BEEKEEPING JACKETS

General Info:  These are lightweight jackets that I personally find them ALL to be very well-made and durable.  These are fully zippered (up-the-front & around removable hood).  All the veils have same length/size zippers that interchange with most hoods (and often interchange with round-style hoods).  I no longer use round hood veils (I prefer these fencing style hoods and are the only style I choose to sell and recommend).  The hood is removable (tricky for some people, but I have instructions and doesn't require modifications to remove, nor to install... once you know how it is done).  The zippers and pulls are well-made.  The view is very clear... easy to see out and the mesh is high-quality/sturdy.  They all have a tailored-like fit with elastic waist and wrists.  Non are pullover (like cheaper versions).  Be careful... I've used pull-over versions because they were more inexpensive, but found it a big hassle to pull-over instead of simply zipping open the front... or zipping just the hood and folding it back for fresh air when I'm over-heating and no longer requiring protection from the bees.

QUESTION:  So what are the major differences in the jackets I offer/recommend?

ANSWER:  SIZE & AVAILABILITY, POCKETS (Number & Location), BRAND/LOGO or NO Branding/Logo.  Read descriptions and study photos for these differences.

Item will be EXACTLY as shown.  Photo of actual product.  I can usually bring both XL and XXL to meeting to check your fit... or you can try on my XXL. 

Typically these are available and I can order more, so availability is usually better on these XL & XXL than smaller jackets.

Professional Beekeeping Double Chest Pockets (No Logo) Jacket with Removable Fencing-Style Hood Veil
$39.00 (XL, XXL) Plus Sales Tax

This 2-pocket jacket is only available in two sizes:  Extra Large & Double Extra Large.  I feel that the size runs a tiny bit small (unless I am gaining weight).  I normally use XL for jackets, but XL was a little tight, however, the XXL fits me perfectly (the XXL is what I am wearing in the photos)

If you need smaller sizes, then see other jackets offered lower on this page.  Other jackets will have differences (more pockets, visible brand, etc.), but smaller size choices, limited availability/quantities, etc.

PURPOSE:  Why would i ever need this!?  Well... often veils only last 2 or 3 years and you are left with a jacket that is perfectly fine, but just really could use a better veil... or you may want the versatility of having both a round hat-style veil that can be switched/swapped out with the fencing style veil... or you just want to abandon the big round hat-style veil and upgrade to a fencing style veil.

Replacement (and/or) Upgrade Zippered Removable Fencing-Style Hood Veil
$30.00 (One Size Fits Most)  Plus Sales Tax

This hood has one continuous zipper with two opposing zipper pulls (with handy, easy-to find by feeling, finger insert rings).  It has fit all my jackets (old & new) regardless of brand with the exception of one of my old jackets which had a deliberate break/separation at the back of the neck rather than one continuous zipper path/route, hence it would have needed two half-circle zippers and not the single, continuous zipper of this replacement veil.  Sometimes your jacket's Velcro may be opposite (female fuzz rather than male latch hooks), which means the front zipper cover flap doesn't stick down.
