CATOMA Burrow 98600
The Improved Bed Net System (IBNS) was originally designed to fit securely onto a military cot with webbing and side release buckles on all four corners. After initial fielding, we were informed that Marines liked the product so much that they were deploying it in the field as well. In response, we ruggedized the design, creating the capability to add a rainfly. We have since delivered hundreds of thousands on contract. After yet another round of improvements, we are proud to re-introduce the Burrow™ IBNS with enhanced capability, more user friendly features, and improved parts and fittings.
The Burrow’s instant deployment and cot compatibility make it an efficient, fast-access shelter to protect users from insects and a great shelter for medical patients in the field. It is EPA registered and has Permethrin bonded to the material for insect repellency. The Burrow is supported by a strong and ultra-light .134” diameter pultruded fiberglass rod which winds through the shelter, expanding it to its given shape. When the rolled up Burrow’s cinch strap is removed, the shelter is released and snaps into shape automatically. No assembly or set-up is required.

If you want the short answer and save yourself some reading, then know I would recommend this 100%. It was a great investment, and I expect it will stand up to much travel over the years. Buy with confidence. If…
A great product that has served me well during active service! I was in the Infantry for five years and this tent did it’s job phenomenally well. It starts out small and light, with a packed profile that makes it very easy to fit it into a bag or rucksack without leaving unecessary empty space around it. Setup is as easy as you could ask for. Take it out of the case and let it fly. It snaps open and to shape on it’s own. No poles to set up or sort out. It is a great size for one average sized male. Low-ish profile so it doesn’t draw too mich ire from your…
If you spend time sleep outside, buy this I used this multiple times in the field in Alaska. I had everyone jealous. It sets up in seconds and takedown is a cinch. It is about the size of a cot and will attach to said cot to stay in place. It packs very small making it easy in a duffel bag, ruck sack, or back pack. It can also be attached to the outside. The compact size and light weight makes this shelter perfect for the military, survival, and any other outdoor use. It is spacious inside to keep a couple items and sleep comfortably,…
