Italian Army Wool Blanket, used, pretty good condition.

[Fursty Ferret]

Italian Army Wool Blanket. Genuine, verified by comparison in the field with an actual Italian’s one, purchased from unissued surplus for one time expedition. Has had the infamous naphthalene smell removed and is almost soft. Very tough blanket, that said, slight loosening at edges (see photograph) but easily repairable. 100% Wool. Measures 8" x 64" approx., weighs 5.5lb. *Disclaimer, though it has a cult following, I didn't find it warm (and you have to wrap yourself in it properly) nor comfortable (that wool itch) but I am built like a whippet. That said, the guy next to me with a different wool blanket froze on the exped also. Some people love them other's hate them, it's a bit Marmite, I prefer a sleeping bag. There, I said it.



£25-30, O.B/N.O + Postage (which will be verified beforehand)

Working nights at the moment - you want to see the quality of my work! Yeah, add a zero and it will make more sense, though personally I'd be more than happy with 8" Not really interested in trades as I'm having to clear a lot of gear to meet changing circumstances in the coming months.

Guy on exped (a Swede living in Switzerland) had a Swiss one and you can't go wrong, like their chocolate and penknives.
