I absolutely love this blanket as a hiker, and an avid person that must have a blanket while snuggled on the sofa. This has gone everywhere with me since receiving it. This weekend we went around the Colorado area to enjoy the fall foliage. At the higher elevations it was sitting in the low 50s and very windy. This blanket kept me warm at those overlooks when it was time to sit down for a picnic among the trees, this blanket was used for our ground cover. Wally got a little bit muddy as soon as I threw it in the wash everything cleaned easily, and as once again on the back of the sofa, ready for movie night after work.
