FAQs
How does the foil blanket work?

What is the size of the blanket?
Each blanket measures 130 x 210cm, providing ample coverage for an adult.
Can I reuse this blanket?
No, this is a disposable product designed for single-use emergency situations. Reuse is not recommended for hygiene and effectiveness reasons.
What is the primary purpose of this blanket?
Its primary purpose is to help prevent or treat hypothermia by retaining body heat in emergency or extreme temperature situations.

Who should carry these blankets?

Does it protect from wind and rain?
While it retains body heat, it does not offer significant protection against wind or rain. It is best used in conjunction with other protective layers or shelter.
Troubleshooting
Blanket not reflecting heat effectively
Ensure the reflective side is facing inward towards the body. Check that the blanket is fully covering the individual and not allowing significant heat to escape.
Blanket tears easily
Handle the blanket with care. While durable for its purpose, it is a thin material and can be susceptible to tears if pulled or snagged aggressively.
Difficulty unfolding in cold conditions
Store the blanket in a place where it is protected from extreme cold before use. If it feels brittle, allow it to warm slightly before unfolding.
