The blanket weighs just under 4 pounds. One blanket received weighed 4 pounds 3 ounces. This is approximately 3/4 pounds under the original regulation weight of not less than 5 pounds. The blanket is still considered to have a nice heavy weight.

Yes, the blanket is suitable for practical use. It has been used as a bed blanket in cold weather. It is also described as being very warm. The blanket can also serve as a saddle blanket, preventing hot spots better than modern saddle pads.
