This Chestnut Ridge lap blanket is the authentic Amish-buggy throw — the same heavy-duty blanket that Amish families use in horse-drawn buggies during cold-weather travel where there’s no heater and the open buggy lets wind through. The construction is engineered for actual cold-weather warmth: a ‘fake fur’ outer surface surrounding a synthetic quilted lining, with a nylon mesh windbreaker layer in between that blocks wind from cutting through the layers.
Sized 58 by 72 inches and weighing 6-1/2 lb, the blanket is substantial — it covers two seated adults comfortably or one person plus shoulders, and the weight stays put under wind and movement. Each blanket has two different colors (one on each side), so you can choose your visible color based on mood or match the décor where the blanket lives between uses.
Beyond buggy use, the blanket is the right multi-purpose throw for ice-fishing, hunting blinds, football and baseball games, picnics in cold weather, and emergency car storage in case of winter breakdown. For households in cold climates, outdoor-sport enthusiasts, off-grid families, and anyone wanting a serious cold-weather throw rather than the thin decorative blankets that fill big-box stores, this is the right purchase. Lehman’s catalog selection.
