UltraBreeze vs. Golden Bee Full Suits

No it doesn't come in the breeze material. I can't find anywhere to buy it at all anymore. I just wish someone else would make it because the visibility looks awesome.

I agree...

I actually have an Ultra-Breeze jacket. I think this is the third year. My only complaint is take care not to hang it on a stray nail head and pick it.

I also have 2 Mann Lake vented suits. One for me that is about 6 years old and 2 years ago I bought one for my wife. My only complaint is that the elastic around the wrists and waist. I just need to tighten them up a little.

I have heard of others which have the same complaint about the elastic. My jacket is only a year old, so far so good. Just as good as new. I am thinking if this problem pops up, I will add velcro as a substitute. Jim where do you store your suit when not in use?

Phillip,
I normally store mine hanging up in the garage but it stays in my truck right now for swarm/bee removal calls.

I have yet to take a sting though my ultra breeze. It might change one day but as of now it has been string proof. It is great to feel the air move through the suit as you walk. It is the only way to be able to wear a suit int he Deep South

>Here is the new kid on the block

I have one of those too... and they are similar quality with a veil that unzips as well...

I have had my Golden Bee suit for about 6 months and want to provide a quick review. Short answer - never been stung! This is amazing. On hot days, I have only worn shorts and nothing else. Nice and cool and no stings. Quality construction and custom made for you. They ask for your measurements so as they allow a loose fitting suit when you bend over. Good zippers with velcro covers where they meet.

They advertise it as, "Stingless". I was very leary of such a claim, but it is true. I found out this is the suit that the Fire Dept and County Ag buys. The company is small and super friendly.
Can't say anything I would like to change or improve upon. It just works.
