Egg, dont ever rely on gimmicks, as you stated this was a wear once wonder, i would gladly swap my bushcraft skills and a firesteel for anything even if only costing 12 quid, does it repel sweat by the way?? as goretex does.
A good fire even if naked will warm you and stop the inset of hypothermia, sitting in a sweat ridden 12 quid piece of plastic will not. It will aid you in dying.
Spiritualism and hard faith, well i am an amature and need much advice from you lovely people as possible but, bushcraft i know the skills and live by them.
Wear it if you wish to run around and build a build a shelter and fire but me, no thanks, ill get down to me undies and then warm up thanks..
