SOL Waterproof Emergency Blanket XL

So glad I was able to find this on Walmart.com... I usually have to go to REI or Bass Pro to get this. This is the best Emergency Blanket on the market by far!

I think everyone that drives a vehicle should all ways carry this emergency blanket you ever know what could happen during the winter month.

SOL products are excellent. This Survival Blanket is the 2 person size, just right for hanging under my camping hammock as an underquilt. It actually reflects the body heat back to me. Works well.

small package but huge use for emergencies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blanket should last me a long time. I plan on using it in shelter building in the woods, or lining the bottom of the inside of my tent on colder nights. It is well made. The grommets look sturdy enough to be well used judiciously. And the color usefulness of each side is about as good as it gets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blanket arrived in a compact little pouch, but opens up to an ample 58" x 98", (roughly 5' x 8'). The compact pouch, (plastic storage bag) is fine when the blanket is new but, in reality, needs to be a little larger for practical use for storage once opened. This blanket is large enough to comfortably wrap around one person or act as a blanket for two. The blanket does all the things one expects from a survival blanket such as being waterproof and wind proof and doubling as a rescue aid by having one side coated highly visible "international orange" while the other side is bright silver acting both as a heat reflective surface and also being suitable for use as a "signaling mirror". The blanket is made from a "Mylar" type material which is extremely lightweight (3.2oz). The material appears durable but will stretch and deform if pulled. However, unlike some of the more traditional "survival blankets" this one is very quiet and It does not have that loud "crinkle" usually associated with them when in use. In conclusion, this blanket will serve very well for its intended purpose as an emergency blanket for you car, boat or outdoor pack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have one of these in each of our household cars. In the event, I am ever in a scary situation, these emergency blankets are a part of first aid survival kits I keep in the vehicles. I use these alongside water, reflectors, and a backup battery charger as my top 3 go-to's. I have an assortment of other things but these are the priorities. I live in a dry and warm climate but a short drive takes me into the mountains and a lot can happen in a small amount of time. Thankfully, I have never had to use this blanket in an emergency, however, it did its job during a camping trip where we had some misplaced items and cold campers. This easily fits two average-sized adults with enough heat to stay warm in pretty cold situations. In the event of an emergency, these are good for rendering aid to injured persons and animals. They will keep your body temperature at a safe value until help or shelter are administered. I really cannot recommend these enough to anyone. Don't leave home without it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Really works. Not really 2 person sized unless your really small but big and roomy for 1.

Wrapped up in one while cooking on the grill. Around 50 degrees. Didn't make a lot of noise, was flexible and reflected body heat. Only 4 stars because it really wasn't that cold out. Seems to work as advertised. Put one in each vehicle and plan on making an underquilt for my hammock.

I bought this blanket for supplemental heat during the colds nights camping on a cross-country motorcycle road trip. I tried using it in a variety of ways: wrapped directly around my body, wrapped around the outside of my sleeping bag, even wrapped around the outside of my hammock. Positioning made very little difference, as the blanket didn't reflect much of my body heat at all. The blanket is very large and the material is tougher and more flexible than other similar products, but its performance is pretty poor. I bought a Coghlan's blanket mid-trip for a third the price and though the material tore very easily, it was MUCH warmer than the SOL blanket.
