Substitute for GloryBee "brazilian mesh" suit?
Last year my wife and I purchased a GloryBee "brazilian mesh" suit. It is very nice since it is light-weight, airy, and sting-proof. We would like to purchase another suit but unfortunately they have stopped selling the suit (except for the small size). Does anyone know of a good substitute for such a suit? I do know that magnet-man has re-started production of his suit which would be a good replacement ... so long as MM can keep up production. Any other leads would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for the responses so far
Grimbee: That bug baffler, while looking like it will be cool, doesn't seem like it would keep away hordes of bees. So I am going to skip on it but thanks for the suggestion.
Magnet-Man: I actually haven't called up GloryBee to see why they are slowly phasing out the suit. When I went on-line to order one at the end of last season, I noticed that they had the suits on-sale and in a limited size selection (x-small to x-large ... but I wanted an xx-large.) Thinking that they might be having supplier problems and not being in a rush I just decided to wait for a while. Now they have only one size left. :-( So it seems obvious that they have given up on the suit but I am not sure why.
BGHoney. I'll give Lemonine at Golden Bee a call but given the poor response as per a recent thread I suspect that this may be a dead-end.
Lee Womack: The Brushy Mountain suit looks nice but it also looks like almost every other cotton suit I have seen and it will be hot in the summer. The really nice thing about the GloryBee suit is that I can go out in my underwear and t-shirt and not be stung while having (if there is one) a breeze cool me down. Yes, I know that image is probably grossing a lot of people out -- sorry! :eek: Anyway, thanks for the tip.
