How long do the emergency blankets last?

Our silver emergency space blankets are intended to be disposable, but many people use them repeatedly. How long they last depends on how you're using them.

Under normal usage situations, for staying warm while camping or for use during disaster training exercises, the blankets will last for many outings. Many CERT training programs have been using their blankets for months and homeless persons, whom we've donated blankets to for years, say they last for a whole season.

While they can last a good while and are re-usable, folding them to fit back into their original zippered bag is a skill to be practiced, but perhaps never mastered! We suggest a sandwich sized Ziploc bag for storage once the blanket has been used.
