Adventure Ready Brands SOL SOL Emergency Blanket

You wouldn't be caught dead wearing Adventure Medical's SOL Emergency Blanket ... by which we mean this emergency shelter features a metallic fabric that reflects up to 90 percent of your body heat back to you. It could keep you just warm enough if you find yourself trapped out of doors unexpectedly in dropping temperatures. And while emergency blankets aren't a panacea against freezing cold, they can be tied up for an improvised shelter, to signal rescue teams, and, when used correctly, help rescue a hypothermia victim. Also, this blanket is insanely lightweight and affordable, so while it will never replace your -40 degree sleeping bag, there's really no excuse not to carry one in your pack.

• A lightweight blanket for emergency warmth in the sudden cold
• Reflective material is highly adept at trapping body heat
• Packs down small for a barely-there presence in your bag
