Great thing to have in your pack. Obviously beats those thin, flimsy space blankets. I think I saw a video where a guy used this as a shelter.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

got this for my yearly road/camping trip. definitely good at heat refraction when placed under my sleeping bag to prevent heat loss through the ground. it has holes in the corners to be used as a tarp (would be perfect for any emergency situation). i would recommend this for a bug out kit or just a little extra warmth during those colder camping days. it also packs pretty small id say 6"Lx6"Wx2"H

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

This tarp is amazing. I use it as my shelter when backpacking, regardless of weather conditions.

Last time I used it on a 3 days AT trip in which i did not bring a sleeping bag but a fleece liner instead... It works in cold days of march in PA.

I would like to see this blanket in different sizes and not only in 5x7.

Combining two is not too bad but I'd rather use only a bigger size.

Good for everything.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

Up front, I just received this product today, and have not had a chance to use it. These are my initial impressions.I was expecting the product to be a little thicker, with a beefier backing to it. Alas, this is essentially tarp material with a foil side to it. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, I was just expecting something different.I have no doubt that this thing is durable though, at least it will be far more durable than those cheap emergency blankets you get at [@]. It is also fairly large, and takes up a little more space than I expected in my bag. However, it seems as though it can take some abuse, and even weather some patching (read: duct tape) if needed and still retain functionality. Seems good for the $$.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

i have used this in my cold basement as a blanket and it works better than other blankets. in an emergency or survival situation, this would be a perfect replacement for a sleeping bag. i received this as a gift from a friend who already had one. he and i used it in an imitation emergency and it worked well.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

I come from a family of camp-o-holics, so I've been familiar with this product (and its relatives) pretty much as long as I've been kicking around.

In February, I bought one to take on an overnight bike trip. I wanted something light and packable as a backup for my -10F Slumberjack bag. Our trip, it so happened, took place on the one weekend of winter 2011-2012 that could actually be called 'cold.' With overnight lows below freezing, we expected a chilly night.

When I crawled into my bag after a late night around the fire, it seemed to be taking too long to warm up (this seems to be a function of my sleeping bag; it takes about 30 minutes to really warm up) -- so I draped this blanket over me and tucked it in at the sides.

In just a few minutes I was warm enough to nod off; an hour later, I woke up sweating. I rolled the all-weather blanket under the bag and was perfectly comfortable for the rest of the night.

Considering that it takes up so little space, there's absolutely no reason to leave one of these puppies out of your camping kit. As an emergency shelter, ground cloth, hypothermia relief blanket, or simply an extra layer for your cold-weather sleep setup, you can't go wrong.

Simply put, if you think you might need one of these guys, go for it.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

These blankets are great, they pack small, are lite and hold up well. I've only used mine on 2 trips so far, but it still looks brand new. I use them for tent floor lining and breaking down camp(rolling up sleeping pads and setting stuff aside on and out of the dirt). They do hold the warmth in, at 8 degrees(air temp with frozen ground) the blanket was noticeably warmer by touch than the tent floor while in my bag. I would definitely recommend for winter outings.

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

I used my blanket for years as a wildland fire fighter. When stuck out on a fireline over night without any real camping equipment, it works great as a temporary bivy and got me through plenty of cold nights. Also used it for a makeshift tent using para cord. We also fashioned a stretcher out of one using two small trees and para cord. 1001 uses.

5x6, not 5x7

By Tmabi

from Portland,OR

See all my reviews

Comments about Space All-Weather Blanket:

Just used this on Mt Hood for an ultralight night. Used this as a ground cloth/sleeping pad/tent and it was pretty good. Excellent insulation, very light, waterproof. Started off on top then it it started raining so I folded it in half and slept in the pocket for a while. I'm about 6' and there was enough room to shelter me, but not my bag, shoes, etc. The only reason I went four stars, is because it is 6x5 not 5x7 as specified.
