I think I have it narrowed down. I have a bad habit sometimes of over researching and over thinking purchases...but I hate wasting my money. So I am looking at jacket/veil combos from Brushy Mountain, Dadant, and Betterbee. Has anyone owned or used two or all three company's jackets to be able to compare? Even if just one...your thoughts? Dadant and Betterbee prices are very close. Brushy Mountain ends up being a bit more (by about $30) but if it is the better one I don't mind paying for quality. Here are links to what I am looking at from each company....

Also I am open to suggestions. The Dadant and Betterbee are $60 and $50 respectively and the BM comes to $83 so if there is better stuff at the same price points I am all ears. Thanks for any help I can get...I am very excited to finally be at the point I can start ordering some gear.
