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.

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.

it's a Magical Blanket.

So I've had the Humboldt since May '19 and I love LOVE LOVE it.

Indoors? Best blanket. Outdoors? Best blanket.

Loved it so much, I *had* to get one for my wife in her favorite color! Doesn't matter if its's cold, warm, cool or chilly this blanket always feels "just right". Have loaned it to friends at music fests and camping, they call it the "grandma" blanket (tm) because it always feels like a loving hug from grandma...

Katniss approves too, she was confused when the second blanket showed up!

Not the same quality as a few years ago

I purchased one of these blankets maybe 3-4 years ago and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Like I'm talking tell everyone you know about it, best blanket I have ever owned hands down. Here's why: It was super thick, really the perfect weight- not quite like a weighted blanket but beefy enough to offer some solid pressure when curling up on the couch or napping with it; it also had the best warmth to air flow/wicking ratio I've ever had in a blanket (I didn't even know that was a thing until I had this blanket)...this thing was SO INSANELY WARM like perfectly toasty and yet it never once made me sweat (you know when your feet get kinda sweaty but you want to keep the blanket on? None of that here), it truly offered the perfect warm, dry heat.
NOW notice I used all past tense there... I just purchased 2 new blankets with the two for one deal (saw the deal and couldn't resist because I was so obsessed with my first blanket). The new blankets I received did not have the same thickness or weight to them. It was definitely the same material, but the quality felt less solid, almost like they said "hey, nobody will notice if we make these just a tad thinner". I get it! BUT I noticed and it made a huge difference to me and for the price of these blankets, I couldn't justify it. I sadly had to return them. I did compare the two new blankets to my old one and it is significantly thicker (I had to be sure I wasn't dreaming this up). I have to say because I loved the first blanket so much, I will keep an eye out here and maybe buy again in a while to see if the quality went back up but for now, ugh MAN I am SO bummed!

Hi Katie! Thank you so much for your feedback. We haven't changed the materials of our blankets at all. The reason why the Newport Blanket feels thinner is because it's a solid color blanket. Less yarn is used to make these blankets since they don't have patterns with multiple colors of yarn running through them. They're still very warm but weigh less and may feel thinner overall as you described because they are one color instead of 3-5 like our patterned options. Please always reach out to us directly if you are unhappy! We're a small two person husband & wife business and we're always here to help and want to make sure you receive products that you love.

Cozy and fabulous

Our future daughter-in-law gave us the red blanket as a gift. Love its artisan look and feel. Perfect for chilled feet at night, and as a wrap while watching tv. Then I ordered two in navy, for the guest bedroom and one for our elderly cousin who is always cold.

Thank you for the review, Marlene! We're so happy to be able to help keep you and your loved ones warm.

Great blanket

Overall it’s really great. Personally I could do without the “frills” on the ends of the blanket and I wish it was a little heavier but that doesn’t detract from it. Totally worth it and I am really happy.
