USN Mil-Spec Lantern Globe Wrap – Fits Coleman 220, 228, 252 & 252A

New neoprene globe wrap featuring the US Navy design. Built for mil-spec Coleman lanterns, this wrap protects your globe and reduces rattling during transport. Velcro closure keeps it secure in the field or on the shelf.

Compatibility

• Coleman 220
• Coleman 228
• Coleman 252
• Coleman 252A mil-spec with quad glass (see relief cut note below)

Details

• US Navy / USN design
• Neoprene construction
• Velcro closure
• Made in the USA
• Lantern not included — shown for reference only

⚠️ Important: Allow your lantern to cool completely before applying the wrap. Neoprene will melt if placed on a hot lantern.

Installation

Relief cut (if needed): If wrapping completely around the outside of the frame or using with a mil-spec 252A with quad glass, you may need a relief cut. Center the wrap, mark where the bail makes contact, then make a cut approximately 1½ inches long (see photos).

Alternate method (recommended for display lanterns):

1. Remove the globe from the lantern.
2. Thread the wrap behind the bail (be careful not to bump the mantles).
3. Slide the globe back in and adjust the wrap as needed.
4. Secure the Velcro on the back.

Notes on the alternate method:

• Takes a little more time but reduces rattling and looks better — especially on display lanterns.
• No relief cut needed.
• Light-colored fabrics may get dirty more quickly using this method.
