The patented Hypothermia Prevention & Management Kit™ (HPMK®) with reinforced Heat Reflective Shell (HRS™) is strong, flexible, lightweight & impervious to wind & rain. Utilizing NASA pioneered science the HPMK® is specifically designed to prevent hypothermia during Tactical Casualty Evacuation (TACEVAC). The HRS™ is constructed of a 4-ply, composite fabric with a protected non-conductive reflective layer that provides excellent thermal insulation. Rapid 360° access to the casualty with minimal exposure is achieved through the use of 1.5 in. continuous hook & loop closures. The HRS™ has a built in hood, fluid absorption pad & is tapered from top to bottom to maximize isothermal capabilities.
The kit also contains a self- heating, four-cell shell liner designed to sustain continuous dry heat. The kit is vacuum-packaged in a rugged, pliable pouch featuring NAR’s Red Tip Technology™ with tabs that allow easy access and rapid deployment.
