How a thermal blanket helps

A thermal blanket doesn’t make heat; it reduces heat loss. The reflective film bounces body heat back towards the casualty, which is why the pack labels it for shock or hypothermia, for example after cold water, wet weather or a long wait for help. Wrap it around the casualty, cover the head while leaving the face clear, and if they are lying on cold ground, put something insulating underneath them as well.

What it does not replace

Hypothermia is a medical emergency, so call 000. healthdirect advises moving the person somewhere warm and dry, removing wet clothing and warming the core gently with blankets, and avoiding direct heat, hot baths and vigorous rubbing. healthdirect also advises lying the person down and keeping movement to a minimum. Keep checking their breathing and response while they are wrapped, and give warm drinks only if they are fully alert. A thermal blanket is one part of that care, not a treatment on its own. Our guide to hypothermia signs, symptoms and first aid explains the steps in full.

Bulk bag or single blanket?

This bag of 100 suits organisations restocking many kits, since each blanket is replaced after use. If you only need one or two for a car, boat or home kit, choose the single emergency blanket instead. Store the bag somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight, and fold a blanket into each kit, vehicle and remote-area pack so it is there when someone needs it.
