The full-body version of our top-tier ventilated jacket — triple-layer mesh head to ankle, with 18-inch YKK leg zippers that let you pull it on over boots without a fight. Built for keepers who want the most coverage and the most airflow at once: the spaced mesh sheds heat while keeping stingers off skin, and the detachable Italian-mesh veil keeps your view clear. Sized XS through 5XL.

Features

  • Triple-layer ventilated mesh — full-body airflow with sting protection
  • 18-inch YKK leg zippers — easy on and off, even over boots
  • Detachable veil with Italian mesh for clear visibility
  • Elasticated cuffs and ankles to seal against bees
  • Heavy-duty zippers, Velcro fastenings, reinforced seams
  • Multiple pockets for hive tool and small gear
  • Nine sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL

How it works (in real life)

If the Triple Layer jacket is the upgrade pick for the upper body, this is the same thinking applied head to ankle. The triple-layer mesh ventilates through the gap between layers, so you stay cooler than you would in a solid suit while the weave keeps bees from reaching skin. The detail that sets it apart from other mesh suits is the leg zipper length — 18-inch YKK zippers run far enough up each leg that you can step in with your boots already on instead of wrestling the cuffs over them. The veil detaches at the zipper for washing or replacement. For upper-body-only coverage in the same fabric, the matching jacket is the lighter option.

FAQ

What makes the leg zippers different?
They're 18-inch YKK zippers that run well up each leg, so you can pull the suit on over boots instead of forcing the cuffs past them. It's a real time-saver getting in and out.

How is this different from the jacket?
The suit is full-body, head to ankle. The jacket covers the upper body only. Pick the suit for complete coverage; pick the jacket if you already have pants.

Can I wear it in hot weather?
Yes — the triple-layer ventilation is built for it. Air moves through the mesh while the weave keeps bees out.

Is the veil detachable?
Yes — it unzips for cleaning or replacement, and the Italian mesh keeps the view clear.

How do I clean it?
Remove the veil, machine wash, and air dry.
