This one is 100% cotton, comes in nine unisex sizes from S to 6XL, and lets you choose a fencing veil or a round hat veil, with matching gloves as an add-on. It is the most affordable full-body option and the suit most beginners start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose a cotton bee suit over a ventilated one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton is lighter on the wallet, washes easily and softens with use.
