Generous emergency bag
I'm 6' and ~250lbs (not a small person) and I fit in this bag with comfortable room to spare. Standing up is easily covers my shoulders and if I crouch a little (or bend my knees a little while laying down) I can cover my head.I went outside in ~35F, very windy and raining weather wearing jeans and a t-shirt and was fairly comfortable, though you do need to insulate yourself from the ground in something like this if you are planning to lay down.It seems reasonably durable, and would probably last a couple nights if you were very careful to avoid anything sharp. Definitely sturdier than the mylar bags at a cost of just a little more bulk. I would recommend including duct/packing tape in your emergency kit for potential tears.I'm assuming if you spent hours inside of it you will end up wet from condensation build up, as it's essentially a plastic bag, but I was not in it for that long.Under idea circumstances (indoors with clean wood floor) I was able to roll it back up and get it back into it's little bag with out trouble. I think you could manage it outdoors, but i did not attempt it.Overall a BIG upgrade to the little mylar emergency blankets.

Great for Survival!
I bought this for my survival kit for when I take wilderness big game hunts. I have always assumed the guide had everything. After I got home this last trip, I began assembling a survival kit. Among other gear, I researched compact emergency sleeping bags that do the job and don't take up a lot of space in your pack. This fit the bill and met my requirements. Do yourself a favor, do not put your life in the hands of a guide assuming he has the necessary equipment to keep you alive. Chances are that he doesn't. My last guide did not have a sat phone or a personal locator device ( I'll have a PLD on my next trip). He had an atv accident that broke a few ribs and banged him up , but we made it back to his truck. A grizzly had visited the fringe of our camp just an hour earlier. We were hunting around a remote lake and I learned that he had virtually no safety equipment for an emergency. I haven't tried this yet, and I hope that I never have to, but I do want to return home vertical instead of horizontal. I'll carry a well equiped survival kit from here on out and this life bivy will be in it! Good luck and safe hunting.

Little Lifesaver
I didn't quite have the means to test this out in the great outdoors like was probably intended of this product, but I was still able to give this a go in the cold desert air late at night. The wind was going strong (as was windchill), and the ground offered little to no respite from that same bone-piercing iciness. I was reasonably skeptical of this little thing being able to provide much heat at all, but when I got it unfolded and crawled inside, I was very convinced. It was a little on the smaller side for a person like myself, but you gotta make do in an emergency, right?It insulated me from both the ground and the outside air very effectively, and I could absolutely see myself being able to use this in a non-simulated life-or-death scenario. That may just be my overactive imagination, though. Besides that, the product worked fantastically and as advertised. I'm only knocking off points for the slightly smaller size and the way it *feels* on the flimsier side. I was worried I'd kick a hole right through it with a little bit of effort while I'm sleeping.

Compact and lightweight
Perfect gift for the avid hiker. It’s about the size of my hand and super lightweight. Purchased for Father’s Day for a hike coming up this summer.

Like a hevy duty plasic bag, But in an emergancy it will do the job
While I was a bit surprised of how light it was, it seems durable enough. If you do take it out and open it. Be prepared to need at least 2 People and some time to fold it back up and roll it to put it away again. Its a lot heaver plastic then the standard "Space Blanket". The orange color makes it highly visible. The thing to remember, as the name says, this is for an emergency, and not meant for camping. Keeping it in a Bug out bag in your car seems like an ideal place. It will keep the wetness away, but I have some concerns about how damp you may get inside from simple perspiration. The corners are cut open on the end. but I think this is more to prevent bag from trapping air in it then for any sort of ventilation. And if your already wet when you get in, you will probably remain so. For the price, its a good insurance policy.
