PULLOVERS FEATURES

  • Standard-size veil featuring convenient front access.

  • The veil is attached securely to the suit, protecting you from curious bees.

  • Highly sting-resistant construction helps keep you cool, calm and protected.

  • Heavy-duty elastic at the wrist and waist helps protect you from wandering bees.

  • Durable metal zippers glide smoothly and stay secure, helping prevent snags while you work.

SUIT CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CHECK POCKETS

Ensure pockets are free of debris that could harm the fabric or lining.

PRE-TREAT STAINS

Apply a light pre-treatment to remove grass or dirt stains.

SECURE ALL CLOSURES

Zip or fasten any closures to keep them in place during washing.

HAND WASH + Machine wash

The body of the suit can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. The veil must be hand washed to preserve its structure and mesh quality. Both components should be air dried for best results.

AIR DRY

Hang the garment on a rack in a sunny spot instead of machine drying.

Why Beekeepers Upgrade to 3-Layer Protection

Traditional bee suits can offer protection, but often with less airflow . Here’s how our 3-layer suit compares.

Great Product, Slightly Expensive

The suit works as advertised and provides excellent protection. I would’ve rated it 5 stars if the price was a bit lower. However, I do believe the quality justifies the cost.

Good Quality, Size Chart Could Be Improved

I ordered the suit and it fits well, but I had to guess a bit with the sizing. The fit is comfortable, but an improved size chart would help customers make a better decision.

Impressive Protection and Comfort

The suit is really comfortable and gives me great protection from the bees. The only thing I would change is adding more ventilation on the legs. Otherwise, I’m happy with it!

Fantastic! I didn’t know what I was missing until now

Fantastic! I didn’t know what I was missing until now. It’s much cooler than my old suits but better protection.

Best bee suit

I have used two other bee suits, this one is by far the most breathable and cool. This combined with the three layer protection at the head piece connection makes it almost impossible to get through.

Haven’t had the opportunity to use the suit yet but looking forward to putting it to use as soon as the bees arrive!

After months of regular use, hard inspections, hive splits, and honey extractions my previous suit still holds up without any tears or fraying seams. I would recommend. Now i bought second for my wife. She is a beginner but i will train him.

I haven’t used my suit yet as I am a new beekeeper and am awaiting my 1st order of bees in April

I haven’t used my suit yet as I am a new beekeeper and am awaiting my 1st order of bees in April. I am optimistic about the ventilation in this suit as I live in south Texas and it gets quite hot. I took 1 star off because it seems smaller than expected. I am 5’5” 125lbs and ordered the small as it went up to 139lbs. If I gain more than a couple of lbs, this could become uncomfortable. I wish I had ordered size Medium but returning it back to Australia from the US for an Exchange would be very expensive and I don’t expect to gain weight.

Absolutely the BEST suit!

Hands down, the best suit for those summer days. The slightest breeze moved through the mesh easily, supplying a refreshing respite. I even experienced the cooling effect when I was simply walking!! Never buying anything else again.

Runs Large, Cooler/Ventilated, Good Protection

These run large. I bought the same size I have in other suits and this thing swamped me. I was around some very aggressive bees while taking off the honey super and the suit did well, no stings except for through the gloves.Pros* Not as hot as other suits due to being a mess rather than a solid canvas* Comes with a separate hat/hood to be worn by itself and not with the suit* cooler than most other suits* protected well from aggressive bees* very good Velcro over the zipper ends to cover all holes around the neck* hood was comfy and I could see wellCons*Velcro straps at the bottom of the pant legs is more difficult to get a tight seal vs an elastic band. This leaves the ancles a little more vulnerable than other suits*The suit runs large and the arms were beyond my fingertips and legs went past my toes so I had to bunch them up. This isn't that bad as a bunched suit is less like to have bee stings than a suit that is tighter to the skin or surface.*Gloves were thinner than others I've used and I did get a prick through the glove and 4-5 stingers left in the glovesI'm going to return this for a smaller size. I probably would not buy this again, but I'll see if I change my mind once I get a better size.

Its a nice suit

Just order it yesterday and it came in today. I gotta say the quality is better than I thought it would be. Im 6'1 225lb and I order a 2x and it fits perfectly. I went out and used it on a hive without smoke and in the middle of the fl heat, when they would be mad and had a lot trying to sting and not one got through. Oh and it's very cool and breezey

Nice fit. Cool fabric. Protects well and dual veils are awesome. Overall, suit is well made.

True to size. I'm 5'4" 180 lbs. Ordered large. Fits well. Ventilated fabric is wonderful. Makes harvesting on hot days much cooler. Suit seems well made though I wish it had more pockets. Dual veils are nice and easy to change out. Velcro on wrist and ankles makes for a secure fit without restricting range if motion. Gloves are a nice bonus if you like that style. Good buy for the money.

The best, most comfortable suit I have ever worn. I have a very aggressive hive, and I felt completely safe while they tried to kill me!!!

All around worth the price

Works well, let's lots of air in, comfortable, never used a fencing veil before and I like it better than my round veil. All closers work wellWould recommend it.

I'm loving it

I'm loving it. Slightest of breeze blows right through it and feels so much better than traditional suits in hot weather.

Works for me!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This probably says more about me than my bees, but I’ve been stung well over 100 x’s over the past three years alone (seriously!). I’ve always used a hooded bee jacket and gloves with regular jeans, but would still get the occasional sting here and there - a few instances of a couple dozen. This year I have a VERY defensive hive that swarms me anytime I begin to open the top. My last inspection, I was stung over 30 x’s on the torso as I leaned forward (didn’t have my jacket cinched tight enough…up they went! Afraid I will fall over due to anaphylactic shock one of these days, so I bought this suit. I couldn’t be happier! Yea, one sizing issue: I bought a large based on other reviews to size up. 5’ 8” 150#, rode up in the crotch a bit, if I was taller I’d probably have an issue, but the hood had much more room, seemed odd. Very roomy though, so if you’re wider, I don’t think you’d have an issue. Also glove fingers were a little snug, so if you have sausage fingers, this may become an issue…Pros - (1) loved the full body coverage. (2) double lined mesh everywhere to allow air flow but keep stingers out. (3) solid material is thick and padded knees. (4) extra velcro at the hood, wrists and knees…all bueno! All in all, very happy I upgraded! This is a solid option that worked for me. I inspected during 83 F with 65% humidity, did I sweat a little…yea…but when out in the open with a little breeze, it cut through the mesh and felt great!All of my bee buddies inspect without any coverage. Good for them, not me… I’ve learned my lesson - on any given day or year you may end up with a hive from hell like me and be glad you have this suit ready to go!

Love the triple mesh

I wish they would go back to the old style hip pockets, no velcro with a notch.

FAQ

If you work in hot weather or around more defensive bees, go with the 3-Layer Ventilated Suit. It gives you better airflow and added sting protection. For everyday beekeeping in milder weather, the Polycotton Suit is a comfortable, durable choice.

It can also be useful for jobs like wasp or hornet removal and other situations where you want extra protection from stinging insects.

Both styles can be used in different weather conditions. The 3-Layer Ventilated Suit is the better pick for hotter days because it allows more airflow, while the Polycotton Suit works well for mild weather and general hive work.

With normal use and a little care, it should hold up for several beekeeping seasons. We recommend a gentle wash and air drying to help keep the fabric, zippers, and elastic in good shape.

Yes. The veil is removable, so you don’t need to replace the whole suit if something happens to it. Just swap in a compatible replacement veil and you’re good to go.
