This mat is a real find :) It works great as a seat pad, but it also serves well as a mat under a backpack. Personally, I would introduce a modification in the form of a panel attached to the belt, and I would attach the mat to it with Velcro.

A foldable mat constructed from robust Cordura 560 in MAPA camouflage, with soft foam filling. Offers both comfort and efficient insulation from the ground. Its compact size when folded ensures easy transport and storage.
Secured by a Velcro fastener, keeping the mat folded. Once opened, it provides ample space for comfortable seating. Compatible with the MOLLE/PALS system, the mat can be attached to a belt, backpack vest, or other gear when folded. The mounting system is fabricated using LaserCut technology.
The MAPA camouflage design was created by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and current researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, and the author of publications including Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdansk 2015). This innovative design, supported by strong theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of numerous terrain photographs, has caught the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage debuted at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as the camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of armor and uniforms by Maskpol, a part of the Polish Armament Group. Although developed for the Territorial Defense Army, the MAPA pattern was also considered as a potential camouflage for the entire Polish Armed Forces, possibly replacing the wz.93 pattern. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage hasn't been officially adopted as the Polish Army's camouflage pattern to date.
Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in the standard forest variant:
- 6 colors that create layers mimicking terrain levels,
- shades optimized for Central European forest operations,
- utilization of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes that closely resemble vegetation,
- high-contrast elements that imitate flashes of light and shadow,
- silhouette distortion using a macro pattern,
- color noise rendered through a micro pattern.
The MAPA design is a compelling alternative to top contemporary camouflage patterns like PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, or Finnish M/05. In many respects, it offers more advanced features and better replicates colors found in Central European forests from late spring to early autumn.

The mat works very well – it's a fantastic solution when you need to sit outdoors on something cold, wet, or hard. It's easy to unfold and fold by yourself. However, you should remember that if you have a backpack, it should end above your belt, otherwise it may press against the mat.

It works great during outdoor trips. When folded, it is very compact. It effectively protects against cold from the ground. Made from high-quality material. The camouflage looks fantastic. I definitely recommend it.
