Khaki round brim bee veil for long days in the sun
When the veil on your bee suit starts to fade, fray or tear, the rest of the suit is usually still in good shape. This khaki round brim veil lets you replace only the worn part and get back to the hives without paying for a whole new outfit.
It's sold as the veil alone, with no jacket or suit included, and zips onto any OZ ARMOUR beekeeping suit or jacket. It suits beekeepers who prefer the classic round hat style, or anyone who wants a spare ready for the next tear.
Classic brim, all-round protection
The broad round brim keeps the mesh hanging well away from your face, ears and neck, so there's no point where it presses against your skin. That gap is what stops a sting from getting through.
Built-in hat, nothing extra to wear
The hat crown is part of the veil, so there's no need for a separate cap. Adjustable strings help it sit steady while you bend over hive boxes, and the brim shades your eyes so you can read frames clearly in strong midday light.
A 360° window on the apiary
With mesh all the way around, you can see in every direction without turning your whole body. That makes it easier to keep track of bees in the air, watch the hive entrance or work your way along a row of hives.
An easy swap when the old veil wears out
It fastens with the same heavy-duty zipper used on OZ ARMOUR suits and jackets, and one size fits all OZ ARMOUR adult gear. Khaki also hides propolis and smoke marks better than lighter shades, so it looks good for longer. At under forty dollars, it's a cheap way to keep your kit ready.

Is the suit in the photo part of this listing?
No. This listing is for the khaki round hat veil only. The suit is pictured to show the fit and is sold separately.
Which OZ ARMOUR gear does it fit?
Every OZ ARMOUR adult beekeeping suit and jacket. It attaches with the same heavy-duty zip the range uses, and one size fits all.
Could I fit it to a suit from a different brand?
It's not designed for that. Zips vary between brands, so a non-OZ ARMOUR suit may not line up properly. Check your zipper before buying.
Do I need to wear a cap under the brim?
No. The hat crown is built in, and adjustable strings help it sit steady on your head without anything extra underneath.
Does the brim keep the mesh off my neck?
Yes. The broad brim holds the mesh away from your face, ears and neck, so it never rests on your skin where a bee could sting through.
How good is the all-round view?
Mesh wraps the whole brim, giving you a 360-degree view. You can watch the hive entrance, the frames and bees in the air without turning your whole body.
Is it good for hot, sunny days?
It's well suited to them. The brim shades your eyes and face, and the breathable mesh lets air circulate while you work.
Why choose khaki over a lighter colour?
Khaki hides propolis, smoke and dirt better than pale shades, so the veil keeps a clean look for longer between washes.
Does it match OZ ARMOUR khaki suits?
It's designed to go with the OZ ARMOUR khaki range, though shades can vary slightly between batches and on screens.
How should I wash and store it?
Hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap and air dry out of the sun. Store it with the brim flat or hanging so it doesn't get crushed or bent out of shape.
