Ust Brands Survival Blanket 2.0, Orange/Reflective

I did tear the hemming on first use but it was a bit of an extreme circumstance. After tearing it off, I was surprised at how low-quality the hemming is. Everything else is awesome and the hemming isn't going to help prevent tearing on the plastic sheet anyway.

First I don't generally gve 5 stars for anything but this at least gets 4.5 stars plus the price in store is under $12. It is light weight, blaze orange on 1 side, metallic on the other. It's fitted with garments and reinforced all around. Relatively light and about a 16th of an inch thick (a quarter or 2, coins). It's much larger then the competitors at a fraction of the cost (width, at least 2 people wide laying flat). I used it under my family's sleeping bags which helped for clean up but I only felt it during the afternoon while taking a nap. I could definitely feel the reflected heat from the sun on that cold day. I would guess the night would be nominal heat reflection since the air is cooler and the gound absorbs any heat in contact with it. I think its best to really know what a "space blanket" is used for and how they really work as well as its limitations. As for I, we will be using this blanket and another for many more trips and a spare in the vehicle in case of emergencys.
