OZBEE Beekeeping Suit Premium 3 Layer Mesh Ultra Cool Ventilated Hoodie Veil Beekeeping Protective Gear

OZBEE Premium 3 Layer Mesh Beekeeping Suit — Hoodie Veil

The same three layers of ventilated mesh as our round head suit, with a hood-style veil that folds back the moment you step away from the hive.

That one difference changes how the suit fits into your day. If you are moving between hives, checking a few colonies, stopping to do something else and coming back, you are not taking the whole suit off and putting it back on — the veil goes back and you are out of it. It also packs smaller, which matters if the suit lives in the ute.

Built by OZBEE in Gladstone, Queensland. Sizes 3XS to 5XL.

Free shipping is available on this suit. Select your suit size and optional gloves above to see the current total. Afterpay and Zip are available at checkout.

What makes this our Premium suit

OZBEE sells two 3 layer mesh suits. The mesh is the same on both. This one differs in the parts that actually fail:

• YKK brass zips on the body and legs, not plastic. Zips are the first thing to go on a bee suit.
• Double-stitched, reinforced seams — built for repeated washing and rough handling.
• Eleven sizes, 3XS to 5XL, against eight on our standard 3 layer mesh suit.

If those do not matter for your hive work, our standard 3 layer mesh hoodie suit is the same mesh construction at a lower price.

Key features

• 3 layer ultra cool mesh — air circulates through all three layers instead of being trapped against you
• Detachable fold-back hoodie veil — high-visibility mesh, Velcro and zip closure
• YKK brass zips — heavy duty, body and legs
• Double-stitched seams — reinforced throughout
• Tool pockets and key chain holder
• Elastic chin strap and leg seals — adjustable, to close the gaps bees find first
• Sizes 3XS to 5XL
• Unisex. Machine washable (suit only); veil is hand wash.

Who it suits

Beekeepers doing several short visits rather than one long session, working in and out of shade, or transporting and storing the suit regularly. The fold-back hood means the veil comes off your head without the suit coming off your body.

If your inspections run long in full sun and you want the widest field of view, look at our Premium 3 Layer Mesh Suit with Round Head Veil — same fabric, same protection, same price.

How to wear it

Put the suit on over your working clothes and zip it fully. Bring the hood up and secure it with the Velcro and zip, then adjust the chin elastic and leg seals until there are no gaps at your wrists or ankles. Fold the hood back when you step away from the hive.

After use, check the cuffs, ankles and veil zip. Detach the veil and hand wash it; machine wash the suit on its own with a mild detergent. Dry completely before storing.

Size Chart Guide

Measurements are of the garment, not your body — the suit is worn over your working clothes. Match your height to the length column first, then check the chest figure leaves room to bend and lift. Between sizes, go up.
