Pink Poly-Cotton Semi-Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket – Comfortable Protection with a Distinctive Style

The Mellifera Pink Poly-Cotton Semi-Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket combines durable protective coverage with targeted ventilation and a distinctive soft pink finish.

Designed for beekeepers who want more airflow than a traditional solid jacket without moving to a fully ventilated mesh design, this jacket uses a tightly woven poly-cotton body with strategically positioned mesh cooling panels. The result is a versatile balance of durability, breathability, and comfort for changing seasonal conditions.

The complete set includes two removable veil styles and long-cuff ventilated leather-palm beekeeping gloves, providing a practical upper-body protective solution straight out of the box.

Hybrid Poly-Cotton & Ventilated Mesh Construction

The jacket combines solid poly-cotton and breathable mesh to provide protection and ventilation where each is most useful.

Durable poly-cotton fabric forms the main body of the jacket, while fine mesh ventilation panels positioned under the arms and across the upper back improve airflow in areas where body heat commonly builds up.

This semi-ventilated construction offers a comfortable middle ground between traditional solid-fabric jackets and fully ventilated mesh designs.

Strategic Cooling for Changing Temperatures

Active hive inspections can quickly generate heat, particularly around the underarms and upper back.

Strategically positioned mesh cooling panels help release trapped heat and improve air circulation while retaining solid poly-cotton coverage across the majority of the jacket.

This makes the jacket suitable for changing conditions, from cooler spring mornings to warmer summer afternoons.

Distinctive Soft Pink Finish

The soft pink finish provides an attractive and easily recognizable alternative to traditional white or khaki beekeeping clothing.

Its distinctive appearance makes the jacket particularly easy to identify in shared apiaries, beekeeping clubs, training courses, and family hive setups, while retaining the practical construction required for regular hive work.

Extensive Sizing Starting at XXS

Finding protective clothing in smaller sizes can be difficult, which is why this jacket starts at XXS and extends through 10XL.

Additional Stout and Tall Slim options accommodate different heights and body proportions, making the jacket suitable for women, smaller-framed beekeepers, and anyone who needs sizing beyond conventional standard cuts.

The broad size selection helps provide comfortable movement without relying on unnecessarily oversized protective clothing.

Two Removable Veils Included

Every jacket includes two interchangeable veil styles for greater flexibility during hive work.

The 360° round veil provides spacious all-around visibility and comfortable separation around the face.

The fencing veil offers a closer profile and features a convenient flip-open front for easy access when required.

Both veils are fully removable and washable for straightforward cleaning and maintenance.

Ventilated Beekeeping Gloves Included

The jacket comes complete with long-cuff ventilated beekeeping gloves featuring soft leather palms.

The leather palms provide practical protection and grip when handling frames and hive equipment, while the extended ventilated cuffs provide additional forearm coverage while maintaining airflow.

Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers

Heavy-duty YKK zippers provide durable closures and secure attachment around the veil system.

Designed for repeated use, the zipper construction allows convenient opening and closing while helping maintain dependable coverage around important closure areas during hive inspections.

Elasticated Wrist Cuffs with Thumb Holes

Elasticated wrist cuffs help provide a secure transition between the jacket sleeves and gloves.

Integrated thumb holes help keep the sleeves correctly positioned while lifting frames, reaching into brood boxes, bending, or completing other active hive tasks.

Reinforced for Regular Apiary Use

Key stress areas are reinforced to help the jacket withstand the repeated movement associated with regular beekeeping.

Strengthened stitching around the shoulders, cuffs, and other high-stress seams provides additional durability for seasonal inspections, honey harvesting, and everyday colony maintenance.

Convenient Zippered Storage

Practical chest and side zippered pockets provide convenient storage for frequently used essentials, including:

• Mobile phone
• Hive tool
• Queen marker
• Small personal items
• Other compact beekeeping accessories

The pockets are positioned for easy access without unnecessarily restricting movement around the hive.

A Practical Balance of Airflow & Durability

The semi-ventilated construction provides an effective compromise for beekeepers who find solid poly-cotton too warm but don’t require the maximum airflow of a completely mesh jacket.

Solid poly-cotton provides durable coverage and additional wind protection, while strategically placed mesh panels increase ventilation where it’s most beneficial.

This versatility makes the jacket suitable for regular use across a broad part of the beekeeping season.

21 Size Options for a Better Fit

The Pink Poly-Cotton Semi-Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket is available in 21 size options.

Standard sizing ranges from XXS through 10XL, with dedicated Stout and Tall Slim cuts available for different body proportions.

The extensive size selection makes it easier for beekeepers of different builds to find a comfortable fit with sufficient room for natural movement.

• Women and smaller-framed beekeepers
• Beginner and experienced beekeepers
• Backyard and hobby apiaries

Care & Maintenance

Remove both veils before washing. Machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle without bleach, then allow it to air dry naturally in the shade and away from excessive heat.

Avoid bleach and high-temperature drying, as these can affect the poly-cotton fabric, mesh panels, elastic components, and appearance of the pink finish.

Clean the gloves separately with a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally. Do not machine wash leather components.

Regular cleaning helps remove propolis, honey, smoker residue, dirt, and other materials accumulated during normal hive work.
