is it breathable and what is the temp. range for this blanket?

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

not really breathable because their waterproof. I take them off when it gets in the 20's so they don't get too warm. these are easy to put on and stay on really good. kept the horses warm and dry and we've been down to -15, had freezing rain and lots of snow. I'm very glad I got em. hope this helps. Michelle

I don't know about temp. rating. I guess you could use it as a sleeping bag but it would be open on 3 sides. I bought it to wrap up in at granddaughters lacrosse games. However during this winter I have been using it on my bed - fleece side down- and find I like it much better than my electric blanket. I'm afraid I haven't helped much with your questions.

I use it in an air conditioned home so it's hard to say but I don't think it's too warm. My son has never felt hot while in it and that is using it with full pjs.

I bought this blanket few months ago, it works good for me, it's only have 1 setting, it doesn't get really hot, but that's what I need to cover from my waist down to my leg, because I have hot flushes, so I don't need to cover the whole body. Other people said there is odor come from the blanket, mine doesn't have any smell. I got the red plaid one. So far I'm happy with it

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

Sorry for taking so long to answer this, but I really don't know. I don't know of any blanket that will keep you warm in 15 degrees, but this will do nicely for temperatures a bit warmer than that - 35 degrees?

i hate silk, so thats why i like these blankets. i guess the best comparison might be jersey cotton like. i also hate larger comforters that are too hot. id say its ideal for temperatures between 65-80 Fahrenheit.

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.

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

It's pretty warm although we use it with another thin blanket. Kept us warm here in Virginia during the polar vortex ;)

It has a wide range for keep warm (all below 200 degrees). It goes a little past the 400 degree range, so I would guess 425 degrees. I love it.

The sleeping blanket is washable. I do not place it in the dryer on high heat. I will dry it on low heat or dry it outdoors.

I was wondering if it was breathable bc I was looking to put it over my waterproof mattress. We sweat with only the waterproof one so I was looking for a cotton breathable barrier. I realize this is not an answer to her question but I wondered if the person who mentioned they used it over their vinyl one had any comments.

It is not breathable and yes it holds your body heat. I am thinking of returning it? It does NOT disperse your body heat.

I think it breathes well enough. I'm comfortable with just this and a sheet and we keep our house between 70-74 degrees F.

NO....I am guessing it is not comfortable at minus 30 degrees. it is comfortable to high teens Fahrenheit when accompanied by light wool or flannel blanket directly against your body as insulation AND comforter or wool blanket over the top of the bag. It is a seriously comfortable, well constructed bag. Excellent value. I HIGHLY recommend it! Soon will be entering the third year of use.....estimating 300 nights of use altogether - still like brand new, fresh as a daisy. One thing to note...it is heavy in weight - you will not want to move it around much. In winter mine lives in the back of my SUV.ALL THE BEST!

Yes it is breathable and protective. I use it on my convertible both outside and in the garage
