Bulgarian wool blanket, 200 x 160 cm, surplus


If you want to boycott Poland, buy this Bulgarian wool blanket instead! These don't have a strong smell and are wonderfully plain in colour 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 and fire retardant, 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 more better warmth-to-weight ratio than blankets, never forget.
Measures roughly 200 x 160 cm, can vary a bit, weight about 1,5 kg.
These blankets seem fully woollen or maybe with a small amount of 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.
Bulgarian surplus
These seem unused or at have seen bunk use at most - definitely never fielded in rough conditions. The only smell we could detect was a hint of naphtalene.

Word of warning though, be careful washing and drying these as a lot of loose material may come off during the first wash if you don't use the gentle/wool cycle on them.

Well, it is clearly a blanket... And it is grey... And it measures like stated.
I am not sure if that is entirely wool...
The blanked had some weird plastic bits in it and must have been stored in an fueltank for the last decades. Could power a Leopard 2 based on the smell and the fumes of this piece of fabric.
Its worth spending the extra ten bucks for an US blanket.
