What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

I was having the same problem. Probably means that it is some how folded onto itself. For safety, the blanket will shut off.

Well your probably wondering why I would describe as nice and soft, well it is, and this is why. When I first got it I wanted to make it a little fluffier and I have done this several times with all wool blankets I have gotten, besides some wool blankets like the Italian and pretty much all surplus ones will have an odor to it like moth balls,. So you want to freshen them up. Anyway what I do is wash them in a gentle cycle and add a fabric softener, you'll notice what seems to be a lot of fibers come loose and it will seem as if the blanket is falling apart, but it is not,, trust me! Anyway if there seems to be an odor still,, wash it again,( this blanket does not have an odor) and you'll notice there will be a lot less fiber in the washer this time. From there put it dryer but at a setting of less dry and throw in one of those fabric softener towelets and dry about 80% to 90% and then let dry at room temperature, it will be ready to use that night with no distortion of material at all! Oh one more thing check your lint collector frequently about every 10 to 15 minutes till there seems to be no more fiber coming loose, this is what I used as a gauge when to take out of dryer,, it came out perfect! Enjoy P.S. it weights about 3.5 lbs. when said and done.

It's a "fleece" - or what is often called "sherpa lining" in some garments. Made of acrylic, not real animal wool. It vaccums up nicely, but will definitely be discolored after some time. We lay a small thin airline blanket over top to save on having to wash the cover as often.

It is a blanket. It heats good but the binding on the blanket was shoddily put on and has torn more. We needed it at the time we got it, otherwise we would have returned it. VERY poor workmanship.

To be honest, I don't know. I do know that it keeps me very warm. I live in the north and it has been a bitter cold winter, but I am as they say snug as a bug in a rug in this blanket. Very soft and comforting. I would highly recommend this blanket.

I have the Soft-heat microfleece so cannot describe the difference but have been happy with my purchase; this is the 3rd winter using it. It is very lightweight and soft and heats quickly. I do sandwich it between another blanket and a comforter for strength so that we don't pull on it--I suspect this one might be more tear-resistant. Some have complained the wires of the one I have are in a tissue-like layer so I have been careful to not pull on it by itself. When I saw this ribbed one I wondered if this was the manufacturer's answer to that problem--with stronger exterior fabric to support the wires? Not sure but I can say I am happy so far with the Soft heat micro-fleece.

No. I wouldn't call it insulated. The fabric is heavier than just a single sheet of canvas would be but it is not insulated.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

I bought this tent for my grand children to play in at Christmas time. It is a great size and really neat design. to answer your question, the floor of the tent is denier nylon. I do place a folded quilt on the floor bed to make it softer and cozier for them. Hope this helps.

It's is more of a soft microfiber material. It's isn't microfiber, but that is the best way to describe it. I am sure if you drug it through burs you would pick some up, but it's not like fleece where anything and everything sticks to it

It's a fiber fill (like polyfil that goes into stuffed animals but better) and it mimics the abilities of the feathers. Some people may be allergic so the alternative is nice. I am not allergic but I love this blanket. It has been great to keep me warm enough without keeping my husband overheated. Great purchase, great price.

the outside is a fiber amalgumate very soft and holds heat very well. i would recommend this sleeping blanket for INDOOR USE ONLY! I would not recommend using this blanket on a camping trip. it will not keep out moisture and be very hard to dry out if it got even lightly damp. for indoor use it would be very durable, but for a camping trip it would tear under an adequate amount of stress. if you're going out door camping. i would recommed any of the super polyester acrylic combinations as they keep out water and are difficult to cut with a knife.

The blanket does not get hot!!! only warm I was a little disappointed in that fact myself on those really cold nights..But its better than a cold bed..I have had blankets in the past that have gotten warmer.

I recommend these blankets but since you live in hot weather you should look into their organic Bamboo line of blankets. I just bought three of them and they are super soft and the fabric is much more breathable than the original, which made it ideal for the warm weather that we had a month ago.

I couldn't find a tag on the blanket, but it appears to be cotton. It's not real thick as wool would probably be, but it's not real thin either. You might ask the people who ship the item.
