I am looking for a new blanket and am wondering about the difference between nylon and cotton lining.
What are the differences?
Thank you |

I like nylon. I found the cotton lining gets full of hair and extremely hard to clean. I also think nylon give their coat a shinier finish!! That could be just me though.... |

Lori like LeeAnn I like nylon because it stays cleaner. My old cotton one held onto the hair and odor more. I had a blanket that came with one of my horses that was entirely cotton, no nylon and besides the above problems stretched out quite a bit as well. |

Another vote for nylon .. cotton liners tend to bind up more on the horse, where nylon slides over the coat more easily. |

I agree with everyone above. Nylon is the way to go. Cotton is more likely to cause blanket rubs than nylon. |

Another vote for nylon, for all the above reasons. |

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
This could be why the cotton lined are being offered so inexpensive.
I will go with nylon.
Thank you again. |

Another vote here for Nylon lined. I have a light weight quilted (Amigo) stable blanket that I use at night when temps are in the 30*s...I can add a rainsheet over it for turnout...but I love it because it moves with the horse and does not bind or rub...and I can throw it in MY washing machine easily!
