First off it's HUGE, and will cover 2-3 people easily. It's the softest Alpaca/sheep wool blanket I've bought so far, and I also bought a Desert Breeze Alpaca/sheep wool blanket with almost the same dimensions and weight. The Desert Breeze one was supposed to be made from half Alpaca and half Merino wool. So I thought it would be even softer and warmer, but it wasn't. It was very similar, but not as soft as the Alpaca Warehouse brand. This Alpaca Warehouse brand is noticeably softer, it's longer and wider by about four inches, and it weighs a half pound or so more. The Alpaca Warehouse blanket is also cheaper, by 20-40 dollars, depending on if a coupon is available. This blanket will keep you warm and toasty, but you won't get overheated. It truly is a luxurious blanket! If you want the warmest, softest, thickest, and biggest blanket, get the king size. I actually just bought the queen/full sized version of this Alpaca Warehouse blanket, because it had a 20 dollars off coupon. It will be better for camping, because it weighs less. That should tell you how much I love this blanket. The only reason I got the Desert Breeze version of this blanket, is because it was "Amazon's choice" and was supposed to be half Merino wool, not just sheep wool. But the tag did not say Merino wool, it said half Alpaca and half sheep wool, and it wasn't as soft as the Alpaca Warehouse version. The only reason I didn't return it, is because the company selling it is a small American business, it would have been a hastle to return, and it's still a quality blanket. But the Alpaca Warehouse beats them in price, quality and comfort. So if you are looking for a luxurious wool blanket that will last for several generations, look no further! I couldn't recommend this blanket enough! Anyone who already loves wool blankets, will absolutely adore this one! They sell out quickly during winter too, so if you are contemplating this purchase, don't. Just get it! I guarantee you will love it! I couldn't be happier with the quality, of this blanket! Like others have mentioned, it does have a slight lanolin smell, but anyone who owns wool knows that is par for the course. You know it's real quality wool when it has that smell. You could always wash it before you use it, just don't use detergent. Get something specifically for wool, or use a natural detergent made from essential oils and such. You wouldn't want to ruin the properties of genuine Alpaca and wool. This blanket is great for winter at home or if you car camp. It would be great taking with you on a trip to the cabin. I wouldn't recommend it for backpack camping, although it would work. But it's heavy, so you have to take that into consideration. But it would probably beat out quite a few heavy duty sleeping bags, so it could be used. But it is very big, thick, and bulky, so I wouldn't use it for backpack camping. Either way, especially if you live in the Northern hemisphere, it is a great investment. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so you mine as well enjoy that time with a beautiful warm, soft, and cozy Alpaca Warehouse Alpaca/sheep wool blanket.
