I bought these for my husband. Previously he had a more expensive brand (Overland). When I got these in the mail they felt weird, like they had been sprayed with something. They weren't very soft. They smelled funny. I put them in the closet with incense packed inside for a few weeks before giving it to him and they smelled fine.<br /><br />They're not as good quality as I had hoped, but for the price they're nice. They've softened up over time. They are VERY warm. Good for midwest winter but not for many other times of year.
