Taking things too far with these light-weight thermal blankets is okay. If you think this is more suitable for a doomsday prep kit. You are wrong because come the chilling ice and snow that should be part of winter car essentials. Doomsday may not come, but this comes in handy too. Including this affordable way to ward off cold. It even comes in a set of packs that are best for a family of four!

There is little chance of freezing to death in a car. Except, if the battery has gone dead. Got your EV stuck in the cold, or conventional car that cannot be dug out! It is not a deathly situation, but this item will give comfort from the cold. After an hour or two, a car battery is good. But, cold discharges even a conventional car fast! More so if the car is an EV that has gone below 20% operational charge. Still not convinced? More information about why these thermal blankets will be invaluable.

Magic is not what it is, but hardcore science applied in a cheap and affordable emergency device. Attaching aluminum applied by vaporizing into a lightweight plastic layer. Thin and light, which are flexible that keeps the skin warm, when in contact! So, it traps heat effectively in a very portable and light emergency blanket. It works that way keeping the body warm despite such thinness. Storing more than one is good for winter car essentials.

Compared to other materials used for other thermal blankets. This is crazy lightweight and thin for easy storage! Some might call it BoPET or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate made by NASA for space use. It looks so similar to tinfoil!
