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!!!

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

It is a large thin blanket. It is made out of a silky poncho like material. Thy are amazing and very warm and light weight. Love them and will buy more. A lot like my dads original army blanket he has at home

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.

Dave this is the response I received from Mambe. I was simply impressed to get an answer. Hope this helps in your decision making process.Thank you for your note. Specific temp ratings are tricky to assign due to the many factors involved when using a blanket outdoors. However, the Super Extreme is often used down into the teens or even lower with great results.

I bought this tent for my grand children to play in at Christmas time. It is a great size and really neat design. to answer your question, the floor of the tent is denier nylon. I do place a folded quilt on the floor bed to make it softer and cozier for them. Hope this helps.

It is goose down. I bought 2 of them and My daughter and I both agree incredibly warm. The only thing that was odd was the bottom part of the blanket you could see the feathers between in the blanket so waiting to see how durable it is. But for right now I would definitely buy a third if my son was living at home instead of at school.

It is one ply but very thick. It is very warm and feels so soft. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and then just now bought another for me after having seen hers. I love the color and it is so soft and warm. My seven year old grand daughter curls up in it and is asleep in no time. Love this blanket. I give it five stars.

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 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.

It is stiffer than cloth , like a sheet of plastic , but not as loud as the cheap Mylar emergency blankets . It is more of a tarp than a " blanket" . Still an excellent product . A bit small as a shelter . Buy two , sew them togeather . Everyone does . Windproof , waterproof , light and warm , but yes a little noisy .

I don't know the answer to that.i can tell you it is a warm visually soothing blanket,not meant for biting or wrestling with.my 7 year old granddaughter lays with it while watching her shows at night or morning.my 3 and a half month old niece gets all excited just touching the colors.it is pretty,it is cool but not something to use to walk around with as a blankie,unless they are old enough.

I didn't even notice this myself until it was pointed out to me in another posting, but the different colors/prints have different types of fabric. The Trekk is microfiber, some of the others are nylon. I wouldn't have even thought to look at that. Personally, I'd prefer the microfiber because I think the nylon would get hot and stay hot longer in the summer heat. So far, we've had some pretty hot weather and I've been able to just plop my son into the seat without worrying about the temperature. :-)

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.

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!

The blanket`s tag states ; machine Wash cold tumble dry low heat made in INDIA. That's all , no info on the wool content or anything else. I am disappointed with the way it was Advertised, DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING

No. I wouldn't call it insulated. The fabric is heavier than just a single sheet of canvas would be but it is not insulated.
