The Coghlan’s 9640 is a single-wide mosquito net measuring 32 x 78 inches, optimized for use with standard camping cots. It utilizes a 100% polyester 180-mesh knit, which provides a balance between insect management and thermoregulation. The 180-mesh count allows for approximately 15% better airflow compared to finer "no-see-um" nets, making it more comfortable in warmer climates.
The design includes a single-point top attachment that creates a tenting effect. The spring-steel circular hoop frame allows for a rapid "pop-up" setup, though the "taco-fold" mechanism can lose its shape if subjected to high torsion during repacking. Because of the 32-inch width, it may not provide a complete seal on standard 39-inch twin mattresses. The lightweight mesh is also susceptible to snagging on hook-and-loop fasteners or rough edges.
If you require a head-only protection system for hiking, the Coghlan's Mosquito Head Net is a lighter, more compact choice.
This cot-specific net is a practical entry in our pop up mosquito net sunshades category for solo travelers.
