When it comes to lofty warmth, nothing beats natural down. And for all-round versatility, a camp blanket has a lot to offer, giving far more freedom than a mummy-style bag when it comes to sleeping, as well as being much easier to wrap around your shoulders on a chilly night under the stars. But how do you find one that doesn’t cost the earth? Kelty’s lightweight and compressible Galactic Down blanket is the affordable answer to this camping conundrum. It has a silky-soft polyester shell stuffed with toasty 550-fill power down, topped off with a funky ‘cosmos camo’ print
You’ll probably find a Kelty pack or tent at every trailhead and campground in the 50 states, from Alaska to New Mexico. They’re one of the biggest and best-loved US outdoor gear brands. In fact, American entrepreneurial spirit is in Kelty’s DNA. Just as Henry Ford is forever associated with the Ford Motor Company, Kelty is closely associated with its founder, Asher ‘Dick’ Kelty. A tireless inventor and passionate outdoorsman, Kelty developed a host of innovations in outdoor gear, including the first aluminium frame backpack, the first waist-belt, the first padded shoulder straps and the first zippered pockets. Those are all design elements that are still found on almost every quality trekking pack sold today.
In the 1960s and 70s, these technical advances were so ground-breaking that Kelty packs were carried on expeditions to Everest, K2, Cholatse and Antarctica. But just as importantly, Kelty’s affordable and widely available packs encouraged thousands of Americans to explore the backwoods and mountains of their own country.
Today, Kelty is still dedicated to getting everyone outdoors, with a wide range of sleeping bags, tents and other outdoor equipment – including, of course, its iconic packs.
