How does it work?<
Reflexcell, the base material for Blizzards unique products, has major advantages over existing materials and is revolutionizing emergency thermal protection.
Reflexcell utilizes cellular construction to trap warm air. Its elasticity draws the material to the body and reduces cold spaces and heat loss by convection. Its silvered surfaces block heat loss by radiation. It is also completely waterproof and windproof.
Reflexcells greatest strength is that it can be compressed into the tiniest of packages and stored indefinitely without damaging its performance.
