## Description

We're Arcturus, an outdoor company from Washington State. We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that's why we developed our line of all weather, survival blankets. It is a must have for hikers, campers and boaters. This lightweight blanket features a strong nylon outer layer coupled with an aluminum reflective layer on the inside. The aluminum side reflects up to 90% of body heat. This blanket comes in its own carry tactical bag and weighs only 1 lb, measuring 5' x 7' when fully deployed. Our extra large survival blanket weighs 3.6 lbs and measures 8.5' x 12' when fully deployed. The aluminum side of the blanket can be used to reflect heat, create a radiant barrier or signal for help. The other side is made of a durable nylon which can be used as a blanket, tarp or shelter when camping, hunting, backpacking and hiking. Keep one in the trunk of your car as part of your survival or emergency kit. All four corners have reinforced grommets that can be staked to the ground or strung up to create an overhead shelter. Dramatically Reduce Your Infrared Signature This arcturus blanket is designed to reflect heat, from which lessens your infrared heat signature, providing camouflage in the IR spectrum. Adding brush or a ghillie blanket on top will further reduce your heat signature without breaking up your profile. EXTRA LARGE SURVIVAL BLANKET NOW AVAILABLE Measuring at 8.5' x 12' when fully deployed, this is the Granddaddy to our standard-size survival blanket with the same legendary quality. Weighing in at 3.6 pounds, the extra large emergency blanket has 10 reinforced grommets for easy tie down when used as a tarp or shelter.
