For years we have been using a bee suit designed by Golden Bee Products out of Louisiana. The suit is bee proof and cool and is a uni-body design with a hood that zippers on the main suit. The last ones we recieved, however, were a different design. The hood attaches with a single zipper instead of two zippers that meet at the chest. The flaw in this design is that the hood, when open does not flip behind you but rather to the side. (which is very annoying) Also the face screen is a light plastic material that has very poor visibility in indirect light situations and is not very durable.
Long story short I am looking for a similar suit. I remember at one time there were posts on bee source with links to someone who was making an improved version of these suits. Any info on these would be very helpful.

I have one from Mann Lake that has the english style veil and has 2 zippers with large pulls on it to make it easy to grab with gloves on.
I am very happy with it so far.
