      Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

      i am not a sports person at all. i am a granny with rheumatoid arthritis. i have used this for five years. It is so simple and effective. i keep it folded next to my bed and use when needed. Using it warms me up in less than five minutes and i am able to fall asleep. if i do not use it, it may take half the night to warm up enough to fall asleep deeply. i don't use electric blankets. Other blankets, even down-filled, don't work fast like the reflective heat ones. Often i don't realize i am cold until i get into bed then i don't feel like getting out to make hot water bottles. I only wish it was softer and even more durable. It would make a thoughtful gift for any older person who feels the cold alot.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

      Great for picnics and the beach as it does not collect dirt and sand. Use as a ground cloth, etc. Make sure it is dry before putting it away or mold will quickly eat at the coating.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        I've handled hypothermia incidents with both this and space blankets. The space blankets tore and were useless. These are strong, effective, and not much harder to pack than space blankets. Don't leave home without one.

        • Small tarp for bivvy

        Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

        I use this product as an emergency bivvy sack. For that purpose the 5x7 foot size is a little short on the 5 foot side. But it is versatile and can be used also as an emergency shelter tarp. At 12 ounces it is a bit heavier than some of my alternates, but it is inexpensive and folds up nicely and has lasted a long time. I dislike ordinary "space blankets" because they are flimsy and blow around in the slightest breeze. This is much better. Tie cords on the corners and carry a long cord for a ridge line if you want to pitch it like a tarp.

          Don't waste your money on a Space Blanket, buy this instead.
          Good material, durable & reuseable. Easy to pack & provides good protection & insulation. Reflective side can be very useful.
          We have 2 and are going to buy more.

            I got my first one from my father maybe 45 years ago. I keep three in the trunk of my car and I always carry one on an outing where shelter and/or cold would be an issue. We have used them for shelters, but mostly I use one to insulate between my Big Agnes air mattress and my sleeping bag, as this way I don't have to carry closed cell material which lessens the bulk. They are essential in cold weather in case of hypothermia. Lots and lots of uses! An essential part of my gear always!!

            I have one of these that I purchased around 1972! Only recently have holes developed, causing me to get a new one...but the old one still gets used.

            For myself, this item has been my constant ground cover, placed under the tent while camping, or as a ground cloth while picnicking.
            It has absorbed the abuse that the unprotected tent floor would have received while camping. The weight is less, vastly less, than a "footprint".

            I can only praise this item, it has obvious other uses that make it better than a "space blanket".

              Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

              This product is so versatile it is hard to know where to begin. After 40 years of living in the trunk of my car and regular use in most imaginable situations, it is polka-dotted with little tears (well mended with gaffer's tape) and has reached the point where it is slightly embarrassing to use in the presence of others. A necessity. Time to replace.

              I wont go camping with out it. It has many many uses from something you keep in the trunk of your car to a drop cloth for your tent or a rain tarp for camping. I have used one of these since the mid 80's. They are relatively cheap and very versatile I have used mine for many of things from tarping of a load in my pickup truck to using it as a rain Canopy during a rainy backpacking trip. I always have one laying around.

                  I've had this for a couple years, and have yet to use it as an emergency blanket. But... have used hung it like tarp, and laid it under sleeping bag when winter camping. Instead of bringing an xtra tarp, I'm going to get another one of these... then I have space blankets in case of emergency. :)
