# Waterproof Marine Blankets The Boat Blanket Keeps Users Warm and Dry By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-06-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boat-blanket References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/boat-blanket-wool-waterproof-surfaces-05-31-2014/) & [oniprojects](http://oniprojects.com/) The Boat Blanket by [Studio O](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments-becoming)/I will help people who love being out on the open seas stay dry and warm at the same time. Considering who wet one can get while out fishing or even enjoying the waves on a yacht, it's a surprise that this item wasn't developed sooner. Most of the time people have to come prepared with [waterproof jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-deep-sea-diver-hoodie) to stay warm and dry, but keeping a spare set of these [boat blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumpl-x-snow-peak-nanoloft-takibi-blanket) are perfect for a backup plan. The risk of catching hypothermia while out in cold weather and becoming damp at the same time could be deadly, so the Boat Blanket by Studio I/O could potentially save lives. For boat owners, don't risk not being prepared, and consider stashing a couple of these products under the hull.
