    Comments about Space Emergency Blanket:

    Have carried one of these for years but boy was I glad that I had it when I needed it. Let me tell you, it is well worth the tiny bit of space and weight when you need it. We were stranded between two rivers when backpacking due to a flash flood. The temperature plunged from 60 to 30 degrees for day time temps. We had to wait for rescue for several days due to the rising swift water. We were wet due to driving rain and trying to cross the river. These space blankets kept us warm. They aren't comfortable but they do what they are supposed to. Even the dog climbed underneath. We now carry one for each person and each dog. I highly recommend you add it to your pack, put one in your car and one in your emergency home kit. The only reason it's 4 star instead of 5 is that it's not reusable...but I'll keep buying them and hope I don't need them. If I do I know they work.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Space Emergency Blanket:

    This is an Essential Mountaineering tool. Period. If you are smart you will buy one of these and away keep it on you, no matter if your going for a day hike in the local mountains or if you are dog-sledding in the Labrador frontier. Simple to use, but hard to repack, the only con is that it may get too warm for you, you will notice condensation building up on the inside of the blanket. Don't use it as your only source of sleep wear but keep one as a backup. It also doubles as an emergency signal if your stranded.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    A warm bed during winter power outages

      Comments about Space Emergency Blanket:

      Excellent product for use at home during power outages. Place the emergency blanket on the bed between regular blanket and bedspread. Body heat comes back to provide a cozy, warm night's sleep. With careful handling, the emergency blanket can be used over and over.
