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.

Worn a few times around bees when helping delve into brood boxes and re-housing somewhat grumpy bees. I’m 6ft, (32 inch waist) and size large fits well. Combined with wellies and gloves I’ve yet to have a sting. I like the veil which stays in place without touching my face & has good visibility. There is a slight weight to the suit but lets air pass in a breeze, has chunky looped zips, plenty of pockets and the suit looks decent.
Delivered quicker than expected,
Thanks very much
Great suit! Comfy, cool on the one warm day we've had in S Wales and haven't been stung (yet)!
I am new to bee-keeping and asked experienced keepers their opinions, every one was different! I reviewed suits on line for a long time and finally settled on the swienty breeze which seemed to be a good balance between quality and price. So far, so good. It is comfortable to wear and although the weather hasn't been particularly warm the breeze blew though it nicely. It is a bit long in the leg but you can't expect a perfect fit, and better too long than too short.
The measuring guide video is a waste of time.
I looked on the market for some time, until I found this one. Due to the Welsh weather, I have only worn it twice! It fits perfectly, is very comfortable and is very good value for money.
Thank you.
This is very nice bee suit, well made and the veil is sort of spring loaded so is ridged and holds up away from your face, plus plenty of vecroed or zipped pockets and velcroed cuffs.
When sizing the suit it was a toss up between getting the XL or XXL size and i wasn’t exactly sure which one to get despite contacting Swienty directly, as on some measurements I came out as XL but on others I seemed to be more like XXL ( Im 184 cm tall with apparently slightly longer than normal arms, 18 stone and classic dad bod in shape ) so i called Gwenyn Gruffydd and luckily they suggested I go for the XXL which I did and it fits perfectly
