Compact emergency warmth

The BCB Foil Survival Blanket is a pocket-sized emergency blanket developed for military use. Made from metallised polyester film, it reflects up to around 90% of radiant body heat to help treat or stave off hypothermia in the field.

Olive one side, silver the other

One face is subdued olive green for concealment while the reverse is highly reflective silver foil. That reflective side also doubles as a signalling aid for search and rescue when you need to be seen.

Weatherproof shelter

The blanket is waterproof and windproof, giving quick emergency shelter from wind and rain. It measures roughly 202 by 132cm yet folds down to pocket size and weighs only about 50 to 60g, so it earns its place in any kit.

A first aid essential

Carry one in your pack, car and range bag ready for cold or wet conditions. It weighs next to nothing yet could make a real difference in an emergency. Browse more outdoor and survival gear at Platoon Stores.

Frequently asked questions

How does the foil blanket keep you warm?

The metallised polyester film reflects up to around 90% of your radiant body heat back towards you, which helps treat or prevent hypothermia in cold or wet conditions.

Which side goes out?

It has a subdued olive green side for concealment and a highly reflective silver side. The silver side reflects heat back to the body and can also be used to signal for help.

Is it waterproof and windproof?

Yes. The blanket is both waterproof and windproof, so it gives quick emergency shelter from wind and rain as well as reflecting body heat.

How big and heavy is it?

It opens out to roughly 202 by 132cm but folds down to pocket size and weighs only about 50 to 60g, so it packs easily into any kit, car or range bag.

Can it be reused?

It can be reused if it has not been torn or heavily creased, though in first aid situations these blankets are often treated as a low-cost expendable item.
