We've got these warm, soft, and really big blankets that are just dying for a hug and someone to hug underneath one. And they’re even brand spanking new.
Usually the colors of military blankets are a dreary whiff from the '70s East-Brutopia. These blankets by Mountainhill are something completely different. If you thought that their tartan patterns were a bit too restless, how about these calming one-color options?
These are not super-duper mega thick but not thin either, and the material is very dense. Perfect for couch potatoing even in a chilling haunted mansion and for cool weather camping. However, it might get a tad cold on an arctic expedition. If you don’t need a blanket, buy one anyway and make yourself something nice instead.
Material and info
The material is 80% wool and 20% recycled polyester. The excellent properties of wool get to shine and care isn't any different from a fully woolen one: air every now and then, wash seldom if ever. If needed, dry cleaning is ideal. If you want to wash these, do it in cold water and hang them to dry.
- Length and width: approx. 225 x 150 cm (89" x 59"), So, these are big. The size can vary a bit from blanket to blanket because apparently in the blanket business size isn’t everything.
- Weight: c. 2.2 - 2.4 kg (4.9 - 5.3 lbs) so these aren’t the magical elf cloaks for ultralight hikers but the good ol’ stuff from the time when people could still carry things.
- The white blankets with NAVY prints weigh c. 1.8 kg / 4 lbs and measures 220 x 150 cm / 86" x 59".
New production
Made by Mountainhill. These are all factory new, made in India. The price isn't bad for such a nice blanket.

This blanket does not have a label, nor are the sides sewn but just cut rough with course scissors.
The fabric feels cheap and synthetic, not wooly at all. If you want a giant doormat this will do nicely.
Very disappointing to get this from Varusteleka sold as a new Mountainhill wool blanket.

Mine had a label, stitched edges and rounded corners (unlike Martin Z's one).

Edit: Yeah, wash as per instructions! It is wool after-all.

Cons: Smells like a diesel spill (my guess is it's the flame retardant it was soaked in), tag was only half-sewn on, there are a couple of thick pieces of string or wool near the corners all bunched up and looks like it would pull the blanket apart if snagged on something. So I have to treat it a little more gently than I thought at first.
Overall I like the blanket. However the chemical/diesel smell didn't go away completely when gently washed and I'll have to wait until the sun shines here to try and sun soak and air the smell out.. Be VERY gentle if trying to hand wash the blanket because it sheds and pills like crazy (I only tried washing it to lessen the smell). I got over-confident because I also own a 100% wool blanket and have had zero issues washing it (it's supposedly washable though so take that as you will). But for the price this Mountainhill Blanket is a nice warm breathable blanket that I won't feel bad tossing in the trunk and/or camping with, once I sew the tag back on that is...
