I have a very high tolerance for bugs.....except those in my tent. That being said I wouldn't be without this garment........it has served me well and is of extremely good quality. I often wear it when there are no bugs around.

My tripping pals have all purchased one and they use them out of necessity. One spring Algonquin trip I doubt we could of spent a week amongst the clouds of blackflies without one.

As per Westwoods suggestion of gloves I couldn't agree more......however I use fingerless fleece gloves instead of leather. The fleece is more comfortable and thick enough so the skeets can't bite through. Fingerless allows you the use of your hands to make breakfast PLUS I really like wearing them at night so my hands don't get cold. Occasionally a skeet finds your fingers but not to often.
