NAR Survival Wrap

Key Specifications

Product Overview

Hypothermia is one of the three components of the lethal triad in trauma — alongside acidosis and coagulopathy — and its prevention begins at the point of injury. The NAR Survival Wrap addresses this threat in the most compact format available from North American Rescue. At under 4 ounces and smaller than a deck of cards when packaged, it integrates seamlessly into any IFAK, jump bag, or survival kit without sacrificing critical space.

The wrap's dual-layer construction combines a metalized mylar interior with a tear-resistant polyethylene outer shell. This pairing delivers genuine thermal performance — reflecting up to 90% of radiant body heat — while resisting tearing under field stress. The laminated construction also provides a water- and wind-resistant barrier, which is critical in wet or high-wind environments where convective heat loss accelerates hypothermia onset.

The reversible Orange/Silver colorway offers dual functionality: the silver side maximizes thermal retention, while the high-visibility orange exterior aids rescuer identification in mass casualty or wilderness scenarios. The Olive Drab variant is selected for tactical operations where concealment is required. Both versions fold flat and compress into a small package that fits in a single cargo pocket.

Tactical & Clinical Use Cases

The Survival Wrap is intended for use in TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) scenarios as a rapid hypothermia-prevention measure while awaiting MEDEVAC or definitive care. It can be wrapped around a casualty's torso and extremities immediately after hemorrhage control to slow core temperature loss. In civilian EMS and wilderness medicine applications, it serves as a lightweight backup warming layer for patients in shock, cold-water immersion, or exposure situations.

Pair with the Head & Hypothermia Prevention collection or upgrade to the full-body TacMed™ Emergency Bivvy for extended casualty warming in austere environments. Complete your trauma kit with IFAK kits for comprehensive point-of-injury care.
