I've collected various wool blankets over the years, mostly mil-surplus, but also own some quality ones like a vintage Hudson Bay point blanket. I am very pleased with the design, weight, thickness, and softness of the Banderita blanket. For the price point it's difficult to find something with all of these qualities. Time will only tell how durable this alpaca blend will be as my point blanket is now going on few decades strong! I would definitely recommend this blanket to any wool blanket enthusiast. Hope this helps

very yummy blanket. Warm and soft. all natural fibers

Nice warm BLANKET, just what we needed. He sat loves it too

This blanket is excellent. It's light but very warm and soft. Excellent value for what you get. I will purchase again.

This blanket was as described, well-made and really beautiful!

Best blanket I've ever slept in...sheds a bit (because it's pure wool) so if sleeping outside definitely use a ground cover of some kind.

I "camp in". Camping in means saving money by running the heat low during the winter. I have developed a whole system for sleeping in a cold house. The key ingredient in this system are good blankets. Sheepskin, down, electric, etc. Along with that, things like innovative Aerogel insulation is a viable component of a good blanket system. I decided, however, to make an alpaca blanket the main blanket, and to buy that blanket from this company. (1) The primacy of alpaca After years of research, I've concluded Alpaca is the best overall material for clothing to keep warm with, wool, cashmere, down, fur, Aerogel, silk, leather, etc. following after. (2) The integrity of this company It is known there is some fraud in the alpaca industry. A label claim of alpaca alone doesn't necessarily make something alpaca. I bought a sweater from this company and there is little doubt that the sweater is what it claimed to be: 100% alpaca. (3) Based on those two reasons, I bought the king size blanket. I believe it is what they say it is: a good balance of alpaca and merino. I sleep tested the blanket for the first time last night, as we've gotten a rare mid-Fall cold spell here in the DC area. In the morning, using an infrared thermometer, I measured the temperature in the room and under the blanket. The room was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit; under the blanket, about 70 degrees. Now, that was just a preliminary "rough draft" test. But it impressed me: the only other insulation besides the blanket was a sleeping bag not rated for cold weather. I add my recommendation to that of the others here.

This blanket is massive and beautiful! We have only just received it, but we are in love! It is much bigger than most king sized blankets and oh so soft! We are in love with it already.

We LOVE this blanket. It's huge, super warm, and so so natural, grounding, and beautiful feeling.
