The ALL WEATHER SPACE BLANKET is a by-product of superinsulating materials originally developed by NASA. It is silver reflective on one side, and blue on the other side. When wrapped around a person with the silver side of the blanket "in," it will reflect and retain over 80% of radiated body heat to keep a person warm and protected, even in sub-zero temperatures. However, our main use for this amazing blanket is to keep heat OUT and away from our harps. To keep your harp cool, use the blanket with the silver side "OUT" to reflect the sunlight back away from the harp.
This is a lightweight, durable, waterproof, soil resistant, and windproof 4-ply laminated blanket that weighs just 10 ounces. It is 56" x 84" when opened and has full edge binding and grommeted corners. It can also be used as a ground cover to protect your harp from dirt and dampness.
Don't Fry Your Harp!
According to the Humane Society, on an 85º day the inside of a parked car, even with the windows partly open, can reach 102º in 10 minutes. In a half hour the temperature can soar to between 120º and 130º and can rise to as much as 180º. Harps are very susceptible to heat damage. Depending on the humidity level and the type of glue used, the wood can crack, and the glue can actually begin to soften at a temperature of about 130º, causing the structure of the harp to distort and the harp to fall apart.
If you love your harp, NEVER leave it in a parked car.
When you are driving with your harp in the back of your station wagon or van, the sunlight pouring through the windows can also damage your harp. We recommend that you cover your harp with our Space Blanket with the SILVER SIDE UP to reflect the sunlight back away from your harp while you are driving.
PLEASE NOTE: The space blanket will help protect your harp from the direct sunlight coming through the windows. However, it will NOT keep your harp cool in a hot parked car.
Don’t even THINK of leaving your harp in a parked car.
