Thermal Protection Beanie – Protection and Environment Module
Beanie for optimal head thermal protection. Essential for maintaining body temperature during cold weather evacuations. Comfortable universal fit.
Essential Head Thermal Protection
This protective beanie is part of the orange Evakit module dedicated to environmental protection and plays a crucial role in maintaining your body temperature. Since the head is responsible for 40% of human body heat loss, this beanie becomes vital equipment during prolonged evacuations or outdoor waits in cold weather.
The Critical Importance of Thermal Protection:
Heat loss through the head can quickly lead to hypothermia, compromising your decision-making abilities and mobility in an emergency. This beanie serves as your first line of defense against body cooling, thereby preserving your clarity of mind and operational effectiveness.
