Some emergency shelters are just that meant to be used once or twice when needed and then never again. The SOL Sport Utility Blanket is a different type of shelter one that can be used as an emergency blanket one day and then as a picnic blanket the next. Use it to haul heavy loads, as a ground tarp underneath a tent, rigged as a shelter, or to cover your gear in foul weather the Sport Utility Blanket will be up to the task. Even with many times the strength of similar multi use blankets and tarps, plus a scorching 95% heat reflectivity rating, the Sport Utility Blanket still weighs in at only 11.3 Ounce.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Initial review - compact, bad odor
I just bought this item and haven't had a chance to use it in the field yet. This is a 5' x 7' (1524mm x 2134mm) plastic tarp/blanket with one metalized side. There are metal grommets at each corner and in the middle of each long edge.
This competes directly with the "All-Weather Space Blanket", which is a well-proven and very useful bit of gear available at about half the price. AMK's version is the same size, but thinner, so that it packs to only about 60% of the volume of the older product. AMK claims that this blanket is more reflective and six times stronger despite its thinness.
I like the reduced bulk, and all else equal, would consider it worth the price premium for many applications. The big negative so far is that the product has an extremely unpleasant "chemical" smell. I have it airing out on my porch. If the smell dissipates, I will test the product in recreational use and revise the review according to how well it performs in the field. If not, this is a...

what i had expected, not what i had hoped
it is an ok tarp, blanket it does what it says but boy does it reak, it smells like a chemical spill. if course it is better than being wet and freezing, but still, if you pick one up, unfold it and let it air out for 2-3 days.. or a week. other than that it is a good product, it is a little thinner than i expected. not sure if id buy again.
