USGI OD MOSQUITO NET FOR COT USED

Genuine U.S. military issue, this USGI Olive Drab Mosquito Net is the original-issue insect barrier designed to fit standard GI folding cots. Pulled from government stores in used condition, it carries the honest field character of real service gear — a detail that resonates with collectors, reenactors, and surplus enthusiasts who want the real article rather than a modern copy.

For end users heading into bug country — bivouac campers, hunters running long-season camps, expedition travelers, preppers, and anyone bedding down in mosquito, midge, or sandfly territory — this net turns a basic cot into a protected sleeping space. It drapes over the cot frame and is suspended from above, creating a tented enclosure that keeps biting insects off the sleeper through the night. A proven solution that the U.S. Army has relied on for decades.

Why It Sells

• Authentic U.S. government issue — not a commercial knockoff
• Pairs naturally with surplus GI cots already on the market
• Strong appeal to military collectors, Vietnam- and Cold War–era reenactors, and surplus completists
• Practical utility for hunters, campers, overlanders, and preppers in insect-heavy environments
• Olive drab finish blends with field camps and fits period-correct loadouts
