Pre-Shrunk Premium Heavy Duty Poly Cotton Jacket with Round Hat

The OZ Armour Pre-Shrunk Premium Heavy Duty Poly Cotton Jacket with Round Hat is designed for beekeepers who want durable upper-body coverage with a comfortable, practical fit for regular hive work. Made from 280 GSM poly-cotton, the jacket combines 65% cotton and 35% polyester with a pre-shrunk finish to help maintain a more consistent fit through regular use and washing.

Designed by OZ Armour, this jacket is a practical choice for Australian beekeepers who prefer separate upper-body protection that can be paired with suitable trousers for greater flexibility around the apiary.

Heavy-Duty Fabric with Added Ventilation

The poly-cotton construction provides a balance of durability, breathability and comfortable movement. Triple-layer mesh sections help encourage airflow around the body, making the jacket suitable for warmer days and longer periods working around the hive.

The reinforced construction is designed for repeated use, with twill-tape stitching and high stitch density adding strength in areas that experience regular movement. Reinforced pockets and knee areas provide additional durability during everyday apiary tasks.

Round Hat Veil for Clear Visibility

The traditional round hat veil provides space around the head and helps keep the viewing mesh away from the face and glasses. The patented hood insert helps maintain the depth of the veil, while strong metallic Italian mesh provides a clear viewing area when inspecting frames, checking brood or locating the queen.

An overlapping neck zipper and protective front zipper flap help cover the main openings, while the YKK zipper system is designed for smooth everyday use.

Love this suit! This is my second one

Love this suit! This is my second one. The first one I cut with my hive tool. Duct tape can only do so much to keep the bees out. This suit wears well. It allows air to flow to keep me as cool as possible in the hot days. Yet it’s protective. It washes well and holds its shape. It’s the best!

Really good quality suit - best one I’ve had

Really good quality suit
Great with the leg zips so a lot easier to put on and off
Good communication with the company

Daughter is just getting into beekeeping and currently using one of my old suits from a different maker and she has decided to get Oz Armour

Perfect and I feel completely safe from stings

Good veil and strong.

Good veil. Stays off your face and it is zippered in front. Nice for taking a drink without unzipping the whole thing.

I love this suit

I love this suit. It looks AMAZING. When I took it out of the box it felt HEAVY and I was worried that I would die in it. But it seems to be made of unicorn hair or something magical because it was so hot outside and I was almost...cool? This suit is incredible.

Mary Nisi

Very well made and an immediate difference in the apairy.

I absolutely love my Oz Armour bee suit. After having a few too many close encounters with some very feisty bees, I decided I was done messing around and wanted something I could actually trust.

This suit has been worth every penny. I’ve worn it while working hives that were actively coming at me, moving boxes, feeding, and doing inspections, and I feel so much more confident in it. The material feels incredibly protective without making it impossible to move around, the fit is great, and I love the visibility through the veil.

If you keep bees, especially bees with a little bit of an attitude, I highly recommend Oz Armour. 😂 I wish I had bought mine sooner.

Five stars from me. 🐝

Best suit ever!

They thought of everything when they made these suits. I purchased the jacket and pants separately. The first thing I noticed was how the hood zips onto the jacket. The zippers overlap. This ensures that there is no Gap between the zipper jacket and the hood. I've had other suits where bees got in that space and it was not a good day. And speaking of zippers, they are super easy to use. And they even put a little ribbon on the end of each zipper so you can grab a hold of it with your gloves on. The pants have zippers that go all the way up the sides of the legs so you can easily get them on and off over big boots. Plenty of pockets everywhere. And velcro around the ankles and the wrist so you can be sure to get a tight fit. They thought of everything. Highly recommend.

Great pants

Great pants. Added to the jacket I already had. Feel secure in the apiaries. One suggestion - add a loop in the back to hang pants on a hook.

Great fit

Great fit.
Comfortable to wear. A lot cooler than my last trousers, especially during this year's heatwaves.
No stings getting though the mesh so far🤞
