Lightweight Blanket

Does anyone make a lightweight blanket for warmer temps?

What are you using?

I was about to ask the same thing. I'm a rather warm sleeper, and being confined to a hammock, it's hard to throw the blanket to the side like I do in a bed.

currently using a military poncho liner. Does me good to about 60 degrees.

For the warmest of the warm times, just a sheet will do.

For something purpose-specific, you could do worse than a Coolmax Liner.

I use a little fleece throw blanket, apparently from one of the airlines. It is just a 6ftX4ft piece of thin gray fleece. It works pretty well for me.

+1 on the poncho liner. I have used mine down to about 40 degrees. I also put a drawstring in one end and glued it together to form a footbox.

My poncho liner is go to choice for a lightweight warm blanket.

Poncho liner is what I took for two weeks on the AT around Memorial Day. Loved the smaller size and lower weight.

When it's really hot out, and I want to throw the blanket to the side, I'll drape it over my ridgeline so that it's over my lower torso. It works well for me.

I recently used a Therm-A-Rest Tech Blanket at around the high 50s low 60s. It folds down into it's own small pocket which is nice. It has some snaps to make a footbox or attach to a Therm-A-Rest sheet. I wouldn't trust it much lower though.
