These are very good if used with sleeping bags. Keep moisture and wind out, prevent hypothermia, and also add a lot of extra warmth but only if used in conjunction with normal sleeping bags or blankets. Not great alone, IMHO. http://www.mcrmedical.com/category/emergency-sleeping-bags.html  $25/10 $113/50
