NAR Hypothermia Prevention and Management Kit (HPMK)
Recommended by CoTCCC for hypothermia prevention, the patented HPMK® with Reinforced Heat Reflective Shell is a lightweight, rugged, and highly efficient solution for thermal insulation in tactical and emergency care environments. Its windproof and rain-resistant shell is made from a 4-ply composite fabric with a non-conductive reflective layer to deliver exceptional heat retention and durability.
Designed for rapid deployment, the HPMK® features 38 mm hook-and-loop closures for 360° access, a built-in hood, a fluid absorption pad, and a tapered shape that maximises isothermal coverage. The oxygen-activated self-heating liner provides 10 hours of continuous dry heat without the need for an external power source, making it an ideal solution for field operations.
Vacuum-packed for compact storage and equipped with NAR’s Red Tip Technology® for easy access, the HPMK® is reinforced and weight-tested to support over 113 kg. Each kit includes a heat reflective shell, self-heating liner, and vacuum storage bag for rapid response in cold and wet environments.
