How to use the net

To set up, remove the net from the bag, release the struts of the dome section, and place it over your head and shoulders. Tuck the excess skirt under your mattress, sleeping bag, or groundsheet to ensure all-around protection.

Fabric tabs can be used to stake down the net if used outside. (Stakes sold separately.)

To pack, flatten the net from the sides to turn it into a triangle. Take hold of the crossing of the struts and the center of the base, twist in opposite directions to form a circle. Gather up the excess fabric and slide it into the carry bag.

When not in use, store the net inside the plastic bag provided to prolong the effectiveness of the Permethrin Impregnation.

Surplus

To our knowledge, no armed forces use these. We just happened to get a batch of these and jumped on it. These are one-off, unlikely to be restocked. Factory-new items in manufacturer plastic bags!
