Vented Swienty Breeze Protector Beekeeping Suit
Vented Swienty Breeze Protector Suit
Our Breeze Protector Suit is a ventilated lightweight suit, that is designed to be more comfortable in warm weather, but still have a high durability.
The suit is made up of three layers: Two layers of ventilated fabric and one thick layer of ventilated mesh, so the bees sting can’t reach the body. The suit is made to last many years, and as always, we have focused 100 % on quality, comfort, safety and sustainability.
New hat design
The unique hat design with an extra strong veil gives you the best protection of the face, without the hat sliding back and forth on the head. This is achieved by the innovative shape, that makes the hat rest on the shoulders instead of hanging on the head.
The flame-resistant veil is very stiff, which creates a good space around the ears, and gives a better view. The hat can of course be folded back or taken off completely.
Professionally tested
Here at Swienty, our main focus is quality and having products that are the best for you and the nature.
Besides being CE-Certified in category 2, meaning that this clothing is officially approved for working with bees, the suits have been professionally tested by an accredited 3rd party test lab.
Our Breeze clothing contains no polluting materials like cadmium, lead, mercury or chromium, or any types of endocrine disruptors, such as e.g. flame-retardant bromides or softening phthalates.
This means that our Breeze clothing is safe for you, your bees and the nature.

For us, these are the best. Hardwearing, ventilated, and the veil is stiff so it stays away from the face. The only downside is driving, as the veil gets in the way a bit - but on balance we really like these.
How have I managed without the Swienty suit until now?!
No stings through this suit, veil and hood perfect and light enough for all aspects of beekeeping.
Worth every penny!
Good product, have never been stung through it, and very happy;
Great suit. It has yet to be tried in my apiary but it fits us both well. My wife is 5’ 1” and the small suit fits her fine. I am 5’7” so I need a large which inevitably is too long in the leg. At first try on it is heavier than my other suits but I am hoping it will be cooler. The veil feels good and stands off my face. However, it’s fixed shape means it is more difficult to hang and store. Not sure about driving with it yet. The customer service has been excellent. My wife’s suit was exchanged very easily and we were given helpful advice regarding sizing.
This suit offers excellent protection from bee stings while keeping you cool in the hotter months. While nearly twice the price of many offerings available now, it is well constructed with durable YKK zips. Visibility is good.
Inevitably it is heavier than basic cotton/ polyester suits. For me the large size fitted well, ( I’m 5 10”) but the legs were disproportionately long.
