Question 1

What is the shielding fabric, and how is it integrated?

Accepted Answer

The inner envelope combines a conductive silver-coated, Swiss Shield–style shielding weave with the insect mesh. It is separate from the outer 20D ripstop shell: the shell provides the weather-facing layer, while the inner hybrid textile provides the published shielding and bug-barrier functions in one sleeping envelope.

Question 2

Which frequency bands are measured?

Accepted Answer

The published prototype ranges cover cellular at 700 MHz–3.8 GHz with 38–24 dB, Wi-Fi at 2.4/5 GHz with 24–20 dB, Bluetooth at 2.4 GHz at about 22 dB, and GPS/GNSS at 1.1–1.6 GHz at about 26 dB.

Question 3

What do the dB figures mean?

Accepted Answer

A dB figure describes attenuation measured against a defined frequency or band; it is not a universal percentage of signal blocked. These are prototype/lab measurement figures, and each production unit should be accompanied by a per-band report before performance is treated as final.

Question 4

Why aren't attenuation figures health claims?

Accepted Answer

Measurable RF attenuation describes a physical textile result, not a medical outcome. It is not evidence that the canopy prevents illness, improves health, or makes a medical-safety guarantee, and Nullhaven does not make those claims.

Question 5

How does ventilation trade off against attenuation?

Accepted Answer

The conductive inner layer and the outer shell coexist with four mesh windows plus top-and-side venting. That layout is intended to preserve airflow while keeping the envelope integrated, but no enclosed shelter can promise zero heat, humidity, or CO₂ buildup. Site conditions, weather, and how fully the canopy is closed still matter.

Question 6

Does the canopy protect against mosquitoes?

Accepted Answer

The product currently publishes a 1200-hole polyester mesh and an EN 13561 mosquito-barrier claim. The sleeping envelope needs to be zipped closed for that barrier to work as intended; an open canopy should not be treated as insect-proof.

Question 7

How is the setup suspended?

Accepted Answer

It uses one suspension point with a four-stake/ridgeline setup and takes approximately 30 seconds to put up under suitable conditions. You still need a suitable anchor and a clear sleeping footprint of about 200 × 90 cm; the setup claim does not remove those site requirements.

Question 8

How small and light is it to pack and carry?

Accepted Answer

The current prototype/specification copy lists approximately 640 g packed and about 22 × 14 × 14 cm when stowed. That is positioned for a 30 L backpack or carry-on, but those figures are not a guarantee for every production unit.
