I had seen these before but never really took them serious but now that I'm not so young anymore and have experienced suffering in the cold a few times without proper clothing or blanket so I figured as cheap as these are I'd keep a few in my cars, but first I wanted to try one to see if this tiny lightweight mylar film would do anything at all or if it was just a waste of time, so on a chilly night in october before the heat was turned on in my house I was uncomfortably cold under one plush blanket, had that biting cold nagging at me, so I remoed the nice thick plush blanket and wrapped this tiny mylar film around me and waited a few mins and that bitting cold feeling was soon gone, completely gone. It not only kept in more warmth than a soft commercial blanket but also appears to be an excellent tool for protecting from wind and rain. I imagine if you cut a hole in the middle you could wear it like a poncho and even wrap one around you under that if you have to walk in the rain or snow. Some duct tape would be a good idea too. Considering they are dirt cheap I think anyone would be a fool not to keep a few of these handy always and next time I go to the city in the winter I'll have a pocket full in case I see a homeless person as it could save a life. I'll also be using one on my own bed in the really cold winter nights. Ratings: Recommended: Yes Good Value: Yes, obviously Good Quality: No, I didn't want to give a 100% perfect review and to be honest the mylar coating is weak on the creases and it does tear easy, but since it's sold as disposable you can't really complain about that. I'd say the quality is good enough, but certainly not great but I only had two options. They are also very noisy, even without wind or movement they constantly make crackling noises. Summary: If you don't have any of these in your car you are insane, seriously.Read full review

We've purchased these for a street rescue mission and for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes, as well as for our own emergency packs. We think they are a great value and will be an asset to people in need.
