Blizzard Survivial

Ultimate lightweight thermal protection

Blizzard survival products provide the ultimate lightweight thermal protection and the management of hypothermia in any environment.

Blizzard HQ is located on the edge of picturesque Snowdonia, North Wales. We offer a range of high-quality Passive Warming Systems using our unique material, Reflexcell™, which uses a reflective air pocket construction to create the most powerful insulating blanket material on the market, weight for weight.

Our Origins

Established in 2000, the Blizzard team initially offered hypothermia management solutions in climbing, mountaineering, and outdoor sports markets. However, the company’s growth in the early 2000s coincided with a cultural shift that saw hypothermia taken seriously as a significant complicating factor in trauma. As a result, the products were quickly recognized as a serious aid for managing hypothermia in the field of pre-hospital trauma care.

Collaboration with Persys Medical Group

Collaboration with Persys Medical Group helped to produce a more rounded offering of products specific to emergency trauma care, including The Israeli Bandage®, the BIG, and NIO-Next Generation IO™ Intraosseous Vascular Access device, and 4BC “Stop The Bleed” kits.

By offering a wide choice of unique products, Blizzard fulfills and satisfies customers’ needs with an unrivaled range of thermal protective products now distributed throughout the world in the Military, EMS, and Mountain Rescue, as well as less expected markets such as Veterinary Surgery.

Blizzard products represent a quantum leap in treating civilian and military trauma cases, with the unique Reflexcell™ material being incorporated into medical, emergency preparedness, and outdoor applications globally. Led by a team of R&D engineers, Blizzard consistently develops technology to ensure the products are the best on the market for hypothermia management.

The company’s location allows access to a mountainous region that offers truly challenging weather conditions and is an invaluable proving ground for Blizzard products.

The Ultimate in Lightweight Thermal Protection

Blizzard’s Reflexcell™ material has become the new standard wherever thermal performance in a lightweight, compact package is essential – for military use, casualty care, emergency preparedness, disaster relief, personal survival, outdoor activities, and more.

With the right technology, every case of hypothermia is treatable.

Why Reflexcell™? Because one layer won’t do. Standard EMS blankets have only one layer and are not designed to retain heat; they merely slow heat loss and provide minimal heat retention. Therefore, multiple blankets are often required to treat one patient. Reflexcell™ technology allows “one wrap” for total warmth and delivers the most effective warmth retention on the market. At the same weight and volume, Reflexcell™ is 400% warmer than synthetic material blankets and 150% warmer than down-insulated garments and bags.

Advanced technology to regulate core body temperature.

Other blankets do not match the warmth-retention properties of Reflexcell™. This technology was initially designed to withstand blizzard conditions, but traumatic hypothermia can be an issue even in high ambient air temperatures. Therefore, Blizzard products are the most effective and direct route for patient stabilization and the treatment of hypothermia caused by environmental exposure, traumatic injury causing blood loss, and other conditions affecting the body’s ability to regulate its core temperature.
