Reinforced ventilated beekeeping jacket with round veil

When the heat kicks in and you’ve got inspections back to back, the last thing you want is to cook inside your suit. This jacket is built for those apiary days when you need real airflow, but you can’t afford to be exposed the moment you brush past brambles, reeds, or rough vegetation.

The key is the ventilated body: a high-density special foam that lets air move through while keeping solid protection. Ideal for spring and summer, or yards where temperatures climb fast. Just being straight with you: the ventilated section is more delicate than traditional heavy fabric. If you snag it on thorns or wire, it can tear if you’re not careful.

That’s why the high-wear areas are reinforced with tougher fabric: arms and lower hem. Those are the parts that take the hits, rub against boxes and lids, and catch on vegetation. The result is better durability in real use, without giving up the comfort of a ventilated torso.

The round veil gives you good visibility and proper distance from your face, and the jacket covers down to the waist, perfect if you work with beekeeper trousers or want something lighter and quicker than a full suit.

Field tip: in rough yards with brambles, ventilation is a game-changer… but don’t drag yourself through vegetation and keep the outside free of snags (hooks, sharp points, wire).
