The purpose of the blanket is to control the rate of heat loss. Our bodies work best within a certain narrow temperature range. Humans are native to the tropics, and only in the tropics does the temperature remain within that comfort range for a naked human all year long.

They are usually used when a person goes to sleep or is otherwise at rest. They trap radiant bodily heat that otherwise would be lost through convection, helping to keep the skeleton warm.
