space blanket
Reflective survival sheet
A space blanket is a thin, lightweight sheet of reflective material, typically metallic-looking plastic, designed to retain body heat in emergencies.
Originally developed for space exploration, these blankets reflect radiated heat back toward the body while blocking wind and moisture.
They're standard equipment in first aid kits, survival gear, and marathon finish lines, where runners wrap up to prevent post-race hypothermia.
