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!!!

I actually don't know. You might be able to go to the web site and find out. It's not cotton and my guess would be nylon.

Hi, This is a tarp with a reflective coating on one side. I don't know how the coating is applied, or if it is a layered sheet adhered to tarp. It is a multiple use blanket, and I just used one camping last Fri., and it it worked well and took off the chill in the early morning. I bought several and I am going to add some more grommets to a couple of them. I also used one Sat morning about pre dawn to get some extra sleep in the car, blocked out the sunrise and retained the body heat. Temps were in the mid 50's and they worked very well.

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.

My 13 yr. old daughter runs hot at night with her fan on high but still used this blanket over her. So in not sure how to answer that. It seems like it would be similar to a soft double layer microfiber smooth cover.

No. It isn't a blanket type. It is a duvet covet much like sheet material. I haven't seen a matching blanket anywhere. And I plan to buy extras so I will always have one. I love Ikea.

The Italian Army blankets are a very tight weave. These blankets are "field" blankets designed for abusive conditions in the "field" These aren't officers blankets. They will last a lifetime with proper care. We sell these as well (a little less priced!) both laundered fully so they arrive clean and fresh, and not laundered.

Mine came with the nylon version which I think is much better, Plastic does not handle cold very well,Also I can repair the nylon if need be.

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.

Bought this around Christmas, I'm not sure of the specifics of the material. It is very soft material, fluffy on one side. It feel just like the blanket that I purchased for $50+ at Restoration Hardware. My dogs love it!

It would appear to be there is no difference. Both look like the one I own. The blanket is of the best grade and quality I have ever seen, well worth the cost. It is 100% Wool, and 100% Quality. Will Keep you warm better than any blanket you own. Thanks.

Insta-snow is a fine granular polymer. It is similar to what they use in disposable diapers. The instruction pamphlet explains what to do and not to do with it.

REI has the same blanket. Their website says 5X7 feet. From my observation in actual use, that sounds right. Remember that there is no fleece on this thing, despite the picture.

Waged one once became a dog blanket after that. I wait till drycleanerhas special I would get a fleecy blanket for kids. These blankets are not cheap nor cheap to upkeep. D

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.

Sorry the the lack of specifics. I don't exactly know what it is, but it feels like a vinyl like type of coating. The textile material itself, that is coated, is most likely nylon.
