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!!!

The comforter is a thick summer comforter. However there are many different blankets. A blanket is subjective. You may be able to use it in the winter in some states but if you live in cold weather ie below 50 degrees than I say it's not a winter blanket. So I can't answer your question so easily. Some blankets are very thick and are rated for the cold winter some people tolerate cold and or heat at various levels. My suggestion is to purchase one and return it if it doesn't work out for you. I hope this helps but there are too many variables to your question.

I am unaware of the antimicrobial material. However, there is no chemical or any initial or permanent smell. In fact, I have used it on mission (military) and it does not get "funky." The blanket is large, warm and lightweight. And not smelly, which is an incredible plus.

It is one ply but very thick. It is very warm and feels so soft. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and then just now bought another for me after having seen hers. I love the color and it is so soft and warm. My seven year old grand daughter curls up in it and is asleep in no time. Love this blanket. I give it five stars.

The inside material is soft like a flannel sheet. I do not believe it will snag. It is not like nylon which will snag. I like it.

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question.Pamela B. Coada

Not sure. I just looked and there seems to be an extra layer or two of fabric, but it's black and a similar weave to the outside. Usually insulated things like this are white.

Not really a blanket. It's very thin para nylon. You can roll the thing up and put it in your pocket. Nothing really penetrates the material, even sand! That's the great part.

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 controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

The rip-stop nylon is slick. I believe you can get this same bag in a canvas option if you would prefer that. For me, the canvas bag was going to be too heavy...as the nylon bag is already 15lbs. We went camping this winter and this bag kept us warm and cozy well below 0 degrees. Other than the fact that it is MASSIVE and takes up a lot of space in the car, this winter bag is wonderful with a cuddle buddy.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

It's a BDU coat. It is designed to be worn in warm weather and in cool or cold weather to be worn over other layers of clothing. It is not insulated. It's like a shirt made from heavy material.

These blankets go by many names but they are often refered to as "Casualty Blankets" ... They are similar, in weight, to a medium-thickness of poly-tarp and they have brass grommets (reinforced tie-holes) in each of the 4 corners. They are metalized (foil clad) on one side and reflect heat from a human body or from a camp-fire (onto a thermal "victim") ... These blankets are fairly durable and are frequently hung in diamond or lean-to configuration to shed rain (and dew) and to block wind and reflect camp-fire heat onto the single occupant, to thwart hypothermia at moderate temperatures. They are not magical and they do not do much good below about 55 degrees Fahrenheit and below 48'F they are "fairly useless" BUT they are better than nothing and, in conjunction with a small fire, they can save your life ... In short, they can add a few degrees of comfort and help, with very little pack-weight penalty ... They also make a good ground-cloth, especially under a sleep matt, to prevent thermal loss into the ground. They are reusable and, if cared for, they can be rolled up inside your sleep pad and will last for an entire season, of even longer. Rothco is only one source for these and most all of them are about the same. SOME are NOT "mil-spec" so I would be looking for USGI MIL-SPEC in the description.
