Cocoon Insect Shield Travel Net

The net is treated with permethrin, an odorless, synthetic version of a natural repellent found in chrysanthemums. It is bonded to the fabric fibers, meaning it deters insects on contact without requiring you to apply chemicals directly to your skin.

This net is designed for ceiling suspension. You will need a hook or a secure point above your sleeping area to hang the net. Once suspended, the internal poles help create a dome shape, and the edges are designed to tuck securely under a mattress or sleeping pad.

The treatment is highly durable and remains effective for up to 70 washes. To maintain its longevity, avoid dry cleaning or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the repellent coating faster.

The net features 324 holes per square inch. While this is excellent for blocking mosquitoes, flies, and ticks, it may not be fine enough to stop extremely tiny insects like midges or no-see-ums.

Yes, with dimensions of 87 inches by 78 inches, it is sized to comfortably accommodate two people. The 71-inch peak height also provides enough vertical space to sit up comfortably without feeling cramped.

The net weighs 18.7 ounces. While it is lightweight and compact enough for most travel, ultralight backpackers might find it adds a bit of bulk compared to minimalist head nets or integrated tent systems.
