hey does anyone know what the loft is... im assuming it is really cheap-like 500 at best, because they are so inexpensive.
Thanks,
Dan
I'm sure it's cheap stuff. Label just says 80% down, which I assume means there are feathers in there too. The throws have very little loft to them.

I picked up 3 today, one blue & two grey. They don't have much loft, but I figure one would be great next to the couch (I'm stingy with the heat), and I can use the other two to make a UQ. I only car/motorcycle camp, so weight isn't that big a deal for me
FWIW...
Went to a SA in Greenville, South Carolina - but they didn't know what I was talking about. Manager called another SA nearby but same story. Then she surprised me by calling Academy Sports and they told her they had a similar item and they go for $9.99, come in lots of colors, and measure 60"x50".
Omaha SA has 10 of them $9.97 and had some other think fleece blankets the same size for $6.97. The cheap skate in me had me purchasing the FLEECE one instead. They just looked warmer but maybe I should go back!
Picked up 3 today in the Houston area.
Go Dawgs!!!!

Thanks for the post Knotty.
I picked up several last night...unsure how I will use at this point...maybe like you, indoor hanging.
We bought 4 in Fenton (St. Louis) SA. Trying them out this morning on the couch and they are nice and toasty. I'm thinking this is my summer TQ. Short, but if you had a jacket they would be fine and I'm thinking about getting a down sweater from Eddie Bauer. Maybe one on top and one on bottom.
None in the Greensboro NC store
