There were two different Rangers with the Zips. One of the kit shops Farmed a bunch out to a local Seamstress and Cut necks and added the border Zips. on the US wdld Ranger Blankies. I have only heard of these as No one who has one would ever turn it in for Surplus Disposal. The Other was the most recent Issue Cadpat Blankie withthe Neck hole w/ Zip and CBorder Zip. Those were breifly available through the Kit shops as well but have since Disappeared. I had a whack for a while in 2008/9 (ish) But none left now.
I have now a Commercially made Cadpat (ish) Fleece Blanket that has the Border Zip. Makes a sweet Bag Liner, and would be great in the warmer months lining the Goretex Bivy. But it doesn't have the field proven qualities of the reg Ranger Blanket.

do your blankets have the zippers added as well like the ones I used to pick up from the RCR kit shops?
