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.

Item will be EXACTLY as shown. Photo of actual product. I can usually bring it to meeting if you bring your old jacket... and I can test the fit and install on your old jacket.
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.
