Scrim Net for Military Helmet (VIRTUS) - by Spectre Military Equipment

Product Information

Scrim is also used in clothing, usually covering the face or head. This allows the wearer to see out, while preventing others from seeing in. This may also be combined with camouflage to completely hide a person, such as a sniper. This style of net is seldom seen among reenactors although up to 60% of all nets in theatre were of a “shrimp net” type or style (or at the very least, 17.4% were if we go with the lowest possible number). The shrimp net is seen in a number of units within the armies in the ETO beginning in the fall of 1944, and becomes more common in photographs from the late Winter and Spring of 1945. The author of this piece believes that some of 1/2”“Normandy” Nets might actually be an American procured helmet nets and that the 1/4”“British Style” Net and the Shrimp Net were so similar that they recorded as the same line item.

though no doubt some blokes most proberly do it for 'allyness', I always thought it was for camouflage - though certain DS at SCBC think otherwise. Some of the items we sell are age restricted by law. These are identified as such within the item descriptions. A scrim was an integral part of the Beijing Olympic Stadium in Beijing. It was the screen running around the top of the stadium during the opening ceremonies on which all kinds of scenes were projected. Li Ning ran around it just before the cauldron lighting for 2008 Summer Olympics. A scrim will appear nearly transparent if a scene behind it is lit, but there is no light on the scrim.
