A cool, breathable beekeeping jacket built for hot-weather hive work. The three-layer ventilated mesh adds a barrier of protection against stings while letting air flow around you, so you stay comfortable through long inspections. Choose your veil — fencing or round hat — and add gloves if you need them.
What's included
- 3-layer ventilated mesh beekeeping jacket with attached veil
- Your choice of fencing veil or round hat veil
- Optional gloves add-on at checkout
Why beekeepers choose it
Standard cotton suits get hot fast. The ventilated three-layer mesh keeps air moving so you stay cooler in summer, while the mesh layer adds a barrier that helps reduce the chance of a sting. Pick the veil that suits how you like to work, in sizes from S to 6XL — good for backyard hobbyists and commercial beekeepers alike.

- Triple-layer ventilated mesh — cooler than solid cotton
- Soft poly-cotton inner and outer layers, with a mesh layer between for added sting protection

Frequently asked questions
Will it stop me getting stung?
No suit or jacket is fully sting-proof, but the ventilated mesh adds a barrier that helps reduce the chance of a sting. Wearing a light layer underneath adds extra protection.
Fencing veil or round hat veil — what's the difference?
A fencing veil zips to the jacket and sits close to the head; a round hat veil uses a brimmed hat to hold the mesh away from your face. Both give clear visibility — it comes down to preference.
Which size should I choose?
Size by height using the chart above. If you're between sizes or plan to layer underneath, size up.
Does it include gloves?
Only if you select the gloves add-on at checkout.
Can I machine wash it?
Hand wash and air dry only — no dryer, bleach or ironing.
Is it cooler than a cotton suit?
Yes — the ventilated mesh lets air circulate, so it's noticeably cooler in hot weather than solid cotton.
