I have the jacket from dadant.  It's ok, easy to put on in a hurry.   Mine is not too white anymore though.   Also, it gets hot in a hurry in the summer, when I wear it.

I got a Ultrabreeze suit for Christmas.  I'm extra sensitive to bee stings so I like the protection it provides.  Overall, I love it.  A little costly but well made and I love the fact that it is extremely comfortable in hot climate's.  You can wear as much or as little clothing beneath it as you want.

brushy mountain master bee suit with zip on vail. awsome.
my other suit is from dadant with a zip on vail works great too

I have the Mann Lake suit. Works great, but it is hot here in the south. Order one larger than you wear so it fits loose. That will make it easier get in and out of.

I LOVE my ultra breeze jacket... that is my favorite suit.  My next is a cotton jacket with veil from www.beeworks.com.

I have an Ultra Breeze suit and I LOVE IT.  I haven't been stung with it yet and I just helped with a cutout yesterday and was in my suit for 3 hours.  I didn't even get hot and in my old jacket I would have been sweating buckets, even this time of year.

Because I'm a large person I got this: http://www.beecare.com/indexDynFrames.htm?http://www.beecare.com/Navigation/SideNavFrame.htm&0   
I've had it for six years and it's held up better than expected.

OOOO Woodchopper, thanks so much! what perfect timing. My husband is a.. um.. good eater ;) and I was just looking for somewhere to outfit him. If anyone has an idea of where to get good 'girly hand' small gloves, I would love to know.

Look into nitrile gloves.  They come in smaller sizes.  I have been using nitrile for over a year now and like sooooo much better than the leather gloves.  The bees can't sting through them unless you squeeze a bee but the same is true for the big leather gloves.
