Mosquito Net Lifesystems MicroNet Single (Untreated) – single-person, ultrafine mesh

Lifesystems MicroNet Single (Untreated) is a single-person mosquito net made from ultrafine mesh that creates a physical barrier against mosquitoes and other small flying insects. Designed for situations where chemical treatment is not required or desired, this lightweight net offers compact protection suitable for camping, backpacking, travel and indoor use. The shape and size are optimized to cover a single sleeping pad, hammock or bed, providing reliable coverage without added insecticide.

Advantages

The untreated ultrafine mesh blocks even small insects while maintaining good airflow for comfortable sleep. Its lightweight and compact design reduces pack weight and stowage volume, making it suitable for minimalist backpacking and travel. The net is simple to set up and remove, and its neutral treatment status makes it suitable for people who prefer to avoid chemical treatments or need compliance with no-treatment policies in certain regions or accommodations.

Suitable for

• Backpacking and lightweight hiking trips where minimal weight is essential
• Camping and bivvying in areas with small biting insects
• Travel and hostels where chemical treatments are not permitted or preferred
• Indoor use over beds or hammocks to prevent insect intrusion

Key specifications

• Capacity: single-person coverage
• Material: ultrafine mesh fabric for insect exclusion
• Treatment: untreated (no insecticide applied)
• Weight: ultralight construction suitable for packable use
• Compatibility: designed for use over a sleeping mat, hammock or small bed

How to use

Unpack the net and identify the entry/opening side. Drape the net over your sleeping area—sleeping mat, hammock or bed—ensuring the net fully encloses the sleeping space and reaches the ground or tucks under the mat to prevent gaps. Arrange suspension points or secure edges as needed to keep the mesh away from your body; contact between netting and skin can allow mosquitoes to bite through. After use, shake out any debris, fold the net along its seams, and store it dry in its storage pouch to prevent mildew.

Usage recommendations

For optimal protection, check the net for holes or tears before each use and repair small damage promptly. When camping in areas with heavy insect pressure, position the net so it does not touch your skin and combine physical barrier use with other non-chemical measures such as campsite selection and protective clothing. Store the net clean and dry to prolong fabric life.
