Ok, So no-see-um is pretty heavy compared to the rest of the fabrics we use in backpacking, but is it really worth it? Many times I'll just reapply bug spray before I go to bed, or take a smoke bath if there is a fire, and I'm fine for the night. One specific example, during this last summer, near a lake I slept shirtless and shoe less, laying on just a camp mat, and when I woke up I didn't have a single bug bite, even though they were out pretty heavy.
One of the ultraliters mottos is no duplicates, isn't my bug dope, and bug net, a duplicate?

Edit: I primarily backpack in the midwest. If I end up in alaska, I'll have netting... and a rifle, to fend of the mosquitos
