EKTOS 100% Wool Blanket, 90" x 66", Camping Wool Blanket, Military Surplus (Charcoal, Twin Size)

The categories above are not the best indicators of quality for this blanket. I bought it for its size, weight, and price. The size of this blanket is substantially larger to other throws and camping blankets. It fits a queen bed well. I also like the weight. It is a product of nature, rather than a manufactured featherweight pipedream. If you know you don't like wool products, this is not for you. If you are amenable to wool, this blanket is warm, comforting, and well made, at a fantastic price. The smell of the natural lanolin will subside with a few washings.

I specifically ordered this blanket for indoor use, not camping or bushcraft. At 5lbs it’s heavy and bulky for hiking into the woods with IMHO. The wool blanket arrives with a plastic zipper storage bag! A nice touch and makes storing it easy.How it feels: Texture is smooth but not “fluffy” soft like a Sherpa material would be. It’s very comfortable to sleep with even directly on the skin. Not scratchy of overly fuzzy.How it sleeps: Despite the weight it’s a relatively thin blanket. You don’t feel like your being crushed or smothered under it. It’s amazing to stay warm all night but not feel sticky from all of the sweating you do at night. The wool just wicks the moister away leaving you dry and comfy. I tend to sleep hot and to my surprise this keeps me more comfortable than anything else I’ve used blanket wise. I stay warm wile the blanket breaths.Many people are finding small stretchy plastic/rubber fibers in the blanket. I ask the manufacturer about it and was told this blanket is a mix of virgin and recycled wool. So apparently some elastic from old clothes got stuck in the wool. It’s still 100% wool though.All in all, this is a great blanket to have.

I literally just got this, so I'll update later as it gets use, but my immediate reaction is that this is totally worth the price. Preface: I'm a wool snob, I have been knitting for 20 years, almost always with merino, and I also spin my own merino into yarn.Out of the package, this wool camp blanket is hefty and, much to my surprise, oddly soft! I was fully expecting a very scratchy wool, which I was ok with because I plan on using this as an added insulation on top of my sleeping bag/comforter, but it's actually pretty danged soft. Not 17 micron merino soft, but absolutely soft compared to most regular wool. It has small amounts of veg matter in it, which is cool with me too, since it just means the wool wasn't mega processed. You can feel that it has a small amount of lanolin in it still as well. It is shedding a bit, again, I expected this, so I may toss it in the dryer on air dry to help remove some of the excess, but I have a dog, so it'll end up furry either way.Smell: It smells a little sheepy, no other scent, no yucky chemical smell like I've read most camp blankets have. This is the main reason I opted for this one over cheaper ones.Overall, I believe this will be a well loved, heavily used blanket for me. I am constantly cold and my kids are constantly hot, so I already own both a giant, thick down comforter and a smaller down throw for the living room. Throwing this on top of my throw increases the warmth factor dramatically. I cannot wait to use this while camping in the mountains!

Quality of this 100% version for $50 i paid, totally happy with, and i'm buying at least one more. Ya there's a slight smell when it comes out of the bag, but i've washed once with a bit of Woolite and cold water, hung over a railing and smell mostly gone after that and a couple of outdoors uses, i see no damage and it's definitely softer now. It's heavy, so not something i think is worth the weight for backpacking, personally. Completely happy with the blanket for what i do with it.My main uses for this blanket are to lounge outside in the cool weather, maybe around a fire, maybe even in a mist or light rain and great for that. Recently sat outside in the snow and sleet with jacket on, and this blanket draped over, single-layer, and its awesome for that. Moisture mostly bounced off and nothing got to me, and sparks from the fire got nowhere with this blanket. Also to just have an extra layer on top of quilt or blanket while camping (not backpacking), or double folded under me while sleeping outside.But i think some people think that a wool blanket is inherently warm, and in regular conditions, just not so. It helps but one layer isn't thick enough to keep out much of a chill, you'd have to fold it over once or more times to trap the heat, which is exactly what some people intend to do when sleeping out with it, and that's fine if that's their thing for that kind of traditional outdoors sleeping style. Me though, i can't stand being bound up in a sleeping bag or in a folded wool blanket, i tend to have blanket or quilt over me and tucked around, and this blanket just not going to be enough in near freezing temps without multiple layers folded over.
