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 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.

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.

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 sure it is Alpaca. It is very warm which you will not get with acrylic. Acrylic is cold to the touch, if cold outside. This blanket is cosy. It would make sense that the binding is not 100 percent alpaca. The binding needs to be strong to prevent fraying

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.

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.

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.

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 is a large thin blanket. It is made out of a silky poncho like material. Thy are amazing and very warm and light weight. Love them and will buy more. A lot like my dads original army blanket he has at home

They came wrapped in a plastic bag with a snap closure. I usually purchase the 4 packs so I can take one out and give it away to new mommies and then I'm still able to give other gifts instead of just blankets. Not sure what you're asking about as far as being different from classic types? Do you mean classic flannel receiving blankets? If so, these are much larger and better for swaddling. Also, as the name implies, these are made from muslin, a much lighter fabric.

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.

They mean double as in 2 (small) people. This item only has one layer of nylon. I am very happy with mine and would highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

I believe it is a blend. It is much nicer than the nylon cheaper versions. It is probably more polyester than cotton - but definitely has a cotton look and feel to it. It is something that looks good and adds to the decor of a playroom or kids room. I bought for my grandson and he loves is and I babysit for a little girl that has a Haba Tent as well - different theme - and she loves hers as well. Seeing hers is what made me feel confident in buying for my grandson.

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.
