I got mine from the dollar store. It's a multi-purpose item for me.
Folded, it makes a dry, slightly padded sit pad. Laid out flat, you can stretch out next to the fire and not get wet legs or butt.
For freezer bag cooking, I fold it up small and tuck my fb meal inside for a few minutes to rehydrate the meal. It traps the heat well and eliminated carrying a separate cozy just for the fb.
I've used it under the hammock to supplement the uq. Spread it for 3/4 protection, folded and stick it under the legs for a leg pad. And I've used it on top as a quilt too.
Condensation can be an issue with the screen used close to the body. So expect some in the morning. It dries quickly, does not absorb the water. I'll shake any condensation off and hang it to dry from the ridgeline. Usually dry in a few minutes.
The weight and bulk and nearly negligible, its packs down small, and serves many purposes. And who can complain about the price?? $1.00.
A mod I have yet to try is slit a small head hole into the center and wear it as a poncho of sorts. Should add a nice windproof layer for colder temps.
