Pro Suit Ventilated Swienty Breeze

SKU: SY8230

Swienty Breeze Protector Suit
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
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. 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. Safe for you, your bees and the nature.
