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 outside is slick nylon. I really like this sleeping bag. It is better than $300 bags i have bought in the past for extreme camping.

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.

I really don't know. However, I did not like this blanket at all. It is very heavy and won't stay on the bed at night. It slides off on one side and ends up half on the floor. I couldnot return it because it was past 30 days when I tried to. Suggest you choose another blanket like I did. I,m just giving it away, got another from Peney,s that we love.

It's a fiber fill (like polyfil that goes into stuffed animals but better) and it mimics the abilities of the feathers. Some people may be allergic so the alternative is nice. I am not allergic but I love this blanket. It has been great to keep me warm enough without keeping my husband overheated. Great purchase, great price.

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

The "blanket" is fleece like. Not too hot, not too cold. The mat itself I guess is cotton. The pillow is synthetic cotton. It does the job for both sons at their daycare. Just be sure to take the pillow out when it's thrown in the wash. And speaking of wash, it is so easy to dump it with the rest of other laundry. Quite happy with it. It's a nap mat. Some People become disappointed because they were expecting something heavy duty for the outdoors. It's not a sleeping bag. This mat goes on top of my sons cots.

The thicker insulated side is a nylon and the top side has more like a brushed soft microfiber feel to it. I live in Florida and have not had a problem with the fabric sticking to me. This is a good lightweight warm weather bag.

I have never tested the blanket to see if it is waterproof but my best guess is no. I use this in my hammock to augment a wool blanket and / or sleeping bag depending on the air temp. It is basically an insulated nylon blanket that I liked so much I bought another one. BTW...this is not really big enough to serve as a bivy anyway...too small unless for a child.

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.

This "blanket" feels just like a tarp, hard and crinkly. But I will say this ... sitting outside with shorts on in 38 degree weather and a 10mph cold breeze, this all weather blanket kept my legs MUCH warmer than an actual heavy blanket did. It's because it reflects body heat and is water and windproof. After your plunge, put on a regular blanket then put the all weather blanket over it. Keeps heat in and all cold air out. Highly recommended!

I'm sure it is Alpaca. It is very warm which you will not get with acrylic. Acrylic is cold to the touch, if cold outside. This blanket is cosy. It would make sense that the binding is not 100 percent alpaca. The binding needs to be strong to prevent fraying

The Italian Army blankets are a very tight weave. These blankets are "field" blankets designed for abusive conditions in the "field" These aren't officers blankets. They will last a lifetime with proper care. We sell these as well (a little less priced!) both laundered fully so they arrive clean and fresh, and not laundered.

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 agree with the previous reply that the material is like Styrofoam. Its purpose is insulation - to keep contents warm. So far, it seems to hold up and not disintegrate.S.D.
