BLIZZARD SURVIVAL JACKET

Blizzard Survival Jacket

The Blizzard Survival Jacket is a unique garment with a tiny packed size. A thigh-length jacket with a hood, made from Reflexcell™ material, it enables the wearer to be protected and re-warmed whilst remaining completely mobile.

It is warm enough for the coldest conditions, and unlike lighter products, does not easily tear or blow away.

Made from Reflexcell™ the Blizzard Survival Bag provides unrivalled thermal qualities and is completely wind and waterproof.

It is perfect for any situation and is a must for outdoor enthusiasts.

Don’t go out without it.

Reflexcell Technology

The idea of Reflexcell™ was conceived 15 years ago when the founder and managing director of Blizzard Survival, Derek Ryden, realized that outdoor enthusiasts and professionals needed something more effective than plastic bivvy bags and lighter than conventional sleeping bags. 

An engineer by profession, and today still an active mountaineer, Derek invented Reflexcell™, a super-lightweight material that provides unprecedented thermal performance in the most demanding conditions. He also designed and built the machinery and production processes that manufacture Reflexcell™ and convert it into Blizzard Survival products.

Now, following exhaustive in-house testing and trials performed by the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, the Blizzard Survival Blanket has been endorsed by the US Army Medical Center Directorate of Combat and Doctrine Development and is the only blanket used to train Army medics in the treatment of hypothermia.

APPLICATIONS

Emergency Services

The Blizzard Survival Jacket is a vital piece of equipment for many situations in which people need to be kept warm, or treated immediately for chilling and hypothermia. It is unique in its combination of light weight and excellent thermal performance, whilst allowing wearers total freedom of movement.

Applications include everything from military deployment, marine and mountain rescue, to civil evacuations and disasters.

Blizzard Survival Jackets are particularly valuable in situations involving 'walking wounded'. They are equally useful for bystanders at accidents, who often become severely chilled whilst everyone’s attention is focussed on the casualty.

Our Jackets are increasingly being chosen as standard equipment by military users, emergency services, civil emergency planners, medical authorities and rescue teams.

Outdoor Sports

Many walkers, climbers, cavers, canoeists, mountain rescue teams, ski mountaineers, adventure racers and others carry the Blizzard Survival Jackets as a safety product in case of accidents or emergencies.

By carrying a few Blizzard Survival Jackets, a group leader can give instant help to individuals at risk of developing Hypothermia, without having to stop the whole group, or disrupt the day’s activities. Rescue teams carry Blizzard Jackets to deal with this eventuality before it makes a bad situation worse.

Motoring & Working Outdoors

The Blizzard Survival Jacket is the ideal personal safety equipment for motorists and workers who may be stranded in remote locations - particularly if they need to retain movement in order to seek help or operate other equipment.
