Thermal Blanket October 16, 2009 Diane M. Pritchard (Spokane, WA) Bought these for our cabin and to pack when out in the woods. Hopefully we will not have to use, but feel better just knowing we have them.
Good Value for 10 Essentials Pack October 7, 2009 J. Tsai (Bellevue, WA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this to stock my 10 essentials/emergency pack, and am happy with the product. Each blanket comes in its own plastic bag, which are nested in a larger bag which results in a compact and easy to pack product. The product is also pretty cheap, as there are other thermal blankets that are quite expensive out there.

Purchased these to put in our cars and our emergency preparedness kit. It would be great if I never open the package.
Emergency Essential September 6, 2009 Ambergris (New England.....USA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have carried mylar thermal blankets along with me during my hikes to the north country here for decades. In addition to the many other uses mentioned here by others, I have used them before to actually sleep with just to experience it. And even though they are like curling up all cozy with a large plastic bag, they are nothing less than amazingly warm. Quite simply put, they enable you to radiate back as much of your own body heat as several wool blankets are capable of. However, there is one thing I feel I must add about sleeping with these blankets on a cold ground that doesn't seem to be covered by other reviewers. Remember that to keep warm, you must have as much insulation under you as over. At home, our mattress more than does the job. Out in the wilderness on the cold ground we are forced to improvise. If it comes a time that you really are in a survival situation, or just forced by whatever causes to be sleeping directly on a cold ground, remember to put as many of these thermals, (or any kind of blanket) under you as over. You would not believe the number of hikers and campers I have encountered that pile on the blankets on top of them, while putting just one underneath. And then wonder why they spent the entire night nearly freezing to death. In conclusion, one cannot recommend having these along on a hike or camping trip enough since they are so small and easy to tote along. Carrying one 4 pack of these thermals on a hike or camping trip is equivalent to toting 10 full size blankets. Something near impossible to manage in a back pack outing even if you wanted to. Considering their low cost, versatile uses, and life saving possibilities, one would have to be a fool not to pack them on any wilderness excursion, or include them as an essential addition in any survival kit. My own recommendation is don't leave home without them, and, buy them here on Amazon in bulk rather than at a sporting goods store, where they can easily cost you twice as much...
Good quality Space Blanket June 29, 2009 W. Strong (Denver, CO) 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
I've played with a couple of different brands of space blankets and these blankets are of fine quality. They suffer the usual short comings of this material (tears spread easily) but on the grand scale of space blanket brands, you are getting one of the better quality blankets. For example, one of the cheaper brands I have tried experienced flaking of the mylar coating after (admittedly) rough handling. The brand being reviewed here did not suffer from this flaking. Definitely recommended.
