The Rumpl Original Puffy and the Voited CloudTouch are the two outdoor blankets that come up again and again — and if you only buy one, the choice usually comes down to these. They look similar on a product page, but they’re built for slightly different jobs. This guide compares them on the things that actually matter around a campfire, on a wet touchline or in the back of a van.
AT A GLANCE | WARMTH | WEATHERPROOFING | VERSATILITY | PACKABILITY | SUSTAINABILITY | PRICE | VERDICT
Both blankets feature in our wider best camping blankets round-up, where they sit at the premium end alongside the YETI Lowlands and Kelty Bestie. Here we’re going deeper on the two head to head — pitting Rumpl’s puffy, packable design against Voited’s plush, do-everything CloudTouch.
Short on time? Jump to the verdict. Otherwise, here’s how they stack up.
Rumpl vs Voited at a Glance
If you take nothing else from this page: choose the Rumpl Original Puffy if packability, weight and bold designs matter most, and choose the Voited CloudTouch if you want maximum warmth, a plush feel and one blanket that converts into a poncho, pillow and more. Here’s the head-to-head:
| Rumpl Original Puffy | VOITED CloudTouch | |

Warmth & Insulation
This is the clearest difference between the two. The Voited CloudTouch is the warmer blanket. Its three-layer construction — brushed sherpa fleece, 3D Featherlight Fiber insulation and a Ripstop REPREVE outer — is rated to 8°C and, just as importantly, feels warm the instant it touches you, that immediate cosy hit you want when the temperature drops after sunset. It’s the one to reach for on cold-weather camps and chilly autumn evenings.
The Rumpl Original Puffy is no slouch — its 240gsm hollow-fibre fill gives solid three-season warmth, the same principle as a puffy jacket — but it’s a lighter, more packable kind of warm. The trade-off is deliberate: at 952g versus the Voited’s 1630g, Rumpl keeps weight and bulk down, so it’s a touch cooler than the plush CloudTouch in genuinely cold conditions. For summer camping, festivals and stadium blankets it’s more than enough; for hard frosts, the CloudTouch wins.
Winner: Voited CloudTouch — warmer and cosier in cold weather. Rumpl is warm enough for most three-season use.
Water Resistance & Weatherproofing
Both blankets shrug off light rain, dew and spilled drinks thanks to a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish — neither is fully waterproof, and neither is designed to be sat on soaking ground all day (that’s where a dedicated ground blanket like the YETI Lowlands pulls ahead). For damp grass, a surprise shower or campfire sparks, both cope well.
The meaningful distinction is how they repel water. Voited uses a fluorine-free (PFC-free) eco DWR, which is the more environmentally responsible coating. Rumpl’s water repellency works well but has historically used a conventional chemical DWR. If weatherproofing performance is all you care about, it’s close to a draw; if you care about the chemistry, Voited has the edge.
Winner: Draw on performance — Voited ahead on eco-friendly coating. For genuinely wet ground, see our full camping blankets guide.
Versatility & Features
Versatility is VOITED’s home turf. The CloudTouch uses a system of press-studs so the same blanket becomes a wearable poncho, folds down into its own pillow, and snaps into a sleeping-bag-style cocoon. If you want one object that earns its place by doing several jobs — blanket on the sofa, poncho at the festival, pillow in the tent — this is it.
The Rumpl Original Puffy is more single-minded: it’s a brilliant blanket first and foremost. It does offer a cape clip so you can wear it hands-free around your shoulders, but it doesn’t transform the way the VOITED does. One quirk worth knowing — Rumpl’s ripstop shell is a little slippery and “rustly,” so it can slide off a lap more readily than the grippier, plusher VOITED blanket.
Winner: Voited CloudTouch — the convertible design is genuinely useful.
Weight & Packability
Here the tables turn in Rumpl’s favour. The Original Puffy compresses into a small, light bundle — the same packability that makes puffy jackets so travel-friendly — so it slips into a backpack, panniers or a festival bag without a second thought. If you’re carrying your blanket any distance, Rumpl is the easy pick.
