The best space blanket you can get

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.
