Adventure Medical Heatsheets Emergency Blanket

Supplement your backcountry gear with Adventure Medical's Heatsheets Emergency Blanket—you'll thank us if you get stuck out there. While emergency (A.K.A. “space”) blankets in general aren't a panacea against freezing cold, they can be tied up for improvised shelter, signal rescue teams to your location with the blaze orange side, and when used correctly, save the life of a hypothermia victim. Also, they're insanely affordable. So while the Heatsheets Blanket will never sub in for a -40 degree sleeping bag, there's also no excuse not to carry one of these tiny Adventure Medical wonders in your pack.

Bottom Line: We hope you never have to use this, but we hope you have one when you need it.

Consider it an ultralight, cheap insurance policy. It's less than 3 oz and $4. It can save your life and it doesn't eat bread. Buy one and carry it.

I have the emergency bivy that is similar to this, and mine is a sort of tyvek-like material, very tough for the weight.

It feels kinda flimsy, but it'll do the job

This one will work just fine by reflecting your body heat back. I've been using the ACR for years & it's lighter:

The best space blanket you can get

By:
May 16, 2008

This blanket is very well thought-out. Compared to other blankets with similar purposes, this one is much less crinkly sounding, doesn't de-laminate into uselessness after storing it in my first aid kit for a year before unfolding (like others do, grrrr....), is quite fire-retardant (useful, as bivies and fires sometimes go together), and does what it claims, that is, reflect heat. It does it so well, in fact, that sitting next to a bivy fire I could feel warmth on my face and exposed arm areas, but not in the areas the blanket covered. Weird. The package claims it is re-usable and re-foldable which I agree with, but it never quite stuffs down as compactly as it began (it ends up being about 2x the size versus about 20x the size for other blankets). Well worth the extra $1.50 or whatever it ends up being vs the competition. Would be worth double, or even triple. Nice work, Adventure Medical.
