LYN Heavy Duty Survival Blanket-Emergency Insulation Blanket, Extra Large Thermal Tarp Reflective Survival, All-Weather, Water Proof, 95% Heat Retention, Tear Resistant Reusable NASA First Aid Kit

Great to use in the summer when camping! We use the shiny side up to keep the tent cool and from us waking up in the morning in sweat!

Product was as described.

This is a thick hefty tarp. It is more of a plastic material on both sides instead of one side being a nylon fabric like some of my lighter weight alternatives. I use it as a floor in the garage section of my ultralight bike/backpacking tent so we have a dry living space in inclement weather. It also withstands dragging the bikes inside when it pours. We climb all over it and sort through gear without having to adjust it. It is pretty rigid, but folds or rolls up well. It is a bit heavy for backpacking at just over 14oz. and the stakes are overkill for that purpose, they are 9" long and about an ounce a piece (3.85oz. for all four) so we use our own for a shelter, but find them unnecessary for laying it on the ground. It folds to 18x11.5x½" and rolls to the size of the large 48oz Nalgene bottle. It is semi-ridged enough to use as light support in a frameless pack. This is a durable multi-use option for weekend trips or a quick ridge line shelter in a thunderstorm on a bike trail, but much too heavy for a long distance or thru hike. It also is a lightweight option as additional warmth for two with your sleep system if you and a parter take one down quilt and pads. Like any thermal reflective tarp it can create condensation if you have it over your head or sleep warm. Overall this is a good heavy duty option for multiple uses if you are willing to carry the weight or car camping.

used as a cover for my tent in the rain. worked well.

This carpet is made of two different materials. One side can reflect light and the other side is made of waterproof rubber material, which is convenient to use. It can also be hung with a rope to prevent sun protection and rain
