a new polar fleece blanket costs a mere $2.50 retail -- compared to $2.00 for a recycled [woolen fiber] blanket.

It's just that wool is easily twice and perhaps four times as warming as fleece, at the same shipping weight and volume.

Fleece makes a pretty good sieve.

It does NOTHING to keep you warm unless it’s under something that is wind proof.

As an outer layer, it’s pretty useless.