The CloudTouch, at 1630g with all that plush sherpa and multi-layer warmth, is inevitably bulkier and heavier. It packs down into its built-in pouch, but it’s happier living in the car, the van or the tent than being hauled up a trail. That’s the cost of its cosiness. (If you love the brand but need to carry it, Voited’s lighter 835g Ripstop blanket — also in our main guide — splits the difference.)
Winner: Rumpl Original Puffy — lighter and more packable for travel and backpacking.
Sustainability
Both brands build their blankets from recycled outer fabrics, so neither is a poor choice environmentally. Voited edges ahead with its fluorine-free DWR coating — avoiding the PFC “forever chemicals” still common in water-repellent finishes. Rumpl scores well on recycled content and runs repair and recycling initiatives, but its standard DWR has typically been chemical-based.
Winner: Voited CloudTouch — by a nose, on the PFC-free coating.
Design & Style
This one’s down to taste. Rumpl is the more expressive brand — a huge catalogue of bold colourways, gradients, national-park prints and rotating artist collaborations, so you can find one that’s properly eye-catching. Voited leans into muted, earthy, outdoorsy tones that look at home in a van or on a Scandinavian-style sofa. Rumpl for personality; Voited for understated.
Winner: Personal preference — Rumpl for bold prints, Voited for muted tones.
Price & Value
Both sit firmly at the premium end of the camping-blanket market, in a similar price bracket — you’re paying for quality materials, durability and brand. Neither is cheap, and if budget is the priority you’ll find capable cheaper options in our main round-up. Between these two, value depends on what you’ll use it for rather than the sticker price: a packable everyday-and-travel blanket (Rumpl) versus a plush, convertible, cold-weather one (Voited).
The VOITED CloudTouch starts at £139, and you can take 15% off with code UFR15 at checkout. Rumpl pricing shifts with sales and season, so check the current figure before you buy:
The Verdict: Which Should You Buy?
There’s no single winner here — there’s a winner for you, and it comes down to how you’ll use it.
Buy the Rumpl Original Puffy if…
…you want a light, packable blanket you can take anywhere — backpacking, festivals, the touchline, the beach, stadium seats — and you love the idea of bold prints and artist designs. It’s the better travel companion and the easier one to carry, with three-season warmth that suits most people most of the time.
Buy the Voited CloudTouch if…
…you want the warmest, plushest, most luxurious blanket of the two, and you’ll make use of its convertible poncho-pillow-sleeping-bag tricks. It’s the one for cold-weather camps, van life and cosy evenings, and it’s the more eco-conscious choice on coatings. The trade-off is more weight and bulk.
Our take: if we could only own one and warmth and versatility mattered most, we’d take the Voited CloudTouch. If we were forever throwing it in a bag and heading off, the Rumpl Original Puffy would win. Still weighing it up? See how both compare with the rest of the field in our best camping blankets guide.
Rumpl vs Voited FAQ
The Voited CloudTouch is the warmer of the two. Its multi-layer construction and brushed sherpa-fleece lining trap more heat and feel cosy immediately, making it the better choice for cold-weather camping. The Rumpl Original Puffy offers solid three-season warmth from its synthetic puffy fill, but it’s deliberately lighter and slightly cooler in genuinely cold conditions.
For most people who want maximum warmth and a do-everything design, the Voited CloudTouch is the better single blanket thanks to its plush feel and poncho-pillow-sleeping-bag versatility. If you’ll be carrying it often — backpacking, festivals, travel — the lighter, more packable Rumpl Original Puffy is the smarter pick.
Neither is fully waterproof, but both have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that shrugs off light rain, dew and spills. Voited uses a more eco-friendly fluorine-free coating. For sitting on genuinely wet ground all day, a dedicated waterproof ground blanket like the YETI Lowlands is a better choice.
Yes — both the Rumpl Original Puffy and the VOITED CloudTouch are machine washable, which is one of the advantages of synthetic outdoor blankets over down. Always follow the care label: a cool, gentle cycle and a low or air dry will keep the DWR finish and insulation performing for longer.
The Rumpl Original Puffy packs down smaller and lighter. Its puffy synthetic fill compresses well, much like a puffy jacket, so it’s the better option for backpacking and travel. The Voited CloudTouch is plusher and warmer but bulkier and heavier, so it suits car camping and van life more than carrying any distance.
