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 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.

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 a medium thickness fleecy soft blanket. I use it coupled with other blankets during the winter, but by itself during spring and summer. So as long its not super hot I think it would be fine.

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.

This "blanket" feels just like a tarp, hard and crinkly. But I will say this ... sitting outside with shorts on in 38 degree weather and a 10mph cold breeze, this all weather blanket kept my legs MUCH warmer than an actual heavy blanket did. It's because it reflects body heat and is water and windproof. After your plunge, put on a regular blanket then put the all weather blanket over it. Keeps heat in and all cold air out. Highly recommended!

I really don't know. However, I did not like this blanket at all. It is very heavy and won't stay on the bed at night. It slides off on one side and ends up half on the floor. I couldnot return it because it was past 30 days when I tried to. Suggest you choose another blanket like I did. I,m just giving it away, got another from Peney,s that we love.

It's a winter weight blanket. Since it's wool it's heavier than the cotton or microfiber ones by far. I had a Hudson Bay as a child and bought this one because I missed having a nice winter blanket.

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.

I haven't a clue and don't have the packaging anymore. It is a great blanket that has 20 settings. Setting 20 runs me out of the bed. I'm cold blooded and have the blanket at about 14 on cold nights. Hope this helps.

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 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.

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.

The exterior is made of nylon type of canvas material. It is a very close weave resulting in a relative smooth textured fabric.It's major feature is the removable internal hard plastic liner that catches the inevitable spill. The inner liner can be removed washed and returned.I highly recommend it. The removable plastic liner was the key factor in choosing this cooler.
