This may be the smallest/lightest piece of gear that has the greatest potential to save your life in a not so uncommon emergency... getting stuck in the wilderness overnight without shelter. If this situation occurs in mild conditions, this bivvy will keep you from mild hypothermia. However, if you're backcountry mountaineering and SOL stuck in a surprise storm this little fella can mean the difference between surviving and not.
Also, I think it's superior to the emergency blanket because your body is sealed from the elements, instead of having to worry about gaps.
