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!!!

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.

I don't know what the material thickness of these Mylar blankets is and that information is of, at best, little importance. What you should understand is that these blankets were not designed to provide any real real insulation and warmth like an ordinary wool or synthetic material blanket would; they were only designed to stop the wind and to reflect body heat back towards the person using them.

Yes...and it does have lint! My husband loves it. I'm ambivalent. doesn't do much for me temperature wise that I thought it would do, but still a nice blanket.

I don't know, but the Woolrich Hudson blanket is warm and thicker than many other blankets.

I am unaware of the antimicrobial material. However, there is no chemical or any initial or permanent smell. In fact, I have used it on mission (military) and it does not get "funky." The blanket is large, warm and lightweight. And not smelly, which is an incredible plus.

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.

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!

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

I couldn't find a tag on the blanket, but it appears to be cotton. It's not real thick as wool would probably be, but it's not real thin either. You might ask the people who ship the item.

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.

Hello, The bed in the picture looks like there is a comforter underneath. When you get this you need to wash it and tumble dry it to fluff up the fuzzy part (Chenille is the french word for caterpiller). The base part is medium weight cotton, but when you add the weight of the fluffy part this is definately on the heavy side.

the outside is a fiber amalgumate very soft and holds heat very well. i would recommend this sleeping blanket for INDOOR USE ONLY! I would not recommend using this blanket on a camping trip. it will not keep out moisture and be very hard to dry out if it got even lightly damp. for indoor use it would be very durable, but for a camping trip it would tear under an adequate amount of stress. if you're going out door camping. i would recommed any of the super polyester acrylic combinations as they keep out water and are difficult to cut with a knife.

Not sure. I just looked and there seems to be an extra layer or two of fabric, but it's black and a similar weave to the outside. Usually insulated things like this are white.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

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.
