My husband ordered this color and I tried to cancel and order the gray one. Couldn't do it in time and when I received both the brown and the gray I decided to keep them both as they are Great. Made very well and light enough that I know they will be comfortable for the upcoming cold weather. And they will last for many generations. They actually look like cashmere. Well worth the purchase.
I ordered one of these blankets to actually use for the lining of a garment Im making but the quality was so nice I ended up ordering another one. The wool is dense so its thin but heavy. The stitching is very neat as well and it is warm and not too scratchy. Its very soft for wool and doesn't have any weird smells
No odor whatsoever upon arrival. If you bury your nose in the blanket and REALLY REALLY sniff hard, you might catch a tiny bit of normal "wool scent." Every wool blanket I have ever encounterd has the same scent. No biggie. It is genuine wool and smells no different than a wool sweater. No massive shedding, either. Maybe I got lucky and got a "good one," but I doubt that. I really question the hysterical one-star ratings for this blanket, which almost caused me to not purchase it. They are doing Arcturus a big disservice with the ridiculous hysteria. (I am not affiliated with Arcturus, I am just a normal customer.) If one has a wool allergy of course this will not be a good buy for you, but your allergy or over-sensitive nose is not a reason to give a one-star rating. The blanket is medium heavy (4.5 pounds advertised) and very warm. It feels hefty and and comforting without pinning you down with sheer weight. Normal and typical "wool scratchy," which is not scratchy but rough compared to fabrics like cotton. Again, not abnormal. The edges are bound with quality stitching. I like this blanket so much I that have recommended it to family members, and the $45 price makes this a great value. This blanket is going to live in the back seat of my pickup as a passenger comfort blanket / survival blanket.
Achetez cette couverture ! Je l'utilise pour me couvrir lors des nuits fraîches et elle est parfaite ! Lourde, isolante et me permet de dormir sans soucis dans une chambre où la température est à 18°c.Aller ! Deux bémoles anecdotiques :L'odeur, 80% de laine donc il faut l'aérer durant les 15 premiers jours pour que l'odeur diminue.Moins douce qu'un plaid mais elle fait le job.Pour m'a part j'en ai acheté deux. Une pour moi et une pour ma femme.
Fantastisk. Skulle ha den till skogen men den blir nog kvar på soffan. Drar bara av en stjärna eftersom jag beställde en röd men fick en svart. Har inte brytt mig om att byta då den är fin ändå.
This Arcturus Military Wool Blanket is incredibly warm and well-made. The thickness and quality are exactly what you'd expect from a military-style wool blanket. It's perfect for cold nights camping or as an extra layer at home during winter. The warmth-to-weight ratio is excellent.The blanket is indeed washable, but be mindful of how to wash wool properly. I learned this the hard way—there was a lot of shedding after my first wash. Use cold water, gentle cycle, and wool-safe detergent. Don't use hot water or regular detergent like you would with cotton. Follow proper wool care instructions and you'll be fine.Despite the shedding issue from my washing mistake, the blanket is still in great shape and performs beautifully. The material is durable and has that classic wool feel. It's substantial without being excessively heavy.This is a legitimate cold-weather blanket that actually keeps you warm. Whether for camping, emergency preparedness, or just staying cozy, it delivers. Just respect the wool and wash it correctly!Very warm, very durable, very satisfied. Highly recommend!
muy buena calidad en los materiales, y calida para su uso en general, ahora si me hace el frio? jeje
Muito bom, específico para ambientes externos como camping.
I got this as a car blanket, but it failed me. It's just too darn nice and such a big useful size I can't just put it in my car! It's in my house where it belongs, but now I need to find a smaller car blanket dangit!Seriously though, this is a really nice blanket. Nice and heavy and super warm, but not super huge. Totally amazed me at this price too.If it were a foot wider it'd make a Perfect mid-layer bed blanket. I still use it as that sometimes, just put it in the middle where we tend to cuddle on cold nights. It's super long, is really best for a one person blanket in the cold.
