Emergency All Weather Space Blanket - Insulation Blankets
Call your space blanket a 3 oz. insurance policy, because it provides full coverage and is intended to protect your life! Space blankets are pocket-sized emergency blankets that can warm you from the cold, shield you from the heat, protect you from driving rain or signal your rescuers - next to an Eagle Scout, they're about the handiest thing to have around in an emergency.
Space Blanket - Find it. Love it. Buy it.
Space blankets were originally developed for use by NASA scientists as a fabric for space vehicles, hence their name.
The shiny, reflective side of the emergency blanket can reflect as much as 80%-90% of your body heat, keeping you warm and preventing hypothermia. The blanket also serves as an emergency beacon - with its reflective side acting as a mirror to alert a search party. With its compact size and multitude of life-saving functions, a thermal blanket is an important and convenient survival tool -toss it in the glove compartment, a backpack, boat or plane for an added measure of security.
The original Space® brand emergency blanket, is about the size of a deck of cards and opens up to 56" by 84". Manufactured in the U.S. by MPI since 1964 of high-quality polyester materials and vacuum-deposited aluminum for the reflective surface, the Space® blanket has probably assisted in the saving of many lives by providing emergency protection from the elements. Space® blankets are used worldwide in disaster relief and rescues and are FDA-registered medical devices.
Many other brands of space style emergency blankets have been developed and manufactured in addition to the original Space ® blanket and are easily available on the internet.
Next time you pack for a camping trip or check the inventory in your car's first-aid kit - make sure you toss in a handy thermal blanket or two - you always have space for safety!
