Camouflage Nets

The Type of Camouflage Net Determines Its Use

Camouflage nets are available for helmets, ground cover, facial coverage, and special versions for snipers or scouts. The fine-mesh nets are elastic and tear-resistant, securely holding camouflage material. In forest and open land operations, branches and leaves are often placed under the net to provide simple yet highly effective cover. Tight-mesh nets can hold small camouflage material, while coarse-mesh nets can accommodate larger quantities. The net can be used not only on the ground but also to cover objects like vehicles. For this purpose, large-scale nets are used.

Nets Available for Various Uses

ASMC offers camouflage nets for various applications. Helmet nets, which tightly cover helmets and can be filled with leaves or branches to enhance camouflage, are particularly practical. ASMC also provides nets in different colors and sizes for larger areas. These nets can be spread on the ground or used to cover objects. In any case, the camouflage net allows material to be placed underneath to provide cover. On the ground, structures, underground passages, or installations can be hidden in this way. Nets in green or brown colors are nearly invisible. For military use, various nets are available that cover faces while allowing breathing and visibility, crucial for light-skinned individuals during operations. Special camouflage nets for snipers or scouts are also available at ASMC. All nets are of high quality and tailored to their respective applications. The selection includes new and used nets from German or international stocks, differing in their designs. Thanks to the variety of sizes, purchases can be tailored to specific uses.
