1. What are the FNO Integrated Camping Blanket shipping terms?
It is free! Shipping costs can be high for a product like this so at FNO we offer standard shipping in order to keep the costs translated to the customer low. This means the customer pays nothing and all goods are delivered within 5-7 days of shipment.
2. What are the shipping terms on other items?
All other items sold at FNO come with free standard shipping. This means we provide the lowest cost shipping to our customers and all products are delivered within the week of purchase.
3. How do you clean the blanket?
Luckily with our design you can still clean both components as you would your standard sleeping bag. We recommend washing with cold water and drying with no/low heat as you would with a standard sleeping bag.
4. What is Superloft Synthetic Fill?
Superloft fill is a unique synthetic composition we worked with our manufacturer to develop in order to best mimic the properties of down. The filling is composed of short-strand microfibers that make it highly compressible, very soft, and feel as much like down as we could design. It also has impressive water resistance qualities. The biggest disadvantage is expense, but we think we did well not to pass this on to customers.
5. How do you store the FNO Integrated Camping Blanket?
"Fluff it, don't stuff it". With nearly all insulation materials the usefulness of the material is in its loft. Storing a product in a compressed area, such as a stuff sack, can limit loft over time. Therefore it is recommended that the FNO Integrated Camping Blanket is either hung or stored in a storage sack. The FNO Integrated Camping Blanket can be hung via sturdy coat hanger, or stored in a larger sack such as an REI storage sack or even a simple mesh laundry bag.
6. Is the FNO Integrated Camping Blanket intended for camping for backpacking?
The blanket can be used for both, but the target market of this design is the camper. Quilts are traditionally backpacking designs, but the goal of the blanket is to open up the advantages of traditional backpacking quilts to campers. However the blanket intends to minimize the temperature restrictions of many quilts and allow for 3-season use.
7. Is my sleeping pad too big for this design?
As mentioned in the video, almost all standard single sleeping pads can be used with this design. Mummy-style designs do work best, but others can definitely be accommodated. 25" width (larger pad) is a more snug fit, and pad thickness plays a role too. In certain situations a thicker pad (2"+) could just mean a more snug fit when fully integrated. As seen, a goal of the design was to encompass as many pad options as possible.
8. Please explain how the blankets can be used as a couples bag.
Two blankets can be laid together, and clasped together with the footboxes inserted in one another, to make a couples sleeping solution. We have used it before for two people and found it comfortable. However this is not the primary purpose of the blanket. This is a secondary function of the blanket, and we saw the final award tier (on Kickstarter) as an awesome option to receive a discount on two blankets. We now offer a similar discount here on our website!
9. What are your international shipping terms?
In regards to international shipping we are happy to work each order case by case. This may seem strange at first, but we're a small operation and intend to keep it that way. So if you have an order you would like shipped international shoot us an email on the 'Contact Us' page and we can create a custom order for you.
P.S. If you're from the snowy land up north (Canada) we'll still do free shipping! We're neighbors after all.
10. Do you make blankets specifically for women and men?
You may know that many sleeping bag brands make different sleeping bag sizes and fills to accommodate the different sexes. Fortunately FNO camping blankets can be adapted to the user, based on their body size and comfort level. Our blankets accommodate both men and women comfortably, and our reviews second this!
11. In the case I do want to return the blanket, what are the terms?
You can find our guarantee here. We guarantee you will like the gear your purchase or you can return it for a full refund within the first 30 days. All you need to shoot us an email on our contact form, and send the blanket back to us as directed. Then you will receive a full refund on your purchase- no risk, all reward!
