Was the pattern a raised grid or a sunken grid? I found some yoga mats at Wal-Mart that should be perfect...depending on what the screen used pattern was. |

The thin gridlines are recessed. Or the squares are raised, depending on your point of view. ![]() I think Harry's page shows it best. |

Hey Bob, if you verify that the material you find is accurate then please do post a link, @ Rob. Go to Scifimilitary.com and you may still find some cigarette pouches in 2 Pat Camo which can be used on the back of the helmet. Cheers Darren |

The yoga mats are way too thin. A military sleeping pad is closer. I would go with a sleeping mat or wait for the replica on the SFM. |

Hey Matt The problem withthe replica on the SFM is that (so I understand anyway) it will only be available in conjunction with purchases of M3 armour sets. I believe the original padding was from a Dutch army sleeping roll. I haven't seen any that match the pattern though. Darren |

From the image linked above, the padding doesn't appear to be more than a mm or two in thickness. The padding I found is praticly ready to use in that reguard. And as far as SFM is concerned, I won't be buying from him any time soon. |
