The Woobie is a highly versatile piece of Army field gear, pulling triple duty:
- You can use it anytime as a simple blanket.
- It includes ties that allow you to wear it as a poncho or poncho liner.
- It also has a 2-way zipper that lets you use it as a sleeping bag.
If you’ll be out in the backcountry, the US Army Woobie 3 in 1 Survival Blanket is an important inclusion in your camping and survival gear loadout. It is lightweight for the warmth and coverage it provides, and fits unobtrusively in your bag or pack.
Woobie Features
- The Woobie is constructed with 210T polyester rip-stop fabric for ruggedness.
- It uses a smooth-performing two-way nylon zipper.
- The design includes snaps along the outer edge to keep out the wind and cold.
- The Woobie comes with a 210T polyester rip-stop compression stuff sack for storage, minimizing its space in your bag.
- Dimensions: The US Army Woobie 3 in 1 Survival Blanket measures 86” L × 64” W and weighs 1.9 lbs.
Sleeping Bag Special Features
The sleeping bag mode of the US Army Woobie is especially clever:
- The zippers are designed to zip two Woobies together into one so that you can sleep two people and combine body heat in an emergency survival situation.
- Double sets of pull tabs let you zip or unzip the Woobie from inside or outside the sleeping bag — no need to fumble around.
The zipper design gives you the option of leaving the bottom of the sleeping bag open, forming a “tube” shape so that you can use the Woobie as a sleeping bag with your military socks and boots on. This is useful if you need to preserve your mobility or don’t want to deal with taking your boots off.
