    5.0 out of 5 stars excellent mulit use piece for me, November 29, 2009

    This review is from: MPI All Weather Emergency Survival Blanket (Sports)
    I bought this off Cabelas site (for more $) so I may get another one here.
    It has tons of positive reviews there....seems many RV-ers swear by this blanket to reflect summer heat off the roofs of their campers or the giant windows of the motor homes. The durability, the many positive reviews made me want to try it - figured if nothing else, I would use it as a car blanket, etc...

    I have a "one bag" philosophy except for canoe trips where I absolutely know I won't have any portages. That being so, what I take has to do what I expect, hold up, and preferably be multi-use.

    *I've used this on 8-9 trips so far. It's exceeded what I wanted it to do. I really wanted the green, but I got the red for my one piece of gear that could be a signal flag if needed. (Still not warmed up to something so bright in my camp!)
    *I have used this for a pack wrap up under my hammock and rain fly every night out. It keeps everything dry for surprise rain storms, but also... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars I own 3 of these., September 24, 2011
    This review is from: MPI All Weather Emergency Survival Blanket (Sports)
    I've seen several good reviews and a rare bad review. Not sure what the exact problem was with the bad review. I keep one in my truck and two in separate "go bags" for myself and the better half. They are "survival blankets" not comforters. They are meant for emergencies not as snuggle blankets. They are water proof, and way tougher than the silver mylar sheets that shred with minimal use. I've used them as ground cloths to make roadside repairs under my vehicle, ground cloths for picnics, and a reflective tarp on summer hikes, and rain tarps during inclement weather. The hooded ones work in a pinch as emergency ponchos. During a winter camping trip the temperature dropped unexpectedly low. I sandwiched our sleeping bags by laying one out on the floor of our tent with the shiny side up and covered up with the other, shiny side down. We stayed toasty and comfortable all night. Keep the mylar ones in your first aid kits. However, for rugged outdoor activities, these can't be beat! I've... Read more

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Reflective, September 27, 2009

    Towhee (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: MPI All Weather Emergency Survival Blanket (Sports)
    This blanket is light and durable and seems to be well made. The non-reflective side is similar to a tarp, and the reflective side is a textured reflective material. However, it does not reflect heat nearly as much as the usual thin, non-durable space blanket.
