First of all: it is not a net! It is a lightweight camouflage tarp with cuts similar to a camouflage net, creating a slight 3D camouflage effect. Phantomleaf camouflage patterns are far superior to most others, especially the classic camouflage net that is a single colour on each side. If the colour is chosen correctly for the surroundings and weather conditions, the camouflage effect is so strong, even without additional natural and three-dimensional (3D) camouflage, that from a certain distance you will not be detected unless someone is actively and expertly searching visually. This makes it possible to conceal a position, a hide, or a material depot fairly quickly and reasonably well. If you add just a little natural material from the immediate surroundings, the visual camouflage effect is astonishingly high. I was not able to test the NIR camouflage performance.
Designed for camouflage, the net is sized 1.5 x 3 m with a laser-cut pattern. It is made of high-quality nylon in Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B camouflage.
The net is resistant to harsh weather conditions and provides protection from the sun. Located on the corners of the net, the metal grommets allow the net to be easily attached and hung up.
WASP I is an innovative line of PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage patterns designed specifically for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes motion and other variables into account, so the patterns have good adaptive properties over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good identification of "one's-another" within a group of soldiers on the battlefield.
The WASP I Z1B variant will work best in rocky areas with low vegetation cover, such as tundra or parts of mountains above the tree line. It will also find use in those cities and industrial sites where concrete and steel structures predominate. It also retains its effectiveness with partial snow cover.

Very good net, well made. The colours reflect the Polish autumn and snowless winter well. The downside is its small width and only four mounting points. You can, of course, add more points yourself, but it’s not the same as having six original 'eyes'. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not absorb water, dries quickly, allows air to pass through well and works well as sun protection. I tested it on the Mazury for two months – it was exposed to sun and rain, but no discolouration appeared due to the rays. I recommend it.

The camouflage net has a very well-designed camouflage pattern. It is sturdy and made of good-quality materials. However, given its dimensions, it seems to be a bit too heavy. Additionally, its downside is that the camouflage pattern is only on one side, while the other side is light and greyish, which can make it easier to spot the object hidden underneath.
