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 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.

Not really a blanket. It's very thin para nylon. You can roll the thing up and put it in your pocket. Nothing really penetrates the material, even sand! That's the great part.

The blanket has the markings of origin being an old mwswap NATO Europe conventional secondary distributal. I believe its a euonato French bucket bundlement. These can be made in northern Europe or Canada and then recontracted back out to Thailand Malaysia so on so forth. Its a legitimate second bundlements blanket, I like it for the price. Its not 100% wool, its 70% wool and polyester. Its pretty good deal for the price. I can not guarantee the quality of course as they are actual resurplus issue. That's something to keep in mind. I use these for my dogs, the beach, and the best true utility blanket. There really not that bad. The stink when you first get them. Just spray them with disinfectant aerosol and then tide/ freebreeze linen softener .

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

I believe it is nylon - easy drying material I gave the blanket away as a gift so I don't have it anymore.

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.

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

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!

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'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.

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.

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

It's a BDU coat. It is designed to be worn in warm weather and in cool or cold weather to be worn over other layers of clothing. It is not insulated. It's like a shirt made from heavy material.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I've had the flu. This blanket is made of 90 % Acrylic and 10 % Polyester Fibers. It was made in Mexico. Wash in cold water, I put it in our dryer on the lowest heat, air dry setting and it's fine. Here is a website that maybe helpful. www ramatexinternalional.com. It is very warm but does "shed" leaving some fuzzies on black clothing. This would work well on a twin bed. We use it over the back of our couch. It is too small for a full-size or larger bed. Hope this helps you out!!!!

I'm sorry I don't remember what the packaging said. I purchased it for my daughters dogs. It is the softest blanket imaginable.
