Quick answer
The Savotta Camo Scrim Kit lets you add quick, reusable camouflage to your backpack or vest using jagged laser-cut strips that you can attach with elastic cord, wire, or tape.
Why use a camo scrim kit instead of a full net
A camo scrim kit gives you more control over where and how much camouflage you add. Unlike a fixed net that covers your entire pack, individual strips let you break up the outline of specific items — a radio pouch, a side pocket, or the top flap. You can also mix colors if you buy multiple kits, though each kit comes with five strips of the same color.
Limitations to keep in mind
The strips are not elastic and have no built-in attachment system. You will need to supply your own elastic cord, wire, or tape to secure them. The jagged edges help them blend visually, but in strong wind or dense brush, loose strips can snag or fall off. Plan to attach them firmly to avoid losing them on the trail.
How to apply the camo scrim kit
- Choose your attachment method: Decide between elastic cord, wire, or tape. Elastic cord works well for loops and straps; wire is better for tight wraps; tape is quickest but less reusable. Common mistake: using tape that leaves residue on your gear. Test a small piece of tape on an inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about residue.
- Position the first strip: Hold the strip against the area you want to camouflage — for example, the top of your pack or a side pocket. The jagged edges should extend past the outline of the item to break up its shape. Common mistake: placing the strip too neatly so it looks like a patch rather than natural disruption. Angle the strip slightly and let the edges hang unevenly for a more natural effect.
- Secure the strip: Wrap your chosen attachment material around the strip and the gear at two or three points along its length. Pull tight enough to hold but not so tight that you tear the strip or deform the gear. Common mistake: securing only the ends, which lets the middle flap and snag. Check that the strip cannot slide or rotate when you shake the gear.
- Repeat and adjust: Add more strips to cover other areas, leaving some gaps so the original gear color still shows through. Step back and look at the overall effect. Common mistake: covering too much surface, which can make the gear look like a solid blob rather than broken up. Less is often more — start with two or three strips and add more only if needed.
- Test and store: Wear or carry the gear in your intended environment and check if any strips shift or catch on branches. Remove and reattach as needed. When not in use, store the strips flat or loosely rolled to prevent creases. Common mistake: folding them tightly, which creates permanent crease lines. Store strips in a mesh pocket or stuff sack where they stay flat and accessible.
