One part blanket, one part poncho with a sprinkle of hoodie? We’re in. REI’s Campwell Camp Wrap is all of that and more. This insulated camp essential features front buttons that allow for full closure, water-repellent tech, and even folds out flat into a full blanket for extra cold nights. We have a feeling you’ll never take it off… but if you do, the included easy-to-pack stuff sack is a nice touch as well.
