How to Use the Blizzard 2 Layer Active Range Survival Jacket

Opening the Pack:

  1. Access the Product: Tear at the red pre-cut slit at the base of the package to open.
  2. Unroll and Stretch: Gently unroll the product to its full length and stretch it sideways. Ensure all cells are fully extended, both around and along the entire length of the jacket.
  3. Arm Hole Caution: Pay extra attention to the ends of the armholes, as they are more delicate.
  4. Initial Inflation: After stretching, the material may initially appear flat. Give it a few minutes for the cells to fill with air.

In Use:

  1. Maintain Cell Structure: Reflexcell™ functions optimally when all cells are full of air. To achieve this, tug the material lengthwise until it gains a corrugated appearance.
  2. Regular Adjustment: If the cells flatten during use, re-form them by tugging. Avoid stretching the garment too tightly sideways to prevent flattening the cells.

After Use:

  1. Re-form and Roll: To repack, tug the garment lengthwise to re-form the pleats. Roll it up tightly, starting from the head end. Secure with a strap or Blizzard Pouch.
  2. Drying: Once home, unpack, turn inside out, and leave in a warm place for several days to dry thoroughly before repacking.
  3. Vacuum Packing at Home: To return the Blizzard Survival Bag close to its original packed size, use a vacuum cleaner. Neatly tug the bag lengthwise, cover the end of your vacuum cleaner hose with a tea towel, insert it into the top of the bag, and remove the air. Carefully roll or fold from the foot end for optimal compactness. This process is easier with two people.

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 Logo

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.
