The RoadPro 58" travel blanket is a nice luxury riding in cold climates. The blanket is very soft and quite warm even when it is not plugged in. Once the blanket is turned on it provides a nice warmth throughout -without any noticeable hot spots. In general the blanket can provide warmth without feeling too "hot".
Areas that we enjoy-
- Soft fabric - not at all scratchy.
- Relatively large
- Works great!
- Not too expensive
- Easily plugs into your car's outlet
- Takes about 5 minutes to achieve maximum warmth.
Areas for improvement
- While the blue fabric is a slip-cover it can not be removed. It would be great if it could be machine washed since the blanket will often exposed to snow/slush/salt from the your shoes.
- One temperature - the heating elements are not adjustable
- If you leave the travel blanket plugged in when the engine is off IT WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY! Be very careful, especially since car batteries are already less efficient in cold weather.
- No plug in for home use - the travel blanket can only be plugged into a 12V DC plug. There are ways that you can get around this but they do not come standard with the travel blanket.
Looking at the review it appears that there are many more negatives than positives, however the negatives are relatively minor. The final verdict is that it is soft and works very well to help keep you warm.

Customer 2
I got one of these for Christmas from my sister. I came back to buy 2 more. They are a real asset in the cold Minnesota winters. I have used it for long trips and shorter trips and have had several people use it when we went out as a group. It is so nice. I would love it to have multiple settings for the heat but it is just toasty warm and that is fine. After getting in an ice cold vehicle this heats up quickly and takes the chill off. I used it when I had a terrible cold and it really helped keep me warm during the trip.
