Insulated Blankets vs. Heated Blankets
When the temperature drops and a chill creeps in, reaching for a blanket is an instinctual response. There are many types of blankets to choose from - from simple fleece blankets to insulated blankets, thermal blankets, and even electric heated blankets or blanket alternatives like The Mozy Thermal Wearable Wrap. Let's take a look at some of the differences between them:
Insulated Blankets vs. Thermal Blankets
vs. Heated Blankets
Mozy's Design and Material
Insulated Blankets
Insulated blankets use layers of specific materials like polyester or synthetic fibers that trap heat and prevent cold air from penetrating. These blankets are lightweight, portable, and often used in outdoor situations. While they are designed to reduce the loss of body heat, they have one major flaw -- wind or breeze convectively steals the heat away from your body. You have to hold the blanket tightly around yourself with both hands to even partially prevent heat loss.
Thermal Blankets
Thermal blankets are similar to insulated blankets in that they aim to conserve heat but they typically use reflective materials. These blankets, sometimes referred to as "space blankets," have a metalized film that reflects up to 90% of your body heat. They’re incredibly effective for emergency kits and survival situations. A thermal blanket is that shiny, crinkly blanket you'd see astronauts or marathon runners wrap around themselves for immediate warmth but with no conductive heat loss protection (as soon as you sit down on a cold aluminum bench) you feel immediately cold. Not practical for sitting. And offers no protection against natural convective heat loss (air moving against the body).
Heated Blankets
Heated blankets take warmth to another level by incorporating electric heating elements. These are typically battery powered and have a very short active heating duration. The blankets also become heavy with the addition of batteries and have the potential to catch fire. Heated blankets also expose the body to dangerous EMFs.
The Mozy Wearable Thermal Wrap
The creators of the Mozy were frustrated with the lack of versatility of modern blankets. Unable to stay warm at his kids' outdoor games and constantly sitting then standing to cheer, the founder used his thermodynamic and heat transfer engineering background to develop a solution. The wearable thermal wrap, Mozy, uses patented warmth technology to keep you over 500% warmer than a stadium blanket.
Why Mozy Is Different
Over 500% Warmer
Engineering heat loss tests proved that Mozy is over 500% warmer than a standard stadium or camping blanket. This is a game-changer for people who feel cold all the time.
No Batteries, No External Heat Sources
Tired of dealing with chargers, batteries, or bulky layers to stay warm? Mozy eliminates all those hassles by sealing in your body’s own heat using the laws of thermodynamics.
Easy To Use
One of the standout features of the Mozy Wearable Thermal Wrap is its user-friendliness. Just wrap it around your waist and secure it with its easy on/off hook & loop (Velcro-style) closure. No fuss, no muss.
Fast-Acting
Imagine experiencing five times the warmth of a stadium blanket in under 30 seconds. Yes, Mozy works that quickly to get you warm and toasty.
Completely Safe
Since Mozy uses no external power sources, you can stay warm without worrying about any potential risks associated with electric blankets.
The Science Behind Mozy’s Warmth
The Mozy's patented thermodynamic design is its secret sauce. By preventing convective heat loss, Mozy seals in your body’s warmth efficiently. Convective heat loss occurs when cold air molecules replace the warm air molecules close to your skin, making you feel cold. Mozy’s unique design rallies against this process by blocking cold air molecules from replacing the warm air at the skin’s surface.
Warm, Dry, & Comfy
Constructed with a durable nylon exterior and a cozy fleece lining, Mozy strikes the perfect balance between weather resistance and comfort. Rain, wind, or snow—Mozy’s weatherproof exterior ensures you stay dry and warm. Its adaptability makes it perfect for various outdoor activities, be it camping, sporting events, or just attending an outdoor social event.
Hands-Free and Adjustable Warmth
Mozy isn’t just wearable; it stays securely in place whether you’re moving or sitting still. Its warmth is also fully adjustable to suit changing temperatures. Wearing Mozy feels like having a cozy cocoon that you can adjust as you need.
Heat Loss Explained
Heat loss tests have shown that Mozy retains at least five times more heat compared to a typical stadium blanket. The design specifically aims to minimize convective heat loss, making it exceptionally effective in cold environments.
The Mozy Wrap is Your New Cold-Weather Essential
When cold weather is your foe, The Mozy Wearable Thermal Wrap emerges as the hero you didn’t know you needed. It’s easy to use, scientifically proven to be effective, and eliminates the need for electrical sources or bulky layers. Whether you’re braving the outdoor elements or just need a reliable warmth solution, Mozy wraps you up in comfort and warmth like no other.
So next time you’re reaching for a blanket, think about what you really need: quick and reliable warmth without the hassle. That’s Mozy for you.
