NAR Survival Wrap

North American Rescue — Hypothermia Prevention NAR Survival Wrap A lightweight, durable emergency thermal blanket that reflects up to 90% of radiant body heat, is wind- and waterpr oof, and folds smaller than a deck of cards. At 3.7 oz it slots into any IFAK, aid bag, or cargo pocket. Reversible Orange/Silver or low-visibility Olive Drab. 3.7 oz90% Heat ReflectiveWind & Waterproof2 Colors Hypothermia is one corner of the lethal triad in trauma — alongside acidosis and coagulopathy — and a bleeding casualty loses heat fast, especially when wet or wind-exposed. Prevention starts at the point of injury, but only if a warming layer is actually on hand. What puts genuine thermal protection in a kit without costing space? The Survival Wrap solves the carry problem — under 4 oz, smaller than a deck of cards packaged. Its dual-layer build pairs a metalized mylar interior with a tear-resistant polyethylene shell: the mylar reflects up to 90% of radiant body heat while the laminate resists tearing under field stress and blocks wind and water, the two drivers of convective heat loss that accelerate hypothermia. The reversible Orange/Silver colorway gives a choice — silver in for maximum thermal retention, high-vis orange out for rescuer identification in MCI or wilderness scenarios. The Olive Drab variant covers tactical use where concealment matters. Both fold flat into a single cargo pocket. Why This Wrap 90% Heat Reflection Metalized mylar interior reflects radiant body heat back to the casualty. Tear-Resistant & Sealed Polyethylene shell resists tearing and blocks wind and water.

OD Green/Silver (SKU: ZZ-1390 / ZZ-1390S) — 56 in. × 96 in. | 3.2 oz | Low-visibility OD green + silver reversible sides Laminated mylar and tear-resistant polyethylene. Reversible — silver side faces inward toward patient to reflect body heat. Wind and waterproof. Lightweight hypothermia prevention layer in a minimalist IFAK — the Emergency Survival Wrap provides radiant heat retention in a compact, low-weight form for kits where the full HPMK footprint isn't practical. Emergency signaling with the high-visibility orange side — the orange/silver version (ZZ-0834-c) provides a large reflective surface visible to air and ground SAR units; the silver side signals when the orange side would compromise tactical signature. Supplement over the HPMK system — layer the Survival Wrap over a patient already packaged in the HPMK for additional wind and precipitation protection during outdoor CASEVAC. Mass casualty patient staging by untrained bystanders — simple enough that volunteers can wrap ambulatory minor-priority patients without instruction; frees trained responders for critical casualties. Vehicle, go-bag, and civilian emergency kit component — at 3.7 oz and packaged at 5 × 3.75 in., this belongs in every vehicle emergency kit, wilderness pack, and civilian trauma bag as a thermal contingency. Critical — reflective side placement: Silver side faces inward toward the patient to reflect body heat back. The orange or OD green side faces outward. Wrapping it backwards — silver side out — reflects ambient heat inward on a warm day and body heat outward in the cold, reducing effectiveness significantly. Limitations vs. HPMK: The Survival Wrap is a passive radiant device — no vapor barrier, no active heat source. For severe trauma casualties, the HPMK is the CoTCCC-recommended primary system. Use the Survival Wrap as a supplement or for lower-acuity scenarios. NAR Emergency Survival Wrap vs. Alternatives NAR Emergency Survival Wrap vs. HPMK: The HPMK is CoTCCC-recommended for trauma — three-mechanism protection (radiation, convection, conduction) plus 10-hour active heat. The Survival Wrap is single-mechanism passive radiant protection. For TCCC trauma casualties, the HPMK is the primary system. The Survival Wrap supplements the HPMK or serves standalone for lower-acuity environments. NAR Emergency Survival Wrap vs. generic mylar space blankets: NAR construction uses heavier, tear-resistant laminated polyethylene/mylar vs. the ultra-thin foil in consumer emergency kits. The NAR version survives field handling — multiple folds/unfolds, wind, contact with gear. Generic thin-foil mylar frequently tears at the first edge fold under field conditions. Orange/Silver (ZZ-0834-c, 60 × 96 in.) vs. OD Green/Silver (ZZ-1390, 56 × 96 in.): Orange is 4 inches wider with the high-visibility exterior for SAR signaling and civilian emergencies. OD Green maintains low-visibility tactical signature for military environments where orange would compromise position. Choose based on operational context. NAR Emergency Survival Wrap vs. NAR Survival Blanket (ZZ-0038): The separate NAR Survival Blanket (ZZ-0038) is smaller (56 × 84 in., 1.84 oz) and single-color silver only. The Emergency Survival Wrap is larger, heavier, and reversible with the color/signaling side. Both are available — verify which product the Shopify listing references if ordering for procurement documentation. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the difference between the orange and OD green versions? A: Orange/Silver (ZZ-0834-c): 60 × 96 in., 3.7 oz — the orange side is high-visibility for emergency signaling, SAR operations, and civilian emergency kits. OD Green/Silver (ZZ-1390): 56 × 96 in., 3.2 oz — lower-visibility tactical coloring for military environments where orange would compromise position. Both are silver on the heat-reflective side. Choose based on operational context. Q: Which side faces the patient? A: Silver side faces inward toward the patient — it reflects body heat back. The colored side (orange or OD green) faces outward. Wrapping it backwards reduces effectiveness significantly: silver facing out reflects environmental radiation inward in warm conditions, not body heat inward in cold conditions. Q: Is this CoTCCC-recommended for trauma hypothermia? A: The Emergency Survival Wrap is not specifically on the CoTCCC recommended device list for trauma hypothermia management — that designation belongs to the HPMK. The Survival Wrap is an effective passive radiant device appropriate for supplement and lower-acuity use. For CoTCCC-compliant primary trauma hypothermia management, specify the HPMK. Q: Can I use this in the rain? A: The laminated polyethylene exterior is wind and waterproof on the surface. However, it does not provide the vapor-barrier function of the HPMK's inner vacuum bag. For wet-environment trauma patient packaging, the HPMK provides better moisture protection. The Survival Wrap is most effective in dry-cold and wind-chill environments. Q: What is the packaged size — will this fit in an IFAK side pocket? A: The Orange/Silver version (ZZ-0834-c) packs to 5 in. × 3.75 in. at 3.7 oz. The OD Green version (ZZ-1390) is similarly compact. Both fit in a standard IFAK side pocket or cargo pocket — no folding jig required.
