Emergency Bivvys, Blankets, Ponchos

Survival Reflective Blanket (ultra small)

Our survival “1 time use” Reflective Blanket is a small, lightweight, super compact solution for your “survival kit” that will  keep you dry and warm in an emergency. The blanket is totally waterproof and weighs in under 2 oz, these blankets use technology originally designed by NASA (hence the “space blanket” nick name) to trap and reflect radiant body heat back towards the body. This reflected body heat can keep the user warm and prevent further body heat loss. This survival blanket is the perfect addition for anyone putting together a survival kit, a 72-hour emergency kit, or a simple first aid kit for the car as the versatility of the blanket allows it to keep you warm in a wide variety of conditions.

PONCHOS

Ultra-light Survival Reflective Poncho

These are the original UST Survival Ponchos with a variety of applications. Designed like a standard poncho with good to cover the head/face and sleeves to allow for mobility while giving protection from the elements. The survival poncho is waterproof and wind resistant so it is ideal for throwing on during harsh weather conditions. Put on the survival poncho to allow for continued mobility and safety through tough situations. The poncho material will use your own body heat to keep you warm in cold temperatures, but is also thin and light enough that it can be used to protect from powerful sun rays in intense heat. The reflective surface provides maximum visibility, great for groups trying to stay together when harsh wind and rain can lower visibility. The large surface area makes the Survival Poncho fit most body type but also allows it to function as an effective emergency signal.

HELPFUL CONSUMER INFORMATION
What is the difference between a “Shelter”, a “Bivy”, and a “Sleeping Bag”?
In short a “Shelter” will protect you from the elements link wind, rain and snow.
A “Bivy” IS a small shelter that also may have some heat retaining abilities (depending on its features) to help keep you warm.
A “Sleeping Bag” is a fabric bag designed to use the “dead air space” in insulation to keep you warm by trapping your own body heat (while allowing your bodies moisture to escape).  Sleeping Bags are NOT designed to protect you from the elements such as wind, snow and rain amd need to be used in conjunction with a shelter or bivvy.
