Stay warm, stay visible, and stay prepared with the Survive Outdoors Longer (SOL) Emergency Blanket—a premium, field-ready emergency blanket designed for real survival scenarios where a flimsy “crinkle-mylar” sheet just won’t cut it. The SOL Emergency Blanket (01401222) is made from tear-resistant, vacuum-metalized polyethylene and engineered to reflect 90% of your body heat back toward you to help prevent dangerous heat loss. It’s also waterproof and windproof, making it a compact but powerful layer of protection for hiking, hunting, roadside emergencies, disaster kits, and everyday carry preparedness.

With a high-visibility orange exterior, this blanket doesn’t just help you survive—it helps you get found. In low-visibility conditions, dense terrain, or stormy weather, that bright orange color can make a critical difference for rescue and signaling. Red Cross
Built for Warmth When It Matters Most
When hypothermia risk climbs, retaining body heat becomes priority #1. SOL designed this blanket to reflect up to 90% of radiated body heat, providing life-saving warmth in cold, wet, or windy conditions. Unlike bargain emergency sheets that tear the moment they snag on a boot, branch, or rock, SOL uses a tougher construction that holds up under real use. Survive Outdoors Longer+1
Why vacuum-metalized polyethylene beats basic mylar
Many emergency blankets are thin mylar that can shred or puncture easily. SOL’s vacuum-metalized polyethylene is designed to be tear-resistant and won’t shred if nicked or punctured, giving you a blanket you can actually rely on in the field. Some listings even note that rips and tears can be repaired, a huge advantage when you’re depending on one piece of gear for protection. Red Cross+1
Waterproof + Windproof Protection for Harsh Conditions
Cold doesn’t always come from temperature alone—wind and moisture accelerate heat loss dramatically. The SOL Emergency Blanket is waterproof and windproof, helping block the elements whether you’re sheltering during a storm, waiting for help after a breakdown, or adding a barrier under/over your sleeping system.

And because it’s designed to be quiet and not crinkle in high winds, it’s far more comfortable (and less irritating) to use than noisy emergency sheets—especially during long waits or overnight sheltering. Red Cross+1
High-Visibility Orange for Rescue, Signaling, and Safety
In an emergency, visibility can be as important as warmth. The bright orange exterior is intended to stand out across terrain types, helping rescuers spot you more quickly and helping your group keep track of one another in poor light or dense cover. Red Cross+1
Multipurpose Use: More Than Just a “Blanket”
A great emergency blanket should do more than wrap around your shoulders. SOL highlights this blanket as a multipurpose tool that can be used as a tarp, sleeping bag layer, or general protective cover for gear and shelter setups. Whether you’re lining a makeshift lean-to, blocking wind on one side of a bivy, or adding a barrier beneath you to reduce conductive heat loss, its versatility is a major advantage for survival kits.

Practical Size for Real-World Use
Many retailers list the SOL Emergency Blanket at approximately 56" x 84", giving you enough material to wrap an adult, create an overhead windbreak, or add a meaningful heat-reflective layer to a shelter system. BOSQUE Outdoors
