hikeasaurIts not Primaloft or Climashield inside these. Most likely bulk polyester batting. Not a MLD or EE level quilt by any means, but then its not meant to compete in that arena either. This is made with heavier cover materials, with less comfort feel than a calendared 10d nylon would give you. Its more utilitarian and less fragile. That said I don't think its worth the price. I'd buy a DIY RayWay quilt, be ~3/4 the weight with 2x the warmth for comparable dollars, or save money for a 1/2 the weight yet similar temp rating.

nydiverThe blankets us a 3D hollow fiber, which has excellent loft to weight ratio due to the way the fibers interact hold themselves in place. There is no "fancy" name for the fiber like primaloft, but it is essentially a similar, off-brand construction. The blankets also use a 20D, which is comparable (if not better) to most high end poly-fill bags. There is no need to go with a lower Denier fabric (15/10D) if you are not making an ultra light down product.

NickPolinkoHow would you rate the outer for tear resistance?
Some one I camp with manages to snag it on something.

wobblysauceWith any kind of tent/sleeping bag/puffy jacket, sharp objects are not encouraged. But they will stand up to rocks, trees, bushes etc pretty well. The advantage here is not snags/pulls on the material like you would a wool blanket that can get "fuzzy" after normal use.
