Arcturus Military Wool Blanket

Because this blanket is a blend of 80% wool and 20% hypoallergenic synthetic fibers, it is generally softer and less abrasive than 100% raw wool blankets. However, it still retains the tactile, rugged feel expected from a heavy-duty wool product.

Yes. One of the primary benefits of wool is its ability to retain heat even when damp. This makes it a reliable choice for emergency kits or outdoor use in unpredictable weather.

This blanket is machine washable, which is a significant advantage over many traditional wool blankets that require dry cleaning. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the fibers.

At 4.5 lbs and 550 GSM, this is a substantial, heavy-duty blanket designed for serious warmth. It provides excellent insulation for cold-weather camping, though your specific comfort level will depend on your sleeping pad and ambient temperatures.

Like most loom-woven wool products, you may notice some minor shedding or pilling during the initial uses. The hemmed edges and contrast lock stitching are designed to prevent fraying and ensure the blanket holds its shape through regular use.
