Sports reviews of Emergency Mylar Blanket - 62" x 82" - Pack of 12 Blankets - EB-12Customer Review: An extremely versatile tool Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have used mylar "space" blankets for the past 30 years for near innumerable projects. Want to make a solar oven? here's a tool to allow that. Increase the rating on your sleeping bag by 20 degrees (put the mylar INSIDE the bag), I've made emergency ponchos from them while backpacking. Ground cloths, signal devices, sun awnings (in this mode they help provide cooling), insulation for coolers, animal shelters, a lining for an incubator.
They don't have to wait around in your car or "read bag" to find uses! However, I carry them in each vehicle, I have one in each of my various (depending on purpose) "ready bags", in emergency kits made for the kids and in all the first aid kits in the house, vehicles, the ranch and other such haunts.
This little piece of plastic may well be one of the premier tools of all time.
Customer Review: great window covers Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought these to cover the windows on an enclosed south facing porch during the summer. I cut them to size and applied with packing tape around the frames. They definitely lower the temp in that room, although it still gets very warm in there at least now it's tolerable. They do block a bit of the sunlight, I'd say around 25% lower light in the room but it's worth it. These are strong and won't tear until you cut them, then they tear very easily once even a tiny cut is started. I'll also be stashing some of these in the car and my backpack. They're extremely compact and lightweight and economical. Each comes in its own little ziploc bag and you could easily fit two or three of them in the back pocket of your jeans.
Customer Review: Great price for Versatile Mylar Foil Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
You can use these reflective mylar foil sheets for dozens of applications - and with 12 huge sheets you'll have plenty left over even after tossing 2 in each of your cars!
Mylar is strong, light and (this metalized type) is highly reflective, both of light and thermal energy. Normally this stuff costs quite a bit, especially if you buy it packaged for some of its other common uses. Mylar does come in several thicknesses and these blankets are cut from one of the thinner types (< 1mm). At this thickness even the metalized mylar is partially transparent, so be aware of this if you plan to use it to block windows or something (you might have to double up).
Customer Review: Excellent Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Exactly as advertized 62"X82" That other reviewer must have got the wrong ones. I ordered 12 from big fly and other then slow delivery by the post office. I'm very happy with what I got. They are made in China, Foil mylar rescue blankets, item # CB-6831, each one is wrap in plastic. For $11.50 a doz. I keep some in the truck, some in the fishing box, some in my hunting coats. Never had to really use one yet, so I can't attest to how well they really work, but if they only just kept the rain off you if you were lost, that alone would be worth the money.
Customer Review: Good Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have not used these yet, but the purpose of my review is simply to let everyone know that these are the real deal. Many complain when purchasing Mylar Blankets that they did not receive the ones pictured and described on Amazon. From this seller you get the blankets that are pictured and described here.
They come individually wrapped, and don't take up much space in your first-aid kit. If you don't have some yet, get some. You'll be glad you did.
