Outdoor music festivals are tons of fun and certainly not limited to just summertime. By a certain point in the fall, though, it can get just a bit too chilly to enjoy yourself without a little extra layering. This may be a good thing, because adding layers is a great way to express yourself and show off your style. Out of the endless choices of outerwear on the market, some are especially well suited to festival use.
Rumpl: The Original Puffy Blanket
Available in one- and two-person versions, this advanced blanket uses some of the same technology found in high-end hiking and camping gear, so you can be sure it holds in heat well. Possibly the biggest pros of this one are the corner loops and cape clips that let you keep it wrapped around you no matter where you go on the festival grounds.
