Anybody tried the ventilated suits sold by old castle farm bees? I fancy trying one of their jackets to see if it helps in the hot sun but I don't want to splash out on one if it doesn't (a) work well and (b) last
Friend bought one, was very impressed, after placing the order got a phone call from the supplier checking measurements and veil type. I have a different mesh suit; they do work so long as there is a light breeze.
I had an email from Castle Farms basically offering "sale or return", I have not yet taken them up on it but will do shortly. Suggest you talk with them and perhaps reach some agreement. Their video seems fairly convincing.
My mate has a full suit and is very happy with it. The veil is particularly good, better clarity than the Oz Armour or BBwear, you don't notice the mesh at all.
