How much does this blanket weight

Hey guys,

I know some of you all has this blanket.

Can anyone tell me how much this blankets weights? I have see it listed anywhere from 2.5 to over 5 lbs. Most importantly, it is warm enough. Thanks

God Bless

I have 2 of those. Great blankets. Got mine for $19 at a local surplus store. I just went and weighed one for you. They are heavy; 84 oz on the nose (5 and a 1/4 pounds). Haven't used it yet in the winter, but my experience has been that any 100% wool blanket with any weight is warm. At least it has been with the Swiss and Czech ones I've had. These Italian ones are of good quality, but I can't speak for the ones SG has.
 
Stupid sportsmansguide, tried ordering some of those the other day, their checkout says theyre a "restricted item" and cant be shipped to Canada. I call and they say that military gear cant cross the border, even though the rest of my order was all Mil surplus and ready to ship AND the same blanket they sell for $30 can ship.

I dont like their whole setup for shipping to Canada, they charge duty up front and it's totally random, some stuff was getting hit with 18% duty PLUS tax. The deals are good but damn, I'd have to spend $50 on shipping/duty/tax on an order thats only $100....
