Compact Emergency Blanket for Cold Exposure and Shock
The Blizzard IFAK Blanket by Safeguard Medical is a compact, lightweight emergency blanket designed for individual use. Made with Reflexcell™ material, it features elastic-reinforced channels that help retain body heat by creating an insulative layer of trapped air. Its metallised inner surface reflects warmth back to the user, while the windproof and waterproof outer layer provides protection against the elements. The blanket’s discreet light green exterior helps reduce visual profile in outdoor settings. Vacuum-sealed for convenience, it fits easily into an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) and is suitable for use in situations where managing cold exposure or shock is important.

What is Reflexcell™?
Reflexcell™ is a groundbreaking material, central to the exceptional performance of Blizzard Survival products, including the Blizzard 2 Layer Active Range Survival Jacket. Developed with the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and professionals in mind, Reflexcell™ provides unparalleled thermal efficiency in even the most challenging conditions.
The idea for Reflexcell™ was born 15 years ago, when Blizzard Survival’s founder and managing director, Derek Ryden, recognised the need for a material more effective than traditional plastic bivvy bags and lighter than conventional sleeping bags. An engineer and active mountaineer, Derek Ryden developed Reflexcell™, a material that revolutionised thermal performance in outdoor gear.
Reflexcell™ Endorsements and Testing
The effectiveness of Reflexcell™ has been confirmed through rigorous in-house testing and external trials by the US Army Institute of Surgical Research. As a result, the Blizzard Survival Blanket, made from Reflexcell™, is endorsed by the US Army Medical Center Directorate of Combat and Doctrine Development and is used exclusively in training Army medics for treating hypothermia.
Maximising Reflexcell™ Efficiency
To get the most out of Reflexcell™ products, it's important to follow specific guidelines. Despite occasional minor packaging punctures that might slightly alter the pack's appearance, the performance of Reflexcell™ is not compromised. Enhancing ground insulation, for example, by using a sleeping mat, rucksack, or even vegetation, can significantly increase warmth when lying on the ground.
