The [Patagonia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-puff-jacket) Macro Puff Blanket is an outdoor-ready product for adventurers looking to keep cozy when spending extended periods of time out in the wilderness. The Fair Trade-certified blanket is made with the same material as the brand's [Macro Puff jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sons-bonnington-puffer-jacket) and features a lightweight design that weighs in at just 27 ounces to make it ideal for carrying to any campsite. The blanket is filled with the [sustainable PlumaFill synthetic insulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-retrox-jacket) that mimics the functionality of down and will work to keep users cozy even in damp conditions.

The Patagonia Macro Puff Blanket is priced at $249 and, although very compact and portable, unfolds to reveal a nearly queen-size design that's for keeping couples comfy in the great outdoors.
