Sherpa Fleece Cycling Blanket for Recovery - Triathlon Thermal Throw "Older Faster" Edition

Choose the 50" × 60" size for individual use during sprints or Olympics, or the larger 60" × 80" if you want to share or need more coverage for post-race recovery. The blanket has about ±3" variance in construction, so measure your storage space accordingly. It compacts well for race bags or bikes.

Absolutely! The Sherpa Fleece Cycling Blanket is perfect for beginners. Its affordability and simplicity make it an easy entry into triathlon recovery gear. Just drape it on after your swim for quick warmth during transitions—much easier than bulky changing tents for your first races.

Pack it rolled up in your transition bag for quick deployment after the swim. For sprint or Olympic events, use it behind your bike or gear to create a private changing area and stay warm. Fold or roll it damp after use—it'll dry quickly for the long-term storage if needed. Always check race rules for allowable personal items in transition zones.

Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle—no bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry to preserve the plush feel. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods while drying. With proper care, your blanket will stay soft and cozy for many seasons of triathlon training and racing.

It's great for shorter distances like Olympic or sprint where it's dry and cool. For full IRONMANs, consider weatherproof options if conditions are harsher. The blanket is IRONMAN-friendly but doesn't carry official approval—always verify with race officials as rules vary for warmth items in transition areas.
