Comments about Therm-a-Rest Tech Blanket - Regular:
Note: I'm only 5'5" but I ended up swapping the Regular size for the Large tech blanket, because in a cold snap/cooler evening I wanted to be able to pull the blanket up over my head.
Overall, the design of the tech blanket is good. The nylon finish feels like a sleeping bag, no better no worse. The interior side would be more comfortable if it had a different finish, since nylon isn't that comfortable against the skin in warm, humid weather. I thought that the loft was perfect for a summer cover, and coupled with a sleep sack to manage moisture I was very comfortable on a recent multiday trip with nighttime temps in the mid 50's, with high humidity. I'm certain I would have been warm enough without the sleep sack, but it helped with the humidity. The blanket packs into itself pretty compactly, but you could compress it further with a small stuff sack to pack most efficiently.
I also picked up the therm-a-rest sleep sheet to go with my mat, and this couples nicely with it. If you're backpacking, you may be able to find a blanket with a better weight-to-warmth ratio, but the price is right and I enjoyed using this blanket for casual camping.
