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!!!

It is goose down. I bought 2 of them and My daughter and I both agree incredibly warm. The only thing that was odd was the bottom part of the blanket you could see the feathers between in the blanket so waiting to see how durable it is. But for right now I would definitely buy a third if my son was living at home instead of at school.

It is just the thick plastic material. I put in a covered foam pad and folded blanket on the bottom for cushioning. My dog sleeps inside the house at night. This doghouse would be cold outside at night. Perhaps an igloo doghouse is insulated(?) I've never had that kind. I hope this helps.

The thicker insulated side is a nylon and the top side has more like a brushed soft microfiber feel to it. I live in Florida and have not had a problem with the fabric sticking to me. This is a good lightweight warm weather bag.

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 .

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

One side is soft felt, and the other is ballistic nylon. Put the felt side up. I also added another small soft blanket for additional coziness. :-)

The blanket has the markings of origin being an old mwswap NATO Europe conventional secondary distributal. I believe its a euonato French bucket bundlement. These can be made in northern Europe or Canada and then recontracted back out to Thailand Malaysia so on so forth. Its a legitimate second bundlements blanket, I like it for the price. Its not 100% wool, its 70% wool and polyester. Its pretty good deal for the price. I can not guarantee the quality of course as they are actual resurplus issue. That's something to keep in mind. I use these for my dogs, the beach, and the best true utility blanket. There really not that bad. The stink when you first get them. Just spray them with disinfectant aerosol and then tide/ freebreeze linen softener .

Hello, The bed in the picture looks like there is a comforter underneath. When you get this you need to wash it and tumble dry it to fluff up the fuzzy part (Chenille is the french word for caterpiller). The base part is medium weight cotton, but when you add the weight of the fluffy part this is definately on the heavy side.

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.

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.

I would describe the blanket as more cotton-like and warm. We also wash our blankets weekly because our dogs sleep with us and the blankets have developed little "nobbies" on them. I thought the blankets were going to be more brownish...they are definitely purple.

I'm sorry I don't remember what the packaging said. I purchased it for my daughters dogs. It is the softest blanket imaginable.

It is wrapped in polyurethane. It doesn't need to be insulated. You tube has videos on how to install it yourself!
