Netting
Rothco camo netting hides what a suit can't: blinds, vehicles, boats, tents and fixed positions. This section also includes smaller nets for your head and rifle, and a genuine G.I. mosquito net for sleeping in the field.
- Ultra-lite Camo Net – reversible, waterproof material that won't rot or mold, with a non-glare additive that also softens it so it doesn't rustle. Sizes 3'10" x 9'10", 7'10" x 9'10" and 7'10" x 19'8".
- Military Type Camo Net – rip-stop fabric reinforced with mesh, a reversible foliage pattern with brown or green showing, UV treatment against sun damage and a glare-reducing finish, in two sizes.
- Large Ultra-lite Digital Woodland Net – a large net in digital woodland for covering bigger setups.
- Rothco Sniper Veil – a mesh veil that drapes over your head and shoulders to hide your face and outline.
- Lightweight Sniper Rifle Wrap – breaks up the straight lines of a rifle or airsoft gun.
- Genuine GI OD Mosquito Net – olive drab military surplus insect netting for a cot or shelter.
Hunters use these nets for duck, ground and boat blinds; airsoft and paintball teams build bunkers and sniper hides; preppers and campers shade and hide a campsite; and military units and reenactors use them to conceal vehicles and positions.
A note for service members: camouflage nets and veils aren't uniform items under AR 670-1. These are commercial nets, not issue camouflage screening systems, so use them in training as your unit's SOP allows. Our guide below covers sizing and setup.

How to Choose Camo Netting
Choose camo netting by the size of what you need to hide, the seasons you'll use it in and how far you'll carry it.
Sizing Camo Netting
Measure the object, then add enough to drape past the edges to the ground. A net that stops short leaves a hard shadow line, which is easier to spot than the object itself. As a rough guide:
- 3'10" x 9'10" – a layout blind, the front of a tree stand or a small window screen.
- 7'10" x 9'10" – a ground blind, a small tent or a fence-line hide.
- 7'10" x 19'8" – a boat blind, a duck blind front or a long hide on a field edge.
Measure twice for vehicles with mirrors, antennas or racks, since those add height and width. For trucks, trailers, side-by-sides or large shelters, consider the Military Type Camo Net or the Large Ultra-lite Digital Woodland Net, or overlap two nets.
Reversible Camo Netting for Two Seasons
The Ultra-lite and Military Type nets are both reversible. With the Military Type net, use the green side in spring and summer, then flip it to brown for fall and winter, so one net covers most of the year. The Ultra-lite net also reverses, which lets you switch looks without carrying a second net.
Ultra-lite or Military Type
The Ultra-lite net is the lighter, quieter choice for carrying into the field and setting up in the dark. The Military Type net's rip-stop and mesh build and UV treatment make it the better pick for a net that stays up for weeks over a blind or a vehicle.
Setting Up Camo Netting
- Lift the net off the object with poles, branches or spreaders so it doesn't show the object's shape.
- Break up the edges by letting the net fall unevenly, and tuck in local brush or grass.
- Stake the corners in wind so it doesn't flap; movement draws the eye.
- Keep netting away from campfires and stoves, and dry it before packing to keep it clean.
- Fold or roll the net loosely instead of stuffing it, so it doesn't tangle the next time you set it up.
Veils, Rifle Wraps and Mosquito Nets
A sniper veil hides your face and shoulders when you can't paint up, and it's a quick fix for hunters who need to see through it. The rifle wrap goes around a barrel and stock to break up the long, straight line that gives away a shooter. The G.I. mosquito net isn't camouflage at all; it's a bug barrier for sleeping in the field and a useful addition to any warm-weather packing list.
Camo Netting in Military Training
There's no uniform regulation governing personal camo netting. Military units cover vehicles and positions with issued screening systems under their own SOPs. Our commercial nets are a lightweight option for training, airsoft, reenactments and hunting. Follow your unit's guidance on what you can bring to the field, and keep the mosquito net in your ruck for warm-weather exercises where bugs are part of the training.
