Ideal for travellers, backpackers and outback camping, this Mozzie net is light, compact and is essential for travel in areas where mosquito borne disease is a risk. The mesh allows for good airflow and visibility while the generous sizing, mattress skirting and adjustability keeps the netting well away from body parts.
This model is Permethrin treated, which is an insecticide that will daze mosquitos on contact, and on repeated contact the insect will die. The dosage used on the nets does not harm humans. Permethrin treatment will dissipate with time and washing.
Permethrin is a very safe and effective insectcide which the WHO recommends for the reduction of Malaria and other vector borne diseases.
The net is made from high visibility black netting with ultrafine 80 hole per square cm hexagonal mesh, and soft multifilament polyester.

In 1984 a small group of climbers from the world's flattest continent pulled off an audacious ascent of Mount Everest - they put a new route up the north face in lightweight style with no oxygen or sherpa support. Six years later, one of the summiteers, Tim Macartney-Snape decided to return to Everest after he realized neither he nor any other person who had climbed the mountain had truly climbed the entire 8,848 meters, as that would have meant starting from sea level. That is, no one had yet climbed it from "sea to summit".
In the spring of 1990 Tim had a swim in the tepid waters of India's Bay of Bengal then set off on foot across the Gangetic plain toward the distant Himalayan foothills. Four months later, after climbing alone from Base Camp and without the assistance of oxygen, he set foot once again on the highest point on earth. Tim's solo ascent of Mt. Everest was named the "Sea to Summit" expedition.
Back in Australia, Tim joined forces with climbing friend, sewing enthusiast and design guru Roland Tyson to build a business that could make use of their knowledge of the outdoors to create truly ingenious, well-made but affordable outdoor equipment. They named their company Sea to Summit after Tim's expedition and the business prospered.
