Look no further, these premium throw blankets will definitely keep you cozy this fall season.

Whether you haul it along on a winter hike or bring it to the beach for a bonfire, this waterproofed, padded, and double-insulated blanket is built to withstand the toughest use while still keeping you warm and cozy.

Like you, this blanket thrives on travel — take it from the campsite to the stadium to the couch, and you’re practically guaranteed to find someone who wants to share it with you.
Pendleton Yakima Camp Throw
You know that one shirt that you spend most of the cold season in? The beat-up heavyweight plaid that, like a fine wine, only gets better with age? If you’ve ever wished you could have a whole blanket made from that shirt, you’re in luck. The Pendleton Yakima Camp Throw brings all the same vibes to your midday slumbers. That soft, nappy texture; those bright, warm colors; the cozy yet breathable weight like a full-body-hug; even the faintly beardy smell … it’s all in this blanket.

Rumpl Puffy Down Blanket
Down doesn’t just belong to comforters and coats – it works just as well in a throw blanket. Rumpl’s Puffy Down Blanket takes its 600-fill goose-down self and wraps you up in cloud-like comfort to the point where you might never want to move again. What’s better, if you happen to be caught nearly comatose in the blanket during a snooze outside, feel free to disregard a light sprinkle. The durable nylon fabric exterior repels water, stains, dirt, and odor, and allows this blanket to stay dry, all while maintaining its super lightweight.
RH 555-Gram Cashmere Throw
So you’re looking for something a little more deluxe. We present for your consideration the 555-gram Mongolian cashmere throw from RH. What makes it so soft, you ask? Being sourced exclusively from the undercoat of specially bred goats. (It’s basically the pork belly of blanket fibers.) But don’t let its delicate texture and silky softness fool you — cashmere is eight times warmer than sheep’s wool, making for a blanket that is light, but certainly no lightweight. Available in a wide range of jewel-rich tones and tailored with a sumptuous four-inch fringe, this is a blanket fit for a king.
Overland Nordic Palace Premium Australian Sheepskin Throw

But since it’s not, wrapping yourself in a luxurious shearling throw is definitely the next best thing. This sheepskin throw blanket from Overland is the last word in cozy indulgence. Verging on nine pounds of premium-grade, genuine Australian sheepskin, eco-tanned to a tawny finish, this blanket features a pile so high you could get lost in it. Its wide, extra-fluffy border, tipped in dark gold, makes it look that much more like a noble pet from a Nordic fantasy novel, waiting to wrap you in a welcoming hug. Yes, this blanket is extra. But sometimes extra is, to quote Goldilocks, just right.
