OZ ARMOUR Pre Shrunk Poly Cotton Beekeeping Suit With Fencing Veil

OZ Armour Pre-Shrunk Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit with Fencing Veil

Work around your hives with greater confidence in the OZ Armour Pre-Shrunk Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit with Fencing Veil. Designed by experienced Australian beekeepers, this heavy-duty full-body suit combines practical protection, dependable materials and thoughtful features for regular apiary work.

The breathable poly-cotton fabric provides comfortable coverage for hive inspections, colony management, honey harvesting and general maintenance. Its pre-shrunk construction helps minimise further shrinkage when the garment is cared for according to the washing instructions, supporting a more consistent fit over time.

Suitable for beginners, hobbyists and experienced apiarists, this suit is a practical choice for anyone seeking durable protective clothing from a trusted Australian beekeeping brand.

Heavy-Duty Poly-Cotton Protection

The suit is made from strong poly-cotton fabric that creates a protective barrier between the beekeeper and the colony. The material balances durability with breathability, helping you remain comfortable and mobile while working around active hives.

Although no beekeeping garment can guarantee that every sting will be prevented, wearing the correct size, fully closing the zippers and checking all entry points before approaching your bees can significantly reduce the risk of exposure.

Spacious Fencing Veil with Clear Visibility

The detachable fencing veil provides reliable facial coverage while maintaining a clear forward view. Its structured design keeps the mesh positioned away from the nose, face and glasses, giving you more space and comfort during longer inspections.

Strong metallic Italian mesh is used to provide durability and visibility. The front-opening veil also allows easier access when you need to adjust your glasses or take a drink without completely removing the hood.

Overlapping neck zippers help cover a common entry point, while the protective zipper flap adds another layer of security around the front closure.

Easy to Put On and Remove

Leg-high zippers make the suit easier to wear over clothing and work boots. This practical design reduces the effort required to get ready for an inspection and makes the suit quicker to remove once your apiary work is complete.

Elasticated sections and adjustable hook-and-loop closures at the wrists and ankles help create a secure fit. These closures also assist in keeping sleeves and trouser legs in position as you bend, kneel and move around your hives.

Reliable YKK Zippers and Double Sliders

Smooth YKK nylon zippers are used throughout the suit for dependable everyday operation. Nylon zippers are less prone to stiffness and corrosion than many traditional metal alternatives, making them well suited to outdoor beekeeping conditions.

Double sliders on the front and leg zippers provide convenient access to the pockets of the clothing worn underneath. They also make bathroom breaks easier without requiring you to remove the entire suit.

Reinforced for Regular Apiary Work

Pockets and knee areas experience considerable wear during beekeeping, particularly when carrying tools, lifting hive components or kneeling beside brood boxes. This suit features reinforced pocket and knee sections to improve durability in these high-use areas.

A high stitch-per-inch construction supports seam strength, while reinforced twill-tape stitching helps protect important joins and extend the working life of the garment.
