I'm a fan of MAPA camouflage. The neck warmer works great, especially on cooler days – I usually use it as protection against the wind. I've also used it during strong sunlight as protection for my head and neck. I recommend it.

Multifunctional protective sling in MAPA camouflage, made of airy and elastic fabric in the form of a seamless sleeve. The material used guarantees a high degree of air permeability and moisture absorption, making it skin-friendly. The sling will prove useful in tactical training, survival and recreational outdoor activities. Although intended for the civilian market, it will also be appreciated by professionals in the uniformed services.
The sling provides protection from wind, dust, sun, cold and sweat.
The camouflage pattern MAPA was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, author of, among other publications, Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdansk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of armor and uniforms from Maskpol, which is part of the Polish Armament Group. The system was created for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Army, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a perspective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not been implemented as an official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army to date.
Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant:
- 6 colors that form layers resembling levels on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in the forests of Central Europe,
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes making the design similar to vegetation,
- strongly contrasting elements imitating flashes of light and shadows,
- deformation of the masked silhouette using macro pattern,
- color noise reproduced by means of a micro pattern.
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn or Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than them, and better reproduces the colors found in Central European forests in the period from later spring to early autumn.
When folded, it takes up very little space and does not weigh down your pocket. It can be worn in many ways, for example, as a balaclava, a scarf to protect the lower part of the face, a headband, a cap, a scarf.

The Maskpol STM-03 scarf in MAPA B camouflage, which in my opinion is better suited for spring and summer because it has more vibrant greens than MAPA A. It's a bit wider than the Maskpol STM-01 and at the same time made of a material that is slightly glossy, though the pictures here don't show it well. According to the manufacturer's label, the material is made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, which makes the scarf very elastic and stretchy.
-
The Maskpol STM-01 scarf in MAPA A camouflage, which I would describe as summer-autumn. It is a bit narrower than the STM-03 model, but made of a more pleasant material. The edges are not secured and the scarf frays quickly.
-
The scarf is lightweight and airy, and will be great for the summer. Unfortunately, contrary to the description, it doesn't protect effectively against wind or cold. I am attaching a photo of the thickness of the scarf and a comparison with another version (in the photos, it's the longer and wider one). I would also add: I understand that MAPA is not a winter camouflage, but it would be good if Maskpol had something warmer in their range.
-
The scarf is very pleasant to the touch, the material is flexible and does not resemble tissue paper like in some other products. The camouflage is great. And it's made in Poland.
-
Great workmanship, very good material and excellent camouflage. I'd give it 5 stars, but: - the neck warmer is too short for me (if it were about 15 cm longer, I could cut the base on both sides so the neck warmer would sit better on the neck and at the front); apart from this, you can't make a classic ninja-style balaclava from it, - it's a bit too tight – with well-developed trapezius muscles, the base of the neck warmer rides up, which I've already described, - for winter, the material is too thin.
-
The scarf material is stretchy and comfortable to wear. The camouflage looks excellent.
-
Excellent Mapa camouflage. Functional neck warmer. I recommend it.
-
The scarf is elastic, fits well, and the camouflage pattern looks great, perfectly complementing both the sweatshirt and the hat in MAPA.
-
Very nice and well-designed camouflage. It's a pity the Ministry of Defence didn't accept this new pattern.
-
A comfortable neck warmer made from high-quality material and with excellent camouflage. I definitely recommend it.
-
The product looks good in terms of both quality and appearance – I honestly recommend it.
