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 3^rd 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.

My First Beekeeping Suit

We chose this make as a) someone at our local apiary had the same make and b) it looked great value for money considering some of the options we looked at. It looks very well made, the fit was true to size, although for a woman a bit long in the leg (having said that there is no chance a bee is getting inside the suit legs when tucked into my boots). It has 3 layers and I felt confident in it, a bee would certainly have trouble stinging you through it. There is plenty of room for movement and I particulary like the toggle string at the waist on the inside and also the design of the veil. It's first outing served me well and I reckon it will last for a good while. I'm glad I invested that bit extra for the comfort and protection.

Lovely fit and cool

Perfect fit, had an XL and I’m 6’2” and athletic build. Highly recommend this for its fit and comfort in the warm weather. Great service too from Gwenyn and Gruffydd

Squinty Breeze

My previous suit waa a standard Swienty purchased about 10 years ago and it has served me very well, but is a little tired after heavy use. I have been surprised by how well the mesh fabric of the Breeze performs with lively colonies. They can’t sting into the mesh into (unlike normal cotton fabric), so there are no sting scents circulating and the other guard bees are not attracted. It makes inspections much more relaxed! The Thomas gloves seem good, but the fingers are too long, so I am awaiting a replacement pair.

Fantastic Quality

I am so impressed with the quality of this suit, I had bought a suit from elsewhere that was very tight for me so gave that to my wife. This Swienty was double the price but well worth it. The finish of the stitching zips and vail are so well made. Being short and fat 5’6” and XL the body and arms are just perfect however the leg length is approx. 18 cm too long so had to gather it up. I will get a seamstress to shorten the length well worth the bother I feel. The gather makes it a bit hot on the legs and potential for the bee to hind in the crevis. I have the same problem with all clothing so not going the mark this great product down for the size. Not sure if there is a talor made version, would be a good idea.
