Quick extra protection in emergency situations. Wear the Survival Thermal Poncho over your clothing when you unexpectedly cool down or have to stand still for a long time. You will especially notice the extra shelter after an injury, while waiting for help, or during sudden weather changes.
Handy when you want to stay mobile. The poncho shape leaves the arms and lower body freer than a closed bivouac sack, making it more practical if you still need to walk or take action. The reflective layer helps limit heat loss and partially keeps out wind and moisture.
Choose it as a compact safety layer. For trail runs, hikes, and ultras, it is primarily intended as an emergency backup in your vest or backpack, not as a piece of clothing that you wear for hours on end.
Choose quick emergency protection. Not as a replacement for a real raincoat or sleeping bag.
