thermal blanket

Emergency warmth sheet

A thermal blanket is a covering designed to retain or reflect body heat.

The term applies to ordinary insulating bedding, but more specifically to the thin, metallic emergency blankets used by first responders and hikers—the reflective material traps radiated heat: Paramedics wrapped the accident victim in a thermal blanket.

Spacecraft also use thermal blankets for temperature regulation.
