I had ordered some more Celox from http://www.bydezignproducts.com/
and they had a Blizzard Survival Blanket on the site so I ordered one to see if it was any good. It had been approved by the military and had a NSN 6532-01-524-6932 with it. When I got it, it came in a vacuum sealed bag and was the size of a VCR tape.This was all good indeed, a little big but doable. I then wanted to inspect it to see if it was worth all the hype. I very carefully opened the vacuum sealed bag and gently unfolded it. I was extremely disappointed with it, it's extremely fragile, very noisy and rips extremely easy. It had 3 ripped holes when I opened it and I oppened it up very gently. I understand they go with thinner materials for space and weight but they should be selling these for a dollar and one time use. It didn't keep me even a little bit warm outside in 40 degree weather (for testing). It is very loud and rips internally extremely easy and for the size and weight and functionality I prefer a military poncho any day. This piece of garbage is now in my vehicle truck as something. I guess I can use it as a big signal since it's silver and as a blanket if I have nothing else. All in all I say save your money and get a military poncho or fleece or something but not this piece of garbage.
