Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa use thermal capes as blankets and shelter in the wilderness of Mimban.
A thermal cape, also known as a "thermal wrap," was a poncho that helped its wearer to retain his or her body heat in cold conditions and was typically included in most survival packs.
In addition to being worn, a thermal cape could be used as an impromptu blanket or shelter. A combination of alcomase and Vectinian spider's silk was commonly used in the manufacture of thermal capes.
