Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What exactly is a shepherd's blanket or “tapaboques"?

It is a thick, traditional blanket from Pyrenean shepherds, designed to protect against the cold and rain. Vital's version reproduces the ancestral model with 100% “Barbarina” wool.

Why is it waterproof without chemical treatments?

Thanks to the fabric's felted finish, water slides off without penetrating.

Is it better for the environment than synthetic blankets?

Yes. It's biodegradable, renewable, doesn't generate microplastics, and is part of a circular project that rescues wool and local herds.

What are its size and weight?

240 × 150 cm and approximately 2 kg. Perfect for the couch, travel, or camping.

How to wash the waterproof shepherd's blanket?
