa.com and The Travel Store at EllenBarone.com powered by Amazon.com.

What are the dimensions of the blankets? Will they work for a 8' man? Thanks.Please respond to my email.

P.S. You really should have this info on your website.

Good question. My apologies for not including dimensions.

Here they are:

DIMENSIONS: 55" X 70" packs into a stuff-sack that is only 3.5" X 7" and weighs just 11 oz.

Happy trails,

Ellen
