The mesh construction lets sweat evaporate and air move through, while still being dense enough that bees can't sting through. The included fencing veil gives you good clear forward visibility (better than a square veil for reading frames at arm's length) and zips on and off so you can remove it for travel or storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor full-body coverage including pants, layer this jacket with bee-safe trousers or pair with a full suit instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVeil is included.\u003c\/strong\u003e No need to buy separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePants not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a jacket only — for full-body protection, also wear bee-safe trousers, or order a full suit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Order your usual jacket size.

The fully ventilated mesh lets air move through, which makes a real difference during summer inspections.

Most beekeepers wear a t-shirt underneath in summer. The mesh is dense enough that bees can't sting directly through, but a layer underneath adds a small comfort margin during defensive inspections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's a fencing veil?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fencing veil zips onto the jacket and surrounds your head like a fencer's mask — clear mesh on all sides for full visibility while keeping bees off your face.
