treeseed commented on the word space blanket
A space blanket is a blanket designed to be used in emergency situations to reduce heat loss from a person's body. The blanket consists of a thin sheet of plastic material (often PET film) that is coated with a metallic reflecting agent, usually gold or silver in color, which reflects about 80% of the wearer's radiated body heat back to him or her.
