Customer Review: Useful for more than stated
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
As a prepper, I like to make sure my family is prepared for any natural or man made disaster that may occur, so these space blankets are good to have in each car, in bug out bags, camping gear, etc.. one in my pocket when hunting and so much more..
HOWEVER, the effectiveness of these space blankets is debated, because these mylar blankets also trap in the COLD, so make sure you warm yourself up before covering yourself with this "blanket". These bags are not effective when placing over an already freezing person, unless over a normal blanket, BUT, they are very effective in preventing freezing if you're not already frigid to begin with.
The surface is very reflective, so these mylar blankets are perfect for lining grow rooms for those who start their vegetables and flowers indoors. The benefit is that they reflect light back to the plant so no light is wasted.
These are also good for lining coolers to help keep them even more colder, or even inside of lunchbags/boxes.
These also work great for making reflectors for bouncing light in photography projects.

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: Very Good Quality Thermal Blankets - Highly Recommended
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We ordered two sets of the these Thermal Blankets (for a total of 8) to use keep in our cars and with our camping gear. Since I don't like to just trust that my emergency equipment is going to do what it is supposed to do, so we opened one of them up to test it out. Here are my observations:
+ Thicker than other thermal blankets I have used in the past, so it is somewhat stronger than expected
+ Good sized blanket actually covers me well
+ Reflects heat very well
I couldn't refold it to fit back in the tiny Ziploc package it came in, but it did roll up and fit nicely into a Ziploc sandwich baggie.
These are a good value for good quality emergency equipment!
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: mondo heat reflector
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
i placed this underneath my sheets when I sleep. And it actually reflected my body heat and kept me more than warm. I actually found that I cant sleep with my quilt, but with a lighter blanket !!! While the "crumpling" sound takes getting use too, I found that if you put two sets of sheets on the bed if muffles the "crumpling" sound so much that its barely noticeable.
bottom line, it works.
If I had to use anything but this for warmth in an emergency, I would use it in a heartbeat.
It might also work great as a liner in a light jacket, just make sure you have "vents" I'm sure
it would heat up rather quickly.
Customer Review: Looks good.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It is hard to review this item due to its nature (I will not use it until if there is ever an emergency that would cause me to use/experience it)
However, it looks like a good quality product. It is packaged well, for easy storage and travel. Great size to add to an emergency kit. And for the cost of four blankets, if they work in retaining body heat, they are well worth the 5 stars.
I did receive the QuikKare brand, but that is a non issue regarding my 5 star rating. Do not review a product and give it a rating based on a Vendor's Service (rather than QuikKare's quality).
