Retain up to 90% body heat with this compact foil blanket

Emergency foil blankets, sometimes known as space or mylar blankets, are pivotal in first aid and emergency scenarios. Recognised by NASA and endorsed by the British Standard Regulations (BS-8599), these blankets are specifically designed to reflect up to 90% of body heat. Their waterproof and windproof capabilities provide optimal protection, making them a prime addition to any first aid kit.

Crafted from the advanced material, Kelvalite, which combines a polyester film with a vapourised metallic coating, these blankets ensure heat retention even in wet conditions, safeguarding the wearer against hypothermia. With the added benefit of being individually sealed in pocket-sized poly bags, they remain a compact and indispensable tool for emergency situations.

Essential Outdoor Companion

These blankets aren't just compact and cost-effective; they're multifaceted:

Shelter Building with Foil Blankets

Construct a makeshift tent or tarp using the waterproof foil blanket, offering protection from rain or light snow. To maximise warmth, create a reflective backing by setting a fire in front of your shelter, allowing the heat to radiate towards you.

Signal for Help

Enhance your visibility from the sky with its shiny facade, or use it as a makeshift mirror to catch someone's attention from afar. Place the reflective side of the blanket in an open field for passive signalling, especially effective if search and rescue teams are out.

How to use the Foil Blanket

  1. Unpack with Care: Gently remove the foil blanket from its pocket-sized sachet. Ensure you handle it with care to avoid any tears or punctures.
  2. Open Fully: Unfold the blanket completely to maximise its size (1.4m x 2m).
  3. Wrap Around the Body: Drape the blanket around the individual, ensuring it covers them from the shoulders down to their feet. In colder environments, it's essential to ensure as much of the body is covered as possible to retain body heat effectively.
  4. Secure in Place: In windy conditions, ensure the blanket is secured around the individual, perhaps by tucking edges under arms or around the waist. This will prevent the wind from getting in and will maximise heat retention.
  5. For Additional Comfort: When necessary, combine with a warm fabric blanket for added comfort and insulation.
  6. Dispose After Use: Once you're safe and no longer in need of the blanket, fold it up and dispose of it responsibly. Remember, it's designed for single use to ensure effectiveness.

For on-the-go warmth, transform your blanket into a poncho. By carefully cutting a central hole for your head, drape it over yourself, securing it in place. Though it deflects rain and wind, remember to monitor sweat levels to avoid cold dampness.

When to seek medical assistance

While foil blankets are invaluable in providing immediate warmth and stabilising body temperature, it's crucial to recognise when further medical help is necessary. If you or someone else experiences symptoms like uncontrollable shivering, numbness, confusion, or drowsiness after exposure to cold, or if there are any signs of injury, it's important to seek medical assistance promptly.

These symptoms can indicate serious conditions like hypothermia or shock, which require professional medical attention. Remember, a foil blanket is a first step in care, but it's not a substitute for medical treatment in severe cases.
