Welcome Dave,
I chose the inexpensive Mann Lake suit without a veil. It has elastic at the ankles, wrists, and thumbs, plus an extra zipper that my husband informed me was a male feature. This allowed me to be more selective with the veil. The helmet & veil combo keeps the netting farther from my face. Most of the time I visit the hive wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and the helmet & veil.
