Comments about SOL Emergency Blanket:

Slept in my car at night with engine and heater off when temp. was about 38 degrees F. I'm 5'7", blanket covered me completely and within minutes I was toasty. I moved around quite a bit and it didn't tear. Appears fragile, but is extremely strong. Easy to fold back up when done. I purchased more after this experience.

Comments about SOL Emergency Blanket:

I liked how compact this space blanket was compared to others I've used. I bought 3 of these 2 for my packs and 1 to try before use. I consider these a last ditch / survival use and not as an everyday subsitute for a blanket or sleeping bag. I spent a night out on the AT in PA with just this blanket, an army poncho and liner in 45 degree weather.

Like all space blankets it was noisey and there was some condensation inside. The blanket didn't tear and I believe it would have lasted for many days if taken care of. Even at home I wasn't able to fold small enough to put back in the bag but I could get into a pocket. I like the recloseable pouch it comes in because it protects the blanket while stored and gives you a waterproof pouch to store stuff like dry tinder etc.

Comments about SOL Emergency Blanket:

Keep one or two of these in your kit; they can be used in a variety of ways as any good, heavy-duty plastic sheeting can. This two-sided space blanket is easily visible in virtually any environment, and the reflective coating is resilient unlike most cheaper versions. Buy a couple of extra to practice with *before* you need to use it, however, as one needs a PhD in folding to get it repacked.

Highly recommended even for a minimalist kit.
