Never Be Stung Again
✅ These ventilated suits are the Safest Beekeeping Suits, impossible to get stung when worn properly
✅ 3 fabric layers create a 5mm gap Stopping Bee Stings from reaching your skin
✅ Meshed fabrics keep you Cool and Comfortable
This jacket's ventilated mesh has varying holes sizes. The outer mesh holes are very small to prevent a bees’ abdomen from getting through and their tiny legs getting caught on any lose fibers. The larger holes in the second layer improve airflow and the durable inner mesh increases the robustness and longevity of the jacket.
These three layers combined make this jacket incredibly breathable and sting proof. This jacket will even stop stings if you get it wet, making this the safest and most comfortable jacket we have ever produced.
With traditional style jackets, only one layer of fabric is used, so extra underclothing is normally needed to prevent stings. This single layer and the extra clothing can cause your body’s heat to get trapped, increasing the temperature inside the jacket. Not only is this very uncomfortable, it also increases the risk of dehydration and heatstroke on hot summer days. This is especially the case for those that have multiple hives and are very likely to spend long periods of time working at their apiary.
Move Comfortably
The design and shape of these jackets allow you to bend and move comfortably. As a lot of apiary work involves heavy lifting this puts constant strain on the jacktet and zippers. To help overcome this the cut and shape of this jakect is designed to be roomy allowing you to bend and move as needed.
Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha (YKK)
The use of Genuine YKK gunmetal zippers, which are 10 times stronger than brass or plastic, are used throughout this jacket. From the full length of the body to securing the veil. The reason for using metal zippers is that that they are very durable withstanding vertical and horizontal stretches preventing them from failing (the jacket opening expectantly) when excessive load is applied
Look Good & Stay Comfortable
A perfectly tailored jacket is not just timeless, it is seasonless too. It is all about the fabric, the mesh is key to not sweating through your jacket every time you wear it. This fabric is breathable, and light to wear in the summer where you look good and you stay comfortable.
Velcro seals along the zips at the top of the jackets front zipper are designed to overlap so that even a very determined bee can’t crawl through the gap normal found on traditional beekeeping jacket designs.
An addition Velcro flap is placed outside the front of the veil to help secure the closed zips with another Velcro seal inside the veil to make sure there are no bee size holes.
If you are fortunate to find a bee inside your veil as I have in the past with traditional jackets, don’t take your veil off, otherwise more bees will get in and sting you. Simply squash the bee against your head with your hand. One sting is better than many. Then leave your apiary, getting away from your bees, before removing your jacket.
This jacket comes with two non-flammable veils. One fencing and one round, so whatever your preference you will always have your preferred choice and a spare. Both veils are non-flammable, so unlike traditional veils that are made of nylon or cotton, these won’t readily catch fire should an accidental flame from your smoker or lighter contact it.
These veils mesh is very fine, with holes so small that even mosquitoes or tiny insects won't able to get through. Because the mesh is so fine and anti-glare, the vision through the veil in very soft and clear removing dazzling glare from the sun.
The mesh design to be rigged and free-standing, ensuring the veils always stand upright and away from your face. This improved visual prominence makes it easier for you to inspect your hives and spot queen, eggs and mites.
Each jacket is assembled by hand using traditional tailoring techniques, combined with thoughtful design and modern materials these jackets are truly unique and the safest we have ever made.
Enjoy your beekeeping journey, totally sting-free wearing a Zephyros Protect beekeeping jacket.

Answer. Though these can be convenient, the excessive use of zippers can also be a weakness.With an additional opening on the veil, there is the greater likely hood that these could open when attending your bees or not being fully closed when putting the jacket on, giving an opening for bees to get in.
After all the main purpose of a beekeeping jacket is to create a sealed and enclosed environment to prevent bees from having unimpeded access to your skin.
Answer. We recommend that you hand wash your jacket at 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius). Try not to wring it as this could cause the jacket to lose some of its shape.
It is also good practice to remove the veil and hand wash this separately so that you can take extra care of the veil's mesh and rim.
We do not recommend the jacket is tumble dried because if there are still wax or propolis deposits on the fabric the higher temperatures of the dryer may cause the wax to melt - leading to marks on your next load of clothes through the machine.
It is best to dry the jacket by hanging it on a strong plastic hanger and leaving it to air dry. This will help the jacket keep its shape and avoid any accidental damage.
The washing instructions can also be found in the collar label on your jacket for your convenience.
Answer. Yes, for bees and yellow jacket wasps when worn correctly. This is only so because of the 5mm thickness the three layers of fabric create when stitched together, which prevents a bee’s stinger from making contact with your skin.
However, if the jacket is not fastened correctly, (zippers closed fully, Velcro seals securely attached), then it would be possible for a bee to find its way inside the jacket and possibly sting you.
With or without a jacket, bees sting. So, your jacket will still be stung at times. So to make sure you can stay as sting-free as possible, it is recommended that you wear some light underclothing underneath your jacket, a pair of long sleeve gloves and knee-high boots.
We understand that choosing the right size is the hardest part of buying clothing. That is why we offer free returns or exchanges for a full 30 days after purchase.
To help you make the right choice before you buy, please read our sizing help guide and our sizing chart. In short; for best protection, your suit should be baggy and your gloves tight.
Not sure which color to order, don’t worry, just try your favorite color for 30 days. If you still don’t like it then return it within 30 days of purchase for a free exchange. Still in doubt then buy white.
