thinking of a new ventilated one any info will help.

Both work.    Both have been heavily discussed on the forum.   Pick the one you like at the right price.    Ultrabreeze or Golden bee.  Both vented.   Both work.   Vented jackets are the way to go in the summer time.

Oh, ya.    http://goldenbeeproducts.com/    and http://ultrabreezesuits.com/  
You might want these links.   And I do use the Ultrabreeze jacket most of the time.

After sweating all summer I broke down and got a jacket from Golden bee. I have used it and it is great but must wait until the heat of next summer to really get the full benefit from it.  -Mike

Listen to others but make your own decisions. That way you own the results.

Please remember to read labels.

I use an ultra breeze when it's hot out and a Dadant econo jacket when it's cool.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

In Mississippi you're going to want the vented suit for most of the year.  I need one anytime it's over 80F  if I'm going to be working more than  an hour.   For folks in the North it may be a close decision but for you it's a no brainer.

Agree - I have an ultrabreeze and love it, since here temps can be in 80s from June to October.
The bees would be no help; they would tumble over each other like golden babies and thrum wordlessly on the subjects of queens and sex and pollen-gluey feet. -Palimpsest
