As I need a new bedchair cover and checking them out,I came across the Jungle blanket.
Would it be suitable as a bedchair cover( just to keep my Techlite clean really) and I can sleep under it if needs be,which is a bonus.
Thoughts gents?

Absolutely great for summer use or winter use as an extra layer in winter . Only 30 odd quid as well .

I have one, it's ideal for sleeping under on hot nights, however its not waterproof, or wipe clean. I use a trakker cover for the bedchair in winter, as it is more durable and clips to the bedchair to hold it in place .

in theory they're great, but not as a bedchair cover...it says awaterproof outer in the write up but I've never tested mine, the outers very slippy and noisy, and moves around alot. no loops to to attatch to a bed chair and spends more time slipping off. as a throw over in the height of summer to use on its own it works but that's about it

In Summer, and also in Spring and Autumn if it's warm enough, I just use a surplus army jungle sleeping bag either as it is, or on the very warm nights, opened out as a blanket. Or I will use a poncho liner or even just a surplus ex army wool blanket to sleep under.

Also on a cool Summer night, just wrap them round myself for sitting out well into dark before turning in.

All three of them are very cheap and will do the same job as a Snugpak Jungle blanket.

I had,...the jungle sleeping bag ,which is an envelope style bag,it comes with a built in mozzi face ,head net..and un zips to make a throw,like the jungle blanket

I found it OK for sleeping on a thermarest ,in a Vango 2 man tent ,however it's slippery and a constant battle to actually sleep in it ,I tried it as a stand alone cover on my bedchair ,found it less than adequate after a while,initially pleased with it ,disappointed afterwards..gave it away..!

The pack down size was good though...

I got a Snugpak Jungle blanket and when it was winter and I sat on a chair next to my rods when barbel fishing I used it to wrap around me it was just brilliant for that
bedchair cover I used the Gardner DPM Bedchair Cover its got 7 clips so just perfection IMO
