    I like it too, it's a different kind of mesh than the bag I linked above. It's more like a no-see-um mesh.

    Nice. Coffee made one (mesh bag) once that doubled as a bug net to go over your head. I've always thought that was a good idea for some REALLY BUGGY areas.

    Some really good, very fine mesh is Chiffon.

    Polyester and strong, also light. The stuff I got from Hancock is 1.03 oz/sq yd. Not the best color, but I picked for price not color.

    Easy to see through, easy to sew.

    I've been considering using it to replace noseeum in places where I need less ventilation. The mesh is much, much finer than noseeum.

    Now for that party dress my niece wants

    I use sil for my hammock, tarp, clothes and food. I use ziplocks for my toiletries, emergency fire kit, first aid kit, etc....mainly b/c of the visibility. I can see where a mesh bag would be helpful for all the little things like that. That stuff goes inside my pack liner anyway so it will (hopefully!) already be waterproofed.

    I use gallon zip lock bags for kits (first aid, gadgets, repair) too.
    When they start showing much wear, I just replace them.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    I make storage bags for quilts & bags out of mesh. I don't have the space to hang them so I figured the mesh was better than the cotton bags that come with alot of sleeping bags. I bought the mesh from WM in the hunting section. It's not as small as noseeum mesh or I would have used it on a hammock, but the larger size mesh means better air flow.
