The purpose of Protect U is to help ordinary people better deal with extreme events. It has various functions—including a life-saving blanket, buoyancy assistance, and a sleeping bag—that will meet the basic needs of refugees during their migration.
With a simple operation, it can be quickly expanded into a sleeping bag. As a life blanket, the aluminium film reflects back the heat radiation emitted by the human body, with a heat reflection efficiency of up to 90%. As a buoyancy aid, internally filled buoyancy sponge provides approximately 90N buoyancy in the water. Protect U will assist people and improve their chances of survival when necessary.
