Topside Heated Blanket

We've used both the first and latest generation of this blanket. I really appreciate the improvements Ignik made between the two versions, it really shows they listen to their customers and then some when improving their products.

We've used the current blanket throughout the last part of Fall and this Winter in our unheated pop top truck camper in Montana. We use this in conjunction with a 25F double bag and in temps from 15F+ (so far), either as a top blanket or underneath. The heated coverage is excellent, especially going over two people. We really love being able to micro adjust the temp and timing setting, depending on the severity of the weather I'll run it for 2-4 hours at bed time on a lower setting and for an hour in the morning at medium before we get up. It sips power without noticing much of a drop from our 500w battery. The wiring is much better improved on this model, it seems like it'll be durable and isn't very noticeable, but long enough to reach from our cabover bed down to the truck bed. The blanket material itself is very nice and would be an effective blanket without power, my wife uses it at home all the time as well.

I have no critiques, in hind sight I would consider or might pickup their heated under pad/blanket as well. I really like having the heat underneath us and it seems very efficient to heat our bed this way, allowing our sleeping bag to capture the rising heat.

Love this blanket... When it worked. Got 1 weekend trip out of it.

I wish there was an AC adapter because I plug mine into an Ecoflow power bank and the 12 volt plug is always coming out in the middle of the night. The AC would work a lot better. I can’t find a plug

Seriously this is just a great blanket, even without the power. I've used this blanket a lot lately as part of my 4-runner camping setup. I've only had two nights where I've plugged it into my battery and it was great that it shut off after 3 hours because it saved power and I was already too hot. It fits perfectly over my pad and I actually just sleep on top of it in my sleeping bag. The fact that it's made from recycled materials and is a quality built blanket, makes it worth the money for me.

Bought the blanket a while ago ('21), but have only used it indoors with the USB connection (maybe twice). First time we took it out and needed it camping in the cold (30F) the DC connector didn't work on a 500w fully charged battery. Have since tried it on other power sources and no good. So bad DC connector from Ignik.

The design is interesting, the heating elements cover a really small area of the blanket, probably better to use it as a heated pad underneath. There's a small patch for your upper body and a smaller patch for your feet, both down the middle of the blanket. The blanket is big enough to cover 2 people, but the patch design make it better for one person. The USB connector is super short, way shorter than the DC wire (10" vs 4' about), which means you'll need your power source near your head, or have the small foot heated section for your upper body with the connector at your feet. Would've been more useful with 2 wide thinner patches of equal size, if the patch area have to be this small, that would make the blanket more usable.

The Blanket material itself is a soft, thin material and pleasant against the skin. It doesn't seem to be stitched between the layers, so if sitting up the blanket tends to "ooze" off. It is thick enough to provide extra insulation when the power piece fails, would probably be a good layer in mild temps without power.

Hopefully the design's been improved for the current model and price point, wouldn't buy what I have again.
