FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.
How big is a Trek Light blanket?

Every Trek Light blanket measures about 6.5 feet long by 4.1 feet wide and weighs around 3.2 pounds. That's big enough for two people to share, or to drape over a bed, couch, or picnic table. Because each one is handwoven, the exact size can vary by an inch or two.

These are handwoven blankets, so they start with a textured, made-to-be-used feel rather than a fluffy fleece. Here's the best part: they get softer with every wash and every year. That's exactly why so many people say it becomes the most-reached-for blanket in the house.

Every blanket is handwoven by artisans one thread at a time, so colors and patterns shift slightly from piece to piece. That variation is the mark of a real handmade item, not a flaw. For the truest sense of the colors, browse the customer photos in the reviews before you order.

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, on its own, then air dry or tumble low. A little pilling or a few loose threads can show up early with any handwoven piece and settles down with use. So go ahead: use it, wash it, love it, and it'll love you right back.

Every Trek Light blanket is handwoven in Mexico from 100% recycled materials, giving new life to fabric that would otherwise head to the landfill. Each one is designed in Colorado and made to become an heirloom, and we plant a tree for every blanket sold.

Where'd You Get That?!

The color is the first thing people notice, and the compliments start the moment you drape it over the couch. Bold, vibrant, and a little different from anyone else's, it's the piece that makes a room, a van, or a campsite feel like yours.

Goes Everywhere You Do

Movie nights, beach days, lake houses, van trips, picnics in the grass. It lives on the couch and shakes the sand right off just as easily. One blanket for every corner of your life, which is exactly why most people come back for a second.

Like A New Old Friend

Substantial without being heavy, warm on cold nights without the overheating. It starts with a woven, made-to-be-used texture and gets softer every single time you wash it. The blanket you'll still be reaching for years from now.

CouchMovie NightsDecorStargazingGift Giving
Blanket Care

Trek Light's handwoven blankets are machine washable. Wash cold on a delicate cycle and air dry or tumble low, without other items in the machine to avoid any potential damage.

For the safest and best care, the blankets can be dry cleaned. But, we're also fans of Mitch Hedberg's take on dry cleaning: "This [blanket] is dry clean only, which means...it's dirty."

So go ahead, use it, wash it, love it, and your blanket will love you right back.

Blanket Weight

This blanket is what we consider a Midweight blanket, weighing around 3.2 lbs.

An ideal balance of durability, coziness, and warmth - without being overly bulky or heavy.

Note: As a handwoven item, your exact blanket weight may vary slightly, but the overall feel and warmth will be consistent.

Why this price? Each one is handwoven on a loom, not printed, from 100% recycled yarn, and backed by our Lifetime Happiness Guarantee. Made slowly, priced honestly, built to be passed down.

One tree planted, 1-for-1

Every blanket sold plants one tree through our 1-for-1 Giveback. Next time you walk past a forest, you can say with confidence: “Yeah, I helped with that.”

Upgrade Your Space

Trek Light's colorful, handwoven blankets bring life and a splash of style to any space in your home.

I originally purchased one to bring with me to an outdoor concert. It was perfect! I ordered another two for my family to use and now I ordered again because when we're out with friends at the beach or an event someone borrows one.

This blanket is super cute! It seems durable - like it'll hold up well for an adventurous life with kids and dogs. So far, I've brought it to the river and the park. It'll be my new staple for car camping.

My sixth blanket from this company and the third purchased as a gift. The recipient says it’s very warm and is delighted with the weight as well as the dark blue color. I will have to buy more as gifts, my linen closet is full!
B Verified Buyer Newport Blanket

Customers rave about this vibrant, well-made blanket with "beautiful colors" and "great quality." Most praise its softness, perfect weight, and versatility for camping, beaches, or home decor. A few noted color inconsistencies from website photos and one bonus blanket had a mildew smell. Overall, shoppers say it's "worth every penny" and many purchase multiples.

Inconsistent colors

I purchased the Halley’s Comet rug coming in at $175. When I got the rug it had some literal neon colors in it that weren’t on the website. When I reached out they said I should look at customer review photos for realistic colors and that they run differently. So now I have to return it and hope that the exact same rug doesn’t have parking cone orange in it. How many times will I have to do this? Probably going to return it. Not worth the time and money. Also a disclaimer before you purchase to check customer photos for a realistic color scheme would be great.

Hi Greg! We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the blanket you received. We have notices on the product page that explain our blankets are handmade and one of a kind which means there can be variances in the colors, patterns, fringe, etc. The uniqueness of our textiles is what makes them special and a true work of art. We understand that these variances may not work for everyone which is why we immediately offered you a full refund or a free exchange for a different blanket as soon as we heard from you. We hope you're able to find a blanket that you love and if not we're more than happy to issue a full refund.

Stunning blankets

I purchased a few blankets to use in my massage room. These blankets are just stunning, and the colors are even more vibrant in person. My clients have raved about them; not too light and not too heavy, just perfect. The quality is top notch. I plan to slowly add more to my collection!

Bright Colors, Soft, and Cozy

I needed a cozy blanket that my husband and I would use while watching movies on the sofa. I also wanted it to look great draped on the backside of the sofa when not in use. It had met my expectations in both ways. It’s soft and cozy; the colors are so bright and it looks amazing on the back of my sofa.

Simply THE BEST!!!

I am SOOOOO in LOVE with my 2 new Trek Light Gear blankets! They are SUPER COZY/WARM! And sooooo gorgeous with their vivid colors and perfect designs! I gave myself these 2 blankets for Christmas presents. And my family will thank me for them, as well! When I’m not cuddled up underneath one of them, they are being used as ART… displayed on my antique wooden leaning ladder. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Absolutely in love with our blanket!

So I initially learned about this company and the blanket itself when we stayed at an Airbnb for a staycation and the host had it in their living room. And I immediately fell in love. Our first night I went into Trek’s website as I had never heard of them.. and then learned they are a Colorado-based company! My family and I have big ties to CO (lived there for 11 years, both our girls were born there); needless to say it was icing on the cake. This blanket was out of stock, because believe me I tried to buy it that night 😅. So I kept an eye out and I am so glad I did. This blanket is beautiful and cozy and fun. Gives a beautiful pop of color! It’s sturdy too. You think it might be light on warmth but it’s so cozy and perfect! If you’re considering it, buy it. You will absolutely not be disappointed. I’ve also been using it as a yoga blanket too! Super versatile.

So many pre-emails with a lot of hype on “your blankets on the way”! This is how it arrived…. Could have done a better presentation for sure! Arrived open, but Blanket is nice!

We have used this blanket at concerts, camping, and just around the house. It’s a quality blanket and the colorful design makes any activity more fun. The colors are so bright and the heavy weave makes it cushy to cuddle up with. I can’t wait to take it on even more adventures and I have no doubt it will continue to hold up with use over time.

Great Gift

I bought this particular blanket as a gift for my Brother and his Love…They love to go on adventures, they live near the beach and are very active people… It’s my second purchase, the first being a blanket I bought for myself, the Monterey….
I love mine dearly, and now my brother has his own Adventure blanket to take through life… This one is so special, he just texted me last night that they are going to use it as the blanket to put their sweet, precious baby on, and take the stages pictures in her life using the Circle in the middle of blanket. I about fell over…. ❤️ An heirloom for sure.
