Description
Jungle-grade protection for the Iron Curtain.
-
Border Guard Heritage: Anyone reenacting the Czechoslovak Border Guard or Cold War ČSLA knows how iconic this net looks in the field. It was standard kit for sentries stationed in dense forests and river areas where mosquitoes and midges were a constant threat.
-
Designed for Peaked Caps: The distinct bell-shaped cut is intentional. It stretches effortlessly over the wide, stiff crown and visor of the service cap, keeping the mesh suspended away from the soldier’s face so insects cannot bite through.
-
Materials: Made from a lightweight yet highly durable khaki/olive drab mesh that offers excellent ventilation and clear visibility. The bottom sleeve features an integrated white cotton drawstring to secure it around the jacket collar.
