【Disaster Preparedness Item】 Surprisingly Usable in Daily Life!? Check the Size of 3COINS "Multifunctional Aluminum Blanket"

I am using the "Multifunctional Aluminum Blanket" from 3COINS (Three Coins) during park picnics with my dog. I had heard it was useful during disasters, but it turns out to be surprisingly usable in everyday life as well. I checked its size again.

Simple and sturdy, but how is the size?

Lured by the pleasant weather in March, I bought the 3COINS "Multi-functional Aluminum-infused Blanket/SOBANI" to enjoy walks with my dog and picnics in the park. A camping friend had been using it for day camping, so I started using it as well.

It has a simple design in black, and the material seems durable. Since it can be used without worrying about dirt, it is useful not only for picnics where you sit in the park but also for protecting the car seats from my muddy dog after visiting a dog run or covering wet luggage; having just one is quite handy.

While there are various ways to use it, what concerns me about its usability is the size. I decided to check if it can be used properly in case of emergencies.

It's a size that can seat two people, and it seems functional as well.

The official size is 100 × 140 cm. The material has nylon on the front and a polyester backing coated with aluminum. There was no mention of water resistance, but after actually using it, I found that it prevented a certain amount of water droplets.

For minor dirt, it can be wiped off with wet tissues. It has a smooth texture, allowing you to easily shake off grass from the park. You might not worry about such things during an emergency, but it seems convenient for everyday outings.

When you sit down, it looks like this. The size of 100×140cm allows for comfortable seating for two adults. Even in places without chairs, it seems useful to be able to create a spot to settle down. It might also work as a place to put your belongings in a damp area from rain.

Surprisingly, it has good cold resistance and can be used like a blanket.

I tested its cold resistance. On this day, the wind was strong, and just putting on one layer shut out the cold wind and made me feel warm. Depending on height, even an adult man can comfortably cover down to the thighs with its size. Having this one piece can help protect body heat well when you're outside all day or during outdoor evacuations.

There’s less rustling sound than I expected, so I can use it without hesitation even in places where others are around. If used in a shelter, it’s reassuring to be able to protect body temperature quietly during a calm night without making noise.

I used it with light pressure from my hands, but you can also secure it so it doesn’t slip off your shoulders using a hair tie or clip. Since both hands are free, it seems practical for holding pets or moving flexibly according to the situation.

When storing it, brush off any dirt while folding along the creases. The fabric is slightly thick, so it fits snugly in a large pocket. It should be able to fit into a bag with pockets.

Recently, the author has begun to use the "Multifunctional Aluminum Blanket / SOBANI" in daily life. I realize how practical it is for protecting oneself from the cold or taking a short break even during disaster situations. It seems to be becoming an indispensable item, from daily picnics to disaster backpacks.
