These are very thin for the record. They are okay. If you want a lightweight and decent performing military blanket, look up a woobie. Buy a surplus one, not a reproduction. They come in various outdated camo colors.

Comes with a free thermal (aluminum) blanket as well. Debating on getting this just as a use around the house blanket or for the dogs lol

Got these last time and was pretty impressed. The plaid was substantially thinner and lighter overall than the solid blanket.

these are awesome when you haven't slept in 3 days and dudes watch you shower and take a crap. they also give you something to do by leaving lint everywhere in your space which gives you the perk of 'new friends' when you meet someone else to yell at you about the disgusting mess. this must be where anyone but you get your blanket because mine always looked like big foot's used toilet paper.

I agree.

What it would most often equate to is that the quality control *may* be higher/tighter in terms of adherence to or toleration for deviation from specification.

In other words, there are specs outlining ingredient ratio, construction type, tolerance, durability, pass/fail rate, etc. as defined under the specifications of design and contract under which its manufactured. SOMETIMES this can equate to something being of higher quality than a civilian equivalent - where the specification itself dictates this, and sometimes NOT because the specification might not yield a higher quality than a civilian equivalent (where an equivalent exists).

In my opinion and in my experience it's more frequently a matter of stricter adherence to specification and assurances of such via contractual obligations and quality control/assurance programs. For example, I worked in a machine shop (eons ago) that produced various parts for both the US Military and General Electric (among other clients). There were parts destined for both the Military and GE that were identical. Same machine produced them from the same raw material, collected in the same bins for cleaning and testing. The difference? A higher pass ratio requirement under testing for the Military part and in most cases I ever observed the GE parts also passed the stricter requirement (same machine, same batches, etc.) and only sometimes might GE get batches that had a lower pass rate simply because they passed THEIR requirement but failed the Military contract requirement. But the batches were all the same, just came down to test result vs. contractual requirements.

It''s a term that is tossed around, both accurately and inaccurately, to produce a sense in the buyer (i.e. 'marketing') of higher quality. YMMV.
