Emergency Sleeping Bag
A compact heat-reflective sleeping bag that slows heat loss when you must wait, walk or sleep in the cold.
Part of your Kapsel Personal & Shelter capsule.
- Heat-reflective foil that helps your body keep warmth
- Packs ultra small, one recommended per person
- For cold homes, stalled cars and evacuations
Through seven days without power, water or heat, it helps everyone stay warmer while you wait or move to safety.
The emergency sleeping bag is part of the Personal & Shelter capsule, which keeps body heat up when the house turns cold or you have to leave. Warmth carries you through the night, not through the week: water, light and food have to follow.

Frequently asked questions
Why is an emergency sleeping bag in the kit?
People most often get cold in stairwells, cars, shelters or on the way to a meeting point, not deep in the forest. When someone is wet, tired or injured the body loses heat faster, and this thin reflective layer keeps warmth close to the body until you reach a better place or professional help.
How do you use it?
Open the pouch carefully, unfold the bag fully and turn the reflective side towards the body. Cover the person from the shoulders down, tuck the edges under them if you can, and cover the head and neck too. Keep watching the person and add clothes or a blanket on top if needed.
How does it keep you warm?
It is made from aluminium coated PET foil that reflects a large part of your body heat back towards you, while the outside works as a wind and splash barrier. It does not create heat itself, so it works best over dry clothing and together with shelter from wind and rain.
Which capsule does it belong to and how do I keep it ready?
It lives in the Personal & Shelter capsule. Keep it flat packed in its original pouch, stored dry, cool and out of direct sunlight, and always in the same spot. It is a single use item, so do not open it for practice. Keep one per person plus one spare in the household.
