USMC Thermarest Coyote Accordion Sleep Mat

USMC Accordion Sleep Mat

This is a Thermarest accordion sleep mat issued to the US Marine Corps, in coyote, the light tan-brown that matches current Marine field gear. It puts a layer of foam between you and cold or uneven ground, and it needs no inflating. The pad folds into a compact stack that straps to a pack. Campers, hunters, preppers and collectors of Marine issue kit carry it.

Features

• Accordion Fold Design — The pad is scored into a series of hinged panels that fold back and forth on each other like an accordion, so it unfolds flat in seconds and packs down the same way.
• Foam Construction — A solid foam body cannot puncture or deflate, so a thorn or sharp rock does not leave you sleeping on the ground.
• Compact Folded Stack — Folded, the mat forms a neat rectangular block that straps under a ruck lid or to the outside of a pack.
• Coyote Color — The tan-brown shade matches USMC coyote load-bearing gear and sits low-key in the field.
• Thermarest Made — The pad comes from Thermarest, the maker of camping sleep pads, and was supplied to the Marine Corps.
• Embossed Markings — A molded label panel is pressed into the foam on the outer face, as on issued examples.
• Ground Insulation — The foam layer slows heat loss into the ground, which takes more warmth from a sleeper than the air does.
• Multi-Use Pad — Fold it to a single section and it works as a seat or kneeling pad on wet or frozen ground.

Genuine Marine Issue

This mat was procured for the US Marine Corps, and it has no commercial colorway or retail branding. Issued gear is built to the service's requirements for field use, which is why many campers prefer it to a store-bought pad. It also suits anyone assembling an accurate USMC sleep system or field kit.
