Poly Cotton Semi-Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket with Round Hat Veil
The OZ Armour Poly Cotton Semi-Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket with Round Hat Veil is designed for beekeepers who want durable upper-body coverage with added ventilation during regular hive work. Its poly-cotton construction is combined with three-layer mesh to encourage airflow, making it a practical choice for warmer days and longer periods around the apiary.
Designed by OZ Armour, this jacket gives beekeepers the flexibility of separate upper-body protection that can be paired with suitable trousers. It is well suited to backyard beekeepers, hobbyists and experienced apiarists carrying out inspections and routine colony management.
Durable Fabric with Targeted Ventilation
The semi-ventilated design combines durable poly-cotton fabric with breathable mesh sections. The three-layer mesh construction allows air to circulate around the body while maintaining separation between the wearer and the outside of the jacket.
This balance makes the jacket useful for checking brood, handling frames, feeding colonies, locating the queen and carrying out general hive maintenance. Reinforced stitching and strengthened areas also help it cope with the repeated movement involved in everyday apiary work.
Round Hat Veil for a Wider Field of View
The round hat veil provides space around the head and helps keep the mesh away from the face and glasses. Its broad shape gives a comfortable viewing area when inspecting frames or monitoring activity around an open hive.
The hood features a patented insert designed to maintain its depth, while strong metallic Italian mesh provides a durable viewing surface. The veil attaches to the jacket with a zip and can be removed when required.
