Product Description
I spent three-nights bushwalking, and an Emergency Blanket turned out to be critical for each & every night. I admittedly went in unprepared with a zip-up fleece blanket -- like a sleeping bag but not a sleeping bag -- and a cotton liner. The first day & night were dry, but at night I noted that my body heat was being lost to the world too quickly. My tent, double-layer air mattress, fleece blanket, & liner were not enough. I put on a dry heavy Columbia Omni-Wick shirt -- not enough. I put on dry ski socks -- not enough. Then I had to take the Emergency Blanket step, and I was then confident I would be OK. The next two days & nights were extremely wet & notably cold as I fast-tracked to get out of the park. And I luckily I could just-manage to keep my sleeping gear dry thanks to a compression dry sack (everything else was soaked), and adding on the Emergency Blanket was a no-brainer each following night. For a few bucks and the confidence that you'll wake up in the morning ... buy it. (And buy a double-layer air mattress too depending upon what you're doing ... losing heat to the ground was big time non-issue for me.)

Engineered to reflect and retain over 80% of radiated body heat. the unique combination of vacuum deposited metal and a polyester film surface allows no wind or moisture penetration. when folded, it is approximately the size of a deck of cards, but opens into a 56”x84” blanket. the original space brand blanket has been made in the usa for over 40 years. store in car, camper, boat, or gear bag in case of emergency, or use after marathons, or sporting events. available in silver/silver for general outdoor protection, silver/orange for greater air-to-ground visibility especially against snow or water backgrounds, or olive-drab/silver for tactical situations requiring a thermal emergency blanket that blends in to surroundings. waterproof & windproof, size 1”x4” folded; unfolds to 56”x84” and weighs only 3 oz. available in silver/silver, gold/silver & tactical olive-drab/silver colors.
