At a finished weight of 0.5 oz/yd 2, NS50 is 25% lighter than our 0.67 oz and 45% lighter than our 0.9 oz Noseeum. We developed and produced this custom to be the lightest noseeum mesh on the market today.
Note that this is the 2nd generation of NS50 ultralight Noseeum mesh. As such, it's significantly stiffer and less stretchy than the initial version. This makes the mesh easier to sew, snag-resistant, and more durable.
Noseeum is a lightweight yet durable micro-mesh netting used to provide superior insect protection in the outdoors. Constructed with a tight, irregular knit pattern, noseeum shields you from even the smallest of pests.
Great for use in ultralight bugnets, quilt baffles, and tent/shelter screens.
Sold by the Yard. For example, enter a quantity of "3" to receive three linear yards of material, measuring three yards (108") in length by the listed width of the material (check specs tab).

0.5 vs. 0.9 Noseeum Mesh ![Marcus G. review photo]()
Made same size Hammock Bug netting of both 0.5 and 0.9 Noseeum Mesh of which the numbers already tell the obvious. Stuffed down it really shows on photos. It is half the size and for a bug net which I barley use, size matters which also reflects on the weight.
Yes, 0.5 oz bit funnier (time consuming and patience needed) to sew but worth it, especially that 0.5 oz finished hammock bug netting doesnt exist on the market.
Hey Marcus! Thanks for the great review. This is a great comparison between 0.5 Noseeum Mesh and 0.9 oz Noseeum mesh and definitely highlights the differences between the two. Let us know if we can help with anything in the future, we would be glad to assist.

Quilt Materials
I am making my wife a light weight quilt for Christmas. She can't stand pressure on her feet at night but needs to stay warm. I am using nylon taffeta outer material and 0.5 oz NS50 Noseeum Mesh as a web to make a V-tube construction with 900 fill power down for insulation. The materials I bought from Ripstop ByThe Roll are working great. I have not found any flaws in the fabrics. I am happy I can design a camping item, and in this case a home use item, and then find the fabrics I need at Ripstop. Without you, I could not achieve my dreams.
Wow! Thank you for such a kind review, Jerry! The quilt you made your wife sounds awesome, and great choice in materials! Be sure to send us photos or tag us on social media, we'd love to see!

Bug bivy with silpoly bathtub
Excellent material. All but impossible to sew to itself without a backing material. Grosgrain worked well for this purpose. Finished weight w/o lines 6.6 oz
We would love to see photos of your bivy! Be sure to tag us on social media or send us photos here https://forms.gle/8JZW2SXiTwD3jUdb6

Need to get used to
I've been using 0.67 to builded integrated bugnet hammock.
I used to worry about whether I could do it well because I used 0.5 to get a lot of expansion and contraction, and the cutting edge was rounded, but I was able to sew better than I thought!
It's very light and soft, so you need to get used to it, but you can sew firmly if you handle it carefully.
It's super lightweight but seems durable.
Thank you Jiro for the thoughtful review! We're happy to hear this 0.5 oz Noseeum mesh is working well for your projects. Let us know if you have any questions!

Great netting
Picked up several yards of the 0.05 netting for an ultralight hammock I was making. I was a little worried that it might be too hard to work with, but turns out it has a nice hand and is easy to see. The project went together without a hitch and now I have a new ultralight hammock.
Hi Mark, Thanks for the review! Enjoy the netting!

Perfect for baffles
Purchased to make baffles for a DIY down top quilt. Used rotary cutter to cut to desired widths. Finished quilt today and this mesh worked great for the baffles! Quality product.
Hi Marjorie, Thanks for the review! The NS50 is great for UL baffles.

Light weight hammock bugnet
I made a light wight hammock bug net from this mesh. It was easy to cut and sew (even adding the zipper was fine), and is strong enough for this purpose yet light weight. I used office tape for marking the cutting lines which worked better than chalk or pen. My bug net became large and hits the ground, collecting small sticks and leaves from ground and being accidentally stepped onto with hiking boots. Based on my first trip, I'm not sure if the net is going to survive that kind of treatment in long term so I'm planning to either make it narrower (and even more light weight) or replacing the critical area with another fabric (that would increase the weight but would on the other hand allow stepping out from the hammock while inside the bug net).

Good material - a little difficult to cut/sew
If you are limited to scissors for cutting (I don't yet own a rotary cutter or convenient cutting surface, or a hot wire knife) it can be difficult to cut this stuff straight. Also, when it comes to sewing, you'll need to pin accurately and often (or use clips to clip the material together if you don't want pin holes) in order to keep the material from stretching and misaligning seams/edges, etc.
It seems to be strong enough for the purpose I used it for (bug bivy tops) and doesn't really fray, which is nice compared to the monolite material I have used for a couple other bivvies I made. I'm thinking of using painters tape to mark my seams on future projects to more accurately sew everything along the correct lines.

Noseeum Mesh
Fast shipping and precisely the best, cost effective product available. Ripstop does a great job correctly describing the product and stocking great material. Thanks and keep up the good work!

.5 oz mesh
Great purchase. Very light weight and takes up less volume than the mesh I used previously for my Fronkey hammock net.
C
Even better fabric than originally on the tent
This mesh is silky smooth, in contrast to the rough mesh already on the tent. Perfect for replacing existing panels or modifications for better air flow.

Great product delivered fast - no extra charge for the spam
I love the rip-stop poly and mesh screen and it delivered nice and fast. I did however start receiving almost daily ads via email. Fortunately the Unsubscribe button took care of the issue.

Tougher than it looks!
Tough stuff, but it’s also a little challenging to sew. Made a few fronkey style nets, and it worked great!

Works for me
I like this mesh because it is light, smooth feeling, and the edges don’t unravel after cutting.
