Adventure Medical Emergency Blanket Shelter Orange Weight 71 g 1411 mm x 2117 mm - Heetsheets Material Reflects 90% Bodyheat Heat Quiet Material Repeairable Recyclable (LDPE-4)

Lightweight, packable and great emergency use or to supplement sleep system when your sleeping bag proves not to be as warm as the rating suggests. Remember whilst emergency blankets prevent you losing 90% of body heat, if you wrap it around someone already hypothermic they may need extra heat sources, even if you just put some handwarmers in their armpits! Useful in a First-aid kit too, as prevention against Shock. I like these ones as they are repackable and suited to multiple uses, where the cheap silver ones rip in a slight breeze. These aren't as noisy as cheap ones either. If your going to use in emergencies, its useful the outside is Orange for visibility. Hopefully your casualty won't get run over by the ambulance!

I have one of these already, I use it for lightweight ground sheet for camping and carrying it for emergency, if you carry some small amounts of gaffer tape on your walking poles you can fashion it into a form of bivvy bag or tape it around you under your waterproofs if awaiting rescue or delay on your walk. Great bit of kit and arrived quickly, lighter than a bothy bag for summer use.

Useful to have in the boot of your car(s) just in case. I just hope I will never need them!

Yes it's more expensive than the disposable thermal blankets. - But those are a danger - one small tear and they're garbage. This blanket is 10x more durable (you can still tear it with abuse, it just doesn't disintegrate itself)., while still being lightweight and compact. Used as a groundsheet/emergency blanket/ rain cover for ultralight camping - perfect :)

Pricey, but probably the best emergency blanket you can get. I carry one on my runs up on the fells. It's good to know I wouldn't freeze to death if I got injured in the middle of nowhere.

You don't need to wait till you are needing airlifting off K9 to use this and you don't have to be an intrepid explorer of mountaineer to find one of these handy. Last time I was freezing cold was mid summer on a steam train with no heating on trailing down the Rocky mountains. It's small enough and light enough to keep in your bag and when you're freezing at 3am in Flagstaff waiting for a train that's 6 hours late, or on a train or anywhere else, you wrap up and warm up!

You have to have one of these sat at the bottom of your rucksac. super lightweight and a must if you get into trouble on the fells or generally out walking. you may one day need to keep warm while someone comes to rescue you. not a bad thing to have should you come across someone else in trouble and injured. for the price be safe.

It's OK but a lot more than most similar blankets. At the same time as buying these at £6.99 each, I bought a 10 pack of another make that worked out at 99p each. They actually seem very similar so I weighed them and this blanket is about 20% heavier than the (much) cheaper ones, so I assume it's stronger. However, I've always found the decent cheaper ones do the job. The reason I tried these is because they are apparently re-usable, however, in practice I imagine folding it all back up into a similar size as it started out would be a bit tricky and you would have to do that 7x to get the value compared to the cheaper ones.
