It is cooler and more comfortable than synthetic blends but far more sting-resistant than a thin shirt, so it suits keepers doing routine inspections in spring and fall when full mesh ventilation is not yet necessary. The attached veil saves you from buying and fitting a separate one, and the fencing style folds back off your face when you are not in the hive. For peak-summer work in hot, humid weather, a fully ventilated mesh suit will breathe better — see the alternatives below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits run to fit over light clothing.
