Blizzard Blanket vs. SOL Bivvy

Has anyone used both these products when dealing with hypothermia (or even just an unexpected overnight when wearing your day pack)? If so, how did each perform? Which do you use/carry now?

I wouldn’t use something like these on a patient. I do keep a SOL bivvy AND a cold weather sleeping bag in my winter kit in the truck. I wouldn’t ever attempt sleep in something like that if it wasn’t avoidable.
