The OZBEE Premium suits run from 3XS to 5XL, which matters for two groups who are often left out: smaller adults and teenagers who are lost inside a size small, and larger beekeepers who cannot find a suit that closes properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit is not a comfort question. A suit pulled tight across the shoulders or knees puts fabric against the skin at exactly the moment a sting is most likely, and a suit that gapes at the wrists or ankles gives bees a way in. Both sizes of that problem are protection problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements on the size chart are for the garment, not the body, because the suit is worn over working clothes.

No suit is completely sting-proof. Anywhere the fabric is pulled tight against the skin, or where the mesh is damaged, a sting can still get through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose a round head or hoodie veil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the round head veil for a wide field of view and more space around the face during longer inspections. Choose the hoodie veil when you want a fold-back design for moving between hives and compact storage.

The measurements are for the garment, which is worn over working clothes. Match height first, then confirm the chest measurement leaves enough room to bend and lift.

The hood folds back off your head so you can step away from the hive without taking the suit off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs protection the same as the round head version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Both use the same three-layer ventilated mesh and the same construction. The veil shape differs; the fabric and the protection do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich is cooler in Australian summer, hoodie or round head?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAirflow through the body is identical — same mesh. The round head holds a larger air gap around your face, which some beekeepers prefer in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Premium and standard OZBEE 3 layer mesh suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYKK brass zips instead of plastic, double-stitched reinforced seams, and eleven sizes instead of eight. The mesh construction is the same on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan bees sting through a 3 layer mesh suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three layers hold the outer mesh away from your skin, which makes a sting far less likely to reach you than with single-layer fabric. No suit is completely sting-proof — anywhere the fabric is pulled tight against your skin, or where the mesh is damaged, a sting can still get through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the veil detachable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It comes off for washing and can be replaced on its own if the mesh is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachine wash the suit alone with mild detergent. Hand wash the detachable veil. Air dry both completely before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size should I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the size chart above. Measurements are of the garment, not your body. Match your height to the length column first, then check the chest figure leaves room to move. Between sizes, go up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying from OZBEE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOZBEE is an Australian-owned beekeeping supplier based in Gladstone, Queensland.
