OZ ARMOUR Khaki Fencing Bee Veil - Spare Veil Only

Khaki fencing bee veil made for close hive inspections

Most beekeepers find the veil wears out long before the rest of their suit. Smoke, propolis, sun and the occasional snag take their toll on the mesh first, while the jacket is still going strong. Rather than replacing the lot, swap in this khaki fencing veil and keep working.

This is the OZ ARMOUR khaki fencing veil on its own, with no suit or jacket included. It zips onto any OZ ARMOUR beekeeping suit or jacket, making it a hard-wearing replacement or a reliable backup for busy weeks in the apiary.

Flip it open between hives

A front opening lets you unzip the veil and fold it back over your head while the jacket stays on. Grab a drink, take a call or have a proper conversation, then zip it closed again before you open the next box.

Room between your face and the mesh

The structured fencing shape holds the mesh away from your face, leaving space so a bee on the outside can't reach your skin. Its angled front also gives you a broad, clear look down into the brood box when you're searching for the queen or checking eggs and larvae.

Same zip, same fit, no fuss

It fastens with a heavy-duty zipper that matches OZ ARMOUR jackets and suits, so it lines up the same way your original veil did. Breathable mesh keeps air moving on warm days, and adjustable strings let you fine-tune the fit. One size fits all OZ ARMOUR adult gear.

Khaki that keeps working when it gets grubby

Khaki hides propolis stains and smoke marks far better than lighter colours, so the veil keeps looking tidy through a hard season. It's a natural match for the OZ ARMOUR khaki range, and at under forty dollars it's an easy spare to keep in the ute or the shed.

Does this listing include the khaki suit shown?

No. This is the khaki fencing veil by itself. The suit in the photo shows how the veil sits when fitted and is sold separately.

Will it fit an older OZ ARMOUR suit?

Yes. OZ ARMOUR uses the same heavy-duty zip system across its adult suits and jackets, so this veil fits older and newer models alike.

Can I use it with another brand's suit?

It's designed for OZ ARMOUR gear only. Other brands use different zip sizes and positions, so a secure fit can't be guaranteed.

Can I open the veil without taking my jacket off?

Yes. The front opening unzips so you can fold the veil back over your head, then zip it shut again in seconds when you return to the hive.

Does the mesh touch my face?

No. The fencing shape holds the mesh away from your face, which leaves a gap a bee can't sting across.

Is a fencing veil good for close inspections?

Very. Its angled front gives a wide, clear view down into the brood box, which helps when you're spotting the queen or checking brood.

Will it match my khaki OZ ARMOUR suit?

It's designed to pair with the OZ ARMOUR khaki range. Slight shade differences can occur between batches and on different screens.

Does khaki show dirt?

Much less than lighter colours. Propolis stains and smoke marks blend in, so the veil stays looking tidy through a busy season.

How do I get a snug fit?

The veil is one size and comes with adjustable strings. Zip it on, then tighten the strings until it sits evenly without pulling the mesh in.

What's the best way to clean it?

Hand wash in cool water with mild soap and let it air dry out of direct sunlight. Skip the washing machine and dryer, and don't wring the mesh.
