If you want to boycott Poland, buy this Bulgarian blanket instead! These don't have a strong smell and are wonderfully plain in color as well.
Before the time of sleeping bags, virtually all armies issued wool blankets to soldiers. Even today a wool blanket has its virtues: it's robust, easy to care, easy to throw on like a cape, and allows rapid deployment in case of an alarm. Of course, sleeping bags have a way better warmth-to-weight ratio than blankets, never forget.
Measures roughly 200 x 160 cm / 78.5" x 63", can vary a bit, weight about 1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs.
The latest batch we got is 100% Acrylic. It lets moisture through to keep you dry but provides some insulation even when wet. Although if you find yourself trying to sleep under a wet blanket, you probably did something wrong.
These seem unused or have seen bunk use at most - definitely never fielded in rough conditions. The only smell we could detect was a hint of naphthalene.
