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!!!

There is cotton and polyester in the blanket. My daughter is the one that bought it and I have since washed t for her and it goes very well in the washer and dryer. She loves it!

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.

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

No. It isn't a blanket type. It is a duvet covet much like sheet material. I haven't seen a matching blanket anywhere. And I plan to buy extras so I will always have one. I love Ikea.

The inside material is soft like a flannel sheet. I do not believe it will snag. It is not like nylon which will snag. I like it.

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.

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. :-)

I actually don't know. You might be able to go to the web site and find out. It's not cotton and my guess would be nylon.

This blanket is fiber reinforced mylar. With a little care it can be reused. I stapled 2 blankets together into a large "pocket" and have used it for a weather proof sleeping bag cover that has lasted for several years........Paul

Bought this around Christmas, I'm not sure of the specifics of the material. It is very soft material, fluffy on one side. It feel just like the blanket that I purchased for $50+ at Restoration Hardware. My dogs love it!

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.

I was having the same problem. Probably means that it is some how folded onto itself. For safety, the blanket will shut off.

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!

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question. Pamela B. Coada

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 .

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.
