Fire & Warmth

Emergency Foil Blanket, Individually Sealed

Single foil space blanket that fits in a coat pocket for pennies
£0.99 + £10.00 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 2-4 working days. Tracked.

A single metallised foil blanket in a sealed pack. Wrapped around the body it reflects heat back and reduces the wind chill, which helps in a breakdown, a long wait outdoors or a cold house during a power cut.

It is the cheapest warmth you can add to a kit and it folds small enough for a pocket. It is single-use in practice, because it tears and rustles, and it is not a replacement for proper clothing or medical care.

Key features

  • Reflects body heat
  • Wind and water resistant
  • Folds tiny
  • Individually sealed
  • Good for car, pocket or grab bag
  • Extremely low cost

How to use it

You wrap the foil blanket around your body, shiny side towards you, to reflect heat back and cut wind chill.

  1. Tear open the sealed pack carefully from the notch or edge.
  2. Unfold the blanket slowly, as the foil tears easily.
  3. Wrap it around the person with the shiny side facing the body, over clothes where possible.
  4. Overlap the edges and tuck them under your arms and feet to hold in heat.
  5. Secure it with tape or by holding it closed, and keep the face clear for breathing.
  6. If wet or cold, add dry layers under it and keep out of the wind and off cold ground.
Tips
  • It also works as a ground cover or windbreak, but you will need to hold it down.
  • Treat it as single use in practice, because it tears and rustles.
  • It adds warmth but does not replace proper clothing.
Safety and limits
  • It is not a substitute for medical care. Get help for anyone who is very cold, confused or drowsy.
  • Do not cover the face or mouth, and keep it away from open flame.
Please note
  • Not a substitute for medical care for hypothermia; call emergency services
  • Keep away from naked flames
  • Tears easily; handle gently
