Shadow is a multifunctional lifesaving blanket designed to help people displaced by conflict, climate events and other emergencies. Shadow combines three functions: a buoyancy aid, a warming blanket and a simple sleeping bag. A buoyancy sponge inside the product provides about 90 newtons of support in water, and a waterproof inner layer keeps important documents dry. An aluminium film lining reflects body heat to retain warmth. High-frequency heat sealing makes the product strong and watertight. Elastic bands allow quick folding for carrying and fast unfolding when needed.
