Choosing the Right Camping CompanionUpdated 5 days ago

Camping Companions — NeckPack™, Slumber Jacket, Slumber Zip Sack & Trooper

Our blankets are just the beginning. VOITED's camping companions are built for the moments around the adventure — the long-haul flight, the chilly night under canvas, the post-surf shiver on the beach. 

Here's what each one does, and how to pick the right one for your trip.

What is the NeckPack™ Travel PillowBlanket™?

The NeckPack™ Travel PillowBlanket™ is your perfect travel companion — a smart 3-in-1 essential that's a soft neck pillow, a cosy travel blanket, and a wrap-around cape, all in one.

The clever bit is in the name: fold the blanket down and it becomes a supportive travel pillow that cradles your head and neck — so no more stiff necks or uncomfortable naps on the plane. Open it back up and you've got a full blanket to keep you warm on a chilly flight or a breezy campsite; wrap it around your shoulders and it's a hands-free cape. As VOITED puts it: pillow, blanket, packed — the NeckPack™ does the job of both, in half the space.

It's reversible, with a durable water-repellent 50D recycled Ripstop on one side and a soft, insulating 100% recycled polar fleece on the other — so you get weather protection and snuggly warmth in the same piece. Lightweight and packable, it slips easily into a backpack or carry-on, and it's machine washable at 30°C and quick-drying for easy care.

Best for: long-haul flights, road trips, train journeys, and everyday adventures where you want a pillow and a blanket without the bulk of both.

Slumber Jacket vs Slumber Zip Sack — which suits my trip?

Both are built to keep you warm when the temperature drops — the difference comes down to one question: do you want to move around, or settle in?

Slumber Jacket — warmth on the move

From adventure to sleep in one zip. The Slumber Jacket is a genuinely convertible piece: wear it as a warm, puffy coat, then unzip it into a full-body sleeping bag without losing any warmth. It uses PrimaLoft® RISE insulation — a recycled, down-like synthetic fill — behind a 50D recycled Ripstop REPREVE® shell with a fluorine-free water-repellent finish (13,000mm water column, 5,000mm breathability). Because you can walk around in it, it's the one to take when you want to stay warm and keep moving.

Best for: music festivals, standing around the campfire, cold mornings at camp, and post-surf or post-snowboard warm-ups.

Slumber Zip Sack — sleep warm, open flat

Sleeping bag meets blanket. The Slumber Zip Sack has all the versatility of our PillowBlankets™, now with a two-way zip that lets it close into a snug sleeping sack or open completely flat into a 162 × 207 cm blanket. It's made from REPREVE® Our Ocean™ recycled fabric with a water-repellent shell and breathable insulation for cocoon-like, extended-season warmth — with a comfort rating of 13°C (55°F), a cool rating of 10°C (50°F), and a limit of 7°C (45°F) — and it packs into its own stuff sack with an integrated pillow.

Best for: sleeping warm on camping and van trips, cosy nights at home, and anyone who wants a roomy sleeping bag that doubles as a blanket.

The short version: 

• if you need to stay warm while you're up and about, choose the Slumber Jacket. 
• If warmth and sleep comfort matter most, choose the Slumber Zip Sack.

Is the Trooper a poncho or a blanket?

Both — and a bit more. The Trooper is a 3-in-1 poncho-blanket that works as a camp blanket, a hooded poncho, and a changing robe.

Here's how it transforms: lay it out flat and it's a classic camp blanket for lounging or picnicking. Then use the snap buttons along the edge to close it into a hooded poncho — keeping you warm and dry with your hands free, and giving you enough cover to change underneath (handy for getting out of a wetsuit). One piece of gear, three jobs.

It's crafted from 100% recycled REPREVE® Our Ocean™ fabric made from ocean-bound plastic — through VOITED's CleanHub partnership, around 15 plastic bottles' worth of ocean plastic is collected for every Trooper. The water-resistant, breathable shell shrugs off wind and rain and resists rips and dirt, while the high-loft hollow-fibre insulation keeps it warm yet lightweight and compressible (the whole thing weighs just 1.47kg and has a comfort rating down to 11°C / 52°F). Practical touches include a kangaroo pocket for warming your hands and a zip pocket for your essentials, and it packs into its own stuff sack. Machine washable at 30°C.

Best for: surfers and wild swimmers needing a changing layer, plus campers and van lifers who want a wearable, weatherproof blanket.

Good to know: All of VOITED's camping companions are machine washable at 30°C (86°F) — use minimal detergent and don't tumble dry.
