"IS IT SUPPOSED TO SNOW TONIGHT?"

FEB 2013
IT STARTED ON A ROAD TRIP...

Our founders were sleeping in their car, several miles up a dirt road near a secret hot spring. They awoke the next morning to a crisp powder day with sub-zero temperatures... and a car that wouldn’t start. Far outside of cell reception and confronted with an impossibly long walk to the nearest town, they decided to bundle up in their sleeping bags and drink whiskey while they waited for someone else to show up.

MINUTES TURNED TO HOURS...

and the conversation took an unexpected turn to the subject of bedding. Cozy and warm in their sleeping bags, the two acknowledged how much better the materials felt and performed than what was on their beds back home. A resolve was made to create a “sleeping bag blanket” and the idea for the Original Rumpl blanket was conceived.

JAN 2014
THE FIRST KICKSTARTER

Armed with basic prototypes we launched the Original Puffy Blanket on Kickstarter. The crowd went wild and we were over 100% backed in hours. With that, the fire was lit & Rumpl was born. Backers received their very first Original Puffy Blankets in July.

Around the time our first Kickstarter was taking off, we realized that we had stumbled upon a much bigger idea than a single product. Despite centuries of textile development in the apparel and fashion industries, relatively few of these innovations have been applied to the everyday blanket.

We think it’s time to change that.

THE COLDEST NIGHT ON RECORD.

TWO SLEEPING BAGS & A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY.

While waiting for rescue, our founders came to the agreement that the materials in their sleeping bags felt and performed way better what was on their beds back home. They decided to invent a “sleeping bag blanket"... as soon as the tow truck arrived.
Since those humble beginnings we’ve learned that—
for many people—the basic blanket just doesn’t cut it anymore. That’s why we use material technologies developed for outdoor gear and activewear to modernize the everyday blanket.
 
Over the years, we’ve grown into a company that isn’t just inspired by the outdoors, but committed to preserving it. In the summer of 2019 we redesigned our core line of blankets to incorporate 100% post-consumer recycled plastic wherever possible. In 2019 alone we’ve reclaimed over 3 million discarded plastic bottles, reducing our dependence on virgin plastic.
 
We’re proud to be a member of 1% For The Planet, and we’re a Climate Neutral-committed brand, joining the freshman class of brands dedicated to leaving the world a better place than how we found it.