This blanket is a perfect size to use around the house, in the car, camping, wherever. It's big enough for one person to wrap up completely or two people to share over top. It has a good feel, nice and soft and heavy. When I first opened the package it did have a very strong diesel-like aroma. I know that's just the strong smell of lanolin and how my nose interprets it, but it is pretty powerful. After a gentle wash, the smell was mostly gone and it now just smells like a wool blanket. The color is a rich burnt orange that I love (less bright/vibrant than the pictures in the listing). This is not a $500 artisanal wool blanket but for the price you're getting a great wool blanket for a good value. I've seen some "wool" blankets in stores that are 90+ percent synthetic with some tiny fraction of wool for the same price or even more. This is the way to go. I'm ordering another one in a different color based on my experience so far. By the time I'm done I'll probably have one for everyone in the family.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent All-Weather Wool Blanket!I’ve been using the Arcturus Military Wool Blanket for a few weeks now, and it’s impressive. The blanket is thick, warm, and surprisingly soft for a military-style wool. Perfect for camping, concerts, stadium events, or just keeping in the car for emergencies. It retains heat well, even on chilly nights, and the size is generous enough to share. I also love that it’s machine washable, which makes cleanup easy after outdoor adventures. The rugged design makes it feel durable, and it’s clearly made to last. I will update if anything changes I have not washed it yet.
This is a really nice blanket with a softer wool. The weight is beautiful and it is washable. It would be great for camping. However for stadiums or sitting around a fire, it is just too large. It also does shed small fibers on any fabric it touches.
Spodziewałem się wysokiej jakości koca, a tutaj kiepsko to wygląda. Materiał wydaje się sztuczny. Miałem już koce z wełny wojskowej (wojsko holenderskie) i był to zupełnie inny materiał.

THE BEST GOT BETTER
How to Maximize the Life of Your Wool Blanket:
Don’t forget about plaid!
We're Arcturus, an outdoor company from Washington State. We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that's why we developed our line of wool blankets. Whether we're skiing Mt. Hood, crabbing off the Alaskan shoreline, or just hanging by the campfire, we grab these wool blankets for warm and refined snuggling.
Weighing over 4 lbs, our wool blankets are designed for years of use. These blankets are loom-woven to ensure even texture and thickness. A solid lock-stitch prevents the edges from fraying and they're machine-washable, which means you don't have to worry about getting it dirty.
And hey - what's better than a warm blanket? A warm blanket that didn't eat your wallet for lunch. Hope you enjoy it. We do.
Grab a friend or two and get cozy. At over 5 feet by 7 feet, the Arcturus Essential Wool Blanket is just the right size to have with you without being too bulky and cumbersome. It's the sweet spot in size. When folded, these blankets measure about 16" x 11" x 4".
Wool has an incredible property of being able to keep you warm, even when it's wet. We bring this blanket with us wherever we go: ski trips, hunting, camping and even backyard BBQs. It's at home wherever you are.
Keep cozy whenever your adventures take you, even if that's just in front of your fireplace.
Throw one in your trunk for emergencies or throw one on the end of your bed for those extra cold nights. These wool blankets are just at home indoors as they are outdoors.
Thanks to input from thousands of customers, we’ve made dramatic improvements to this blanket in order to provide more warmth and value. Unlike cheaper blankets, Arcturus wool blankets are triple-washed during production, making them softer, more hygienic, and less susceptible to shedding.
"This is simply amazing! I have many military surplus wool blankets and this while not quite as thick is wonderfully made and the construction is second to none. It's an amazing bargain considering the amount of a comparable Pendleton product. So thrilled will this blanket. I will be buying more for family & friends, plus another for my car!"
"I ordered this blanket, after much research, to keep in my car, take camping, and general use, as needed. It arrived super fast, and is comfy, keeping me warm in a 60-ish degree basement with a fan running. There is no harsh odor, it looks great, and is plenty big!"
"You can feel the quality when opening the package. The comfort of the weight and the durability is obvious. Happy with my purchase."
Every Arcturus wool blanket is triple-washed during production so you can use it right out of the box. However, at some point you'll probably want to wash it.
We recommend using a detergent formulated specifically for wool for best results. Like all loom-woven blankets, this blanket will shed during the first few washes.
To maximize the life of your blanket (and to avoid unnecessary shedding), we recommend washing your blanket by hand in cold water.
You may also machine wash your blanket separately in cold water on a delicate cycle using a front load washer. Avoid top loaders with a center agitator as they can cause damage and will increase shedding.
To extend the life of your blanket, we recommend line drying only. Dryers are hard on clothes and blankets alike, and line drying is much gentler.
Follow these instructions and you'll enjoy a lifetime of use from your new Arcturus blanket!
Add a touch of timeless style and rugged comfort to your adventures with the Arcturus Plaid wool blanket. Classic never goes out of season.
