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!!!

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 .

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.

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.

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

The rip-stop nylon is slick. I believe you can get this same bag in a canvas option if you would prefer that. For me, the canvas bag was going to be too heavy...as the nylon bag is already 15lbs. We went camping this winter and this bag kept us warm and cozy well below 0 degrees. Other than the fact that it is MASSIVE and takes up a lot of space in the car, this winter bag is wonderful with a cuddle buddy.

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'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.

The emergency blanket is less of a blanket and more of a tarp. It is much stronger and more reliable than the cheap mylar emergency blankets. it is basically a green tarp with one side having reflective material. It is not crinkly and loud like the cheap emergency blankets. It may be nice to line the floor of the dog house to warm it up, but I do not think it would be as cozy as a normal cloth blanket for nestling down inside. Hope this is helpful!

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

It's not nylon. It's thinner and less elastic than fleece. It does have a fuzzy feeling to the outside that's relatively quiet. My knife hanging off the belt strap made more noise clunking on things than the pack did. B

The comforter is a thick summer comforter. However there are many different blankets. A blanket is subjective. You may be able to use it in the winter in some states but if you live in cold weather ie below 50 degrees than I say it's not a winter blanket. So I can't answer your question so easily. Some blankets are very thick and are rated for the cold winter some people tolerate cold and or heat at various levels. My suggestion is to purchase one and return it if it doesn't work out for you. I hope this helps but there are too many variables to your question.

Dave this is the response I received from Mambe. I was simply impressed to get an answer. Hope this helps in your decision making process.Thank you for your note. Specific temp ratings are tricky to assign due to the many factors involved when using a blanket outdoors. However, the Super Extreme is often used down into the teens or even lower with great results.

I am not sure but the person receiving this blanket as a gift, loves it. It is longer and thicker than an ordinary fleece throw and seems to be well worth the price.

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

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.

This blanket does not shed. I'm not sure what the difference in material is. This one is got some nap to the fur but not like the faux fur blankets out there. It's not that long nor does it shed. Thanks.
