those gold/silver emergency blankets: do they really work, and how?

If this is the same science used by Columbia is their vests/coats then I can attest that it works. Bought one last year with the “silver” inside and it’s on of the warmest things I wear in the winter

Haven’t seen it mentioned yet but they need to be reasonably tightly wrapped around someone to prevent heat being lost by conduction to the air moving around you. When you see footage of someone with a silver blanket just draped over their shoulders, it’s not doing much

I’m no specialist in this area but I do know they work quite well. They are very reflective and most body heat emitted by the person inside is reflected back to themself, keeping them warm.

I never understood how well they work until I needed one. I ran a tough mudder race in late autumn/early winter, it was VERY cold. Got given one of these blankets after I finished and whilst I wasn’t warm, I was no longer freezing
