Reviewed by 9730686 from BC, Canada on Monday, December 19, 2011I bought this blanket as an emergency preparedness item for my car and home kit. You can't beat wool for year-round protection. It is a good size, is heavy/thick and my daughter loves hers for warmth in front of the TV. Great purchase.

Reviewed by Janie from Pueblo, CO on Friday, December 16, 2011I bought this blanket knowing full well the smell was a mixed commentary. I wanted to re-figure it a bit. It looks exactly like I wanted but can't get past the smell. Have tried everything but the actual dry clean-The value it was would have totally gone up in smoke but may have to suck it up and do it. Has no value as it sits. Had such a good plan for it's use but at a stand still now.
- Cons: Smell

- Pros: Looks like I wanted

Reviewed by rc from texas on Thursday, December 15, 2011looks so very cheap compared to some other army style blankets, we'll see how it holds up. is more like a moving blanket with a gingerly stitched edge than an actual piece of utilitarian bedding.
- Best Uses: Spring/Fall
- Cons: Poor Quality, Uncomfortable

Reviewed by LiftyChick from Kimberley, BC, Canada on Wednesday, December 14, 2011I was a little skeptical from other reviews that these blankets would have a strong mothball odor and would have to air them out before use, but upon receiving my 2 i was very pleased that they had only the usual smell of pure wool. Definitely a great quality for the price. Its an army blanket and functions as expected, not soft or plushy but toasty regardless. I use one as a couch throw and the other is going into my truck for emergency use. I may yet purchase a couple more for camping use :)
