Is it warm enough for winter camping?

Yes for most three-season use. Wool insulates even when damp, so it works well as a layer over a sleeping bag or around a campfire. In deep winter, pair it with a sleeping bag.

No. It resists damp and stays warm when wet, but rain will soak through. Use it under a tarp or shell in wet weather.

Can I put it in a washing machine?

Wool blends should be washed cold on a gentle cycle or by hand, then air dried. Hot water and machine drying can shrink and mat the wool.

How does it compare with a pure wool blanket?

The synthetic blend is cheaper, tougher and less prone to moth damage, but slightly less warm and soft than pure wool.

Is it safe near a campfire?

It is treated to resist fire, so embers are less likely to ignite it. It is not fireproof, so keep it clear of open flame.

It measures 60 by 80 inches, large enough to wrap around an adult or cover a twin bed.

Our take on the Rothco Wool Rescue Survival Blanket

The Rothco Wool Rescue Survival Blanket is a 60" x 80" blanket made from a 55% wool, 45% synthetic blend. Wool insulates well even when damp, and the blend adds durability and lowers the cost of pure wool. It is treated to resist fire, which suits campers and emergency kits. Against pure wool blankets it is cheaper and tougher; against synthetic emergency blankets it is warmer, heavier and far more comfortable. Owners rate it well overall, though some find it scratchy and heavy to pack.
