FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Emergency Blanket?

Its primary purpose is to help retain body heat in emergency situations, providing crucial insulation against cold and wind to prevent hypothermia.

Can this blanket be used in heavy rain?

The blanket is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it can protect against light showers. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy or continuous rainfall.

How large is the blanket?

The blanket measures 132 x 213cm (52 x 84 inches), providing generous coverage for an adult.

Is the blanket reusable?

While it can be carefully refolded and stored, repeated use may compromise its integrity. It is best considered for single emergency use, though it can be reused for practice or minor warmth needs if handled gently.

What material is the blanket made from?

The blanket is made from 100% Aluminium.

How should I clean the emergency blanket?

You can wipe the blanket with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents and do not machine wash or dry it.

Can I use this blanket for camping?

It is primarily designed for emergency situations. While it can offer some warmth, it is not a substitute for a proper sleeping bag or tent for extended camping trips.

How much does the blanket weigh?

The blanket is described as 'lightweight and compact', making it easy to carry without adding significant bulk or weight to your gear.

Troubleshooting

Blanket feels cold to the touch initially.

The emergency blanket's primary function is to reflect body heat. It will feel cool until it is wrapped around your body and begins to trap your warmth.

Blanket tears easily.

Handle the blanket with care. While durable for its purpose, the aluminium material can be susceptible to tears if pulled or snagged forcefully. Avoid contact with sharp objects.

Not effective in very cold conditions.

This blanket is designed to retain existing body heat. For extreme cold, it should be used in conjunction with other insulating layers and active measures to generate heat. It is not a standalone insulator.
