Olive Drab Green Warm Fire Retardant Blanket, 66" x 90" (8...

Content: Quality, heavy, durable, warm, simple blanket, at a great price. Larger dimensions cover queen size bed, and your feet on the couch. Adds a good layer on the bed in a cold bedroom, or at this price a camp or emergency blanket for the trunk of the car. It had a bit of a smell, it smells like a wool blanket - and reminds me of my grandparents house. I washed this in cold water with minimal soap - casual/ gentle cycle, two rinses, with fabric softner. I dried it on low heat just long enough that it was dry not damp, cleaning the lint trap once or twice during the cycle. I also threw in a couple of dryer sheets. No problems with lint afterwards. It's a good, tough blanket - but don't over do it. Wash and dry it gently (not too often) and let it age. I have bought four of them, using two and storing two for future use because I thought they were a great value.

Content: Alright, here are the essential answers I was hoping for when I was looking for outdoor bedding. My needs were for extended weekend camping with my car near by...I would call it Base Camp needs. Weight is heavy and not what I would want for trekking.The blanket was the largest I could find at a reasonable price. When you open the sealed plastic packaging the retardant smell is subtle but after an hour will fill the room and is annoying. That smell reminds me of musty wool however the blanket is NOT wet, dirty or otherwise anything but brand new. Like another reviewer I washed the blanket twice on cold, gentle cycle. Taking the blanket outside I shook out the "pilling" between washes and then again after the 2nd wash. The dryer was never used as I simply hung the blanket over a radiator when finished. By adding fabric softener the smell was 99% gone and my wife (who is not particularly sensitive) didn't find it offensive. After the blanket dried overnight the finished dimensions were 65-1/4" x 91-1/4". The final weight on a kitchen scale is 3lb 5.3oz. In other words it held its sizing and weight just fine. The blanket is bound on all 4 sides with what appears to be heavy stitching. I see no need spending time at a sewing machine to strengthen these seams. In addition, the wool takes on less water than you might expect. Removing the blanket after the spin cycle I felt mild dampness but nothing like a shirt or jeans coming out...this was a pleasant surprise and indicates high wool content. Some folks have asked what the remaining 20% of the content is and my understanding it's a mix of recycled wool content (think shop floor if you really get down to it) and man made material for strength. It's clearly a heavy duty blanket. To say it's warm is an understatement. We use it as a thermal break under our sleeping bags with 2 of us in our Kelty 3 person 4-Season and it covers the floor entirely. If I were camping solo there would be no problem, at all, with using this under me and folded over for a cover. I'm M-L overall and that feature was important to me. My opinion is using it in this manner would allow a sleeper an extra 10-15 degrees of lower temps vs. going with a sleeping bag alone. By adding a Mylar blanket, this wool blanket and a bag rated to zero virtually anyone would be comfortable to 10 degrees or slightly lower (no telling exactly without considering wind and shadow). Final thought, now that I've handled the product I'll purchase 2 more (one for each car). Although the blanket looks good and feels soft it's still a military appearance (which might be cool for your needs) and that might not fly in the guest bdrm. EDIT: Update to 10-21-16. I ended up ordering and receiving 2 more of these. One for the camper and the other for the car trunk. In the Ohio River Valley the wind can build quickly and weather is notorious for changing without warning. More like a mountain environment than the pleasant sounding "Valley" would have you believe. Like my earlier comments suggested, the blanket is virtually bulletproof. I had to change 2 of our Honda 4-Wheeler tires out and the ground was soggy/muddy with temp in the 40's and a wet wind. By folding over and laying on the ground I could kneel in relative comfort to get the job done. More importantly, using some Woolite Cleaner with a mild scrub brush the darn blanket came 100% clean despite being ground into the soil. I'd guess there was some grease involved as well but regardless it all came out with hardly any effort. It is true that the other 2 blankets needed the same "prep" as the first. A double washing, a thorough shake thru outside and then a couple hours over the radiator. Also, the smell varies with each blanket received...the 2nd of these was considerable stronger than the 1st. Maybe it depends on the storage conditions. Either way, the blanket is still bound on all 4 sides, still tough as nails and generous (to say the least) with sizing. I didn't bother to measure but the amount it shrank through the Washer is negligible. Definitely a cold-weather god send IMHO. Pair it up with a Mylar blanket and it's the perfect base cloth inside the tent. Having camped in the same conditions year after year (after year...) and knowing the expected temperature range at night I did just as I've suggested. No doubt in my mind the comfort zone was extended another 10-15 degrees colder versus just a sleeping pad. Best to you...!

Content: This is a good blanket and very good quality for the money, keeps you warm, but it smells. The instructions for washing is inadequate. I did not know that 1- you have to use a special wood soap, 2- didn't know the top-load washers are not very good to wash wool. 3- did not know that they shed. 4- I did not know line drying is more suitable than tumble drying. it takes a couple of washes to get rid of the odor otherwise it is a very good quality and keeps you warm.

Content: I read reviews that say the blanket shed lots of lint when they washed it. I washed mine in Woolite, delicate cycle, cool water, and a double rinse, then dried on low and I didn't experience a lot of lint shedding. No more than I would expect anyway. It came out soft and lovely. After washing there is a chemical smell (maybe from the dye?), however it doesn't bother me and I can only smell it with my nose directly on it. The picture is after I washed it. It's prefect for me in winter because I get too hot under comforters and wool blankets breath. I'm happy with my purchase.

Content: This is the ultimate blanket in terms of quality, durability and WARMTH !! It is definitely NOT a dainty, soft, fragile, thin blanket. It is perfect for using outdoors, throwing into the vehicle for emergencies, use it, abuse it and don’t worry about it. It may not be pretty but it will keep you warm and get the job done.

Content: $25 for an 80% wool blanket at this size is dirt cheap. This blanket is about 1/3 the price of an 80% Merino wool blanket (much nicer for bedding) and 1/2 the price of a name brand 80% wool blanket (great for camping). I would never use this for bedding or daily life, but it's perfect for an emergency blanket. It's fairly thin, smells like chemicals, and sheds a lot (even for a wool blanket). I'm not disappointed, you get what you pay for. To wash it, you should use a front-loading washer if possible. Top-loading washers may damage the blanket, but that's what I used anyway. I just put it on delicate. Make sure to use a wool detergent such as Outback Gold, etc. Shake out any clumps of wool after washing. Then, you're supposed to air-dry wool blankets, but I put it in the dryer on delicate (low) heat. Toss in a few dryer sheets to mask the chemical smell and make sure to only dry it in 20 to 30 min intervals as your lint trap will fill up quickly. Repeat the 20 minute drying cycles until the lint thins out and the blanket is dry.

Content: I bought this a day before the temp plummeted to 12 degrees with a wind chill below zero. The first night it was on the bed, my wife who is always freezing, woke up warm and complaint free. It is not super heavy and is not overly scratchy as some wool products can be. I did not wash it and the smell some have commented about was very minor and not a problem. I read several articles about the care of wool blankets and all stated not to wash and dry wool blankets unless absolutely necessary. The size is slightly smaller than I would have liked, more twin sized, but it covered the top of my queen bed and did well under a bed spread. I could have bought a larger version for more $, but for something used under extreme conditions, this was perfect. For the money, you could not find a better, warmer, real wool blanket.

Content: Great for the car, boat, cottage I personnally use it on my bed during cold season as it is both warm and has that heavy feeling some of us like However too heavy and bulky for trekking on foot Does wath it is suspposed to, but definitely not a backbpack option The price is unbeatable
