Combat-Proven Insect Protection for Extreme Environments - This genuine government-issue (G.I.) mosquito net is the definitive choice for tactical personnel and backcountry explorers requiring a durable, non-mechanical barrier against disease-carrying insects.
The Genuine G.I. O.D. Mosquito Net is constructed from 100% heavy-duty polyester mesh, specifically engineered to be both flame-resistant and mildew-proof for long-term deployment in tropical or humid climates. Designed as a versatile "insect bar," it features reinforced corner loops for easy suspension over a standard military cot or for rigging between trees in a primitive field camp. The Olive Drab (O.D.) color provides low-profile visual concealment, while the extra-fine mesh ensures total protection from mosquitoes, flies, and other small biting pests without obstructing critical airflow.

Why It Matters Unlike commercial nets that are often fragile and prone to tearing, this genuine issue net is designed for survival. Its flame and mildew resistance ensure it remains functional and safe through months of continuous field use, protecting the operator from insect-borne pathogens.
How to Use / What Problem It Solves Solves the problem of insect-borne sleep disruption. To deploy, suspend the net from its loops using overhead lines or a cot-frame kit. Ensure the bottom edges are tucked under your sleeping pad or weighted down to create a 360-degree bug-proof seal.
