Mann lake vented bee suit
« on: May 03, 2012, 12:06:45 am »
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this suit.

Looking to get a suit, and for the price it looks good.

Just wanted to see if it is worth it, or if I should pony up for the more expensive suit from other
retailer.

 Thanks

It is my understanding that the Mann Lake suits are from Pigeon Mountain.   I have heard good things from those who have them.  I think you can get them cheaper directly from Pigeon Mountain -> http://www.pigeonmountaintrading.com/Category/1-22636-ventilated-bee-wear.aspx

I've had my Mann Lake vented jacket for about a month now. Very nice jacket. Heavy duty zipper and veil system. Very very cool on hot days.

I prefer the ultrabreeze, but the Mann Lake is less expensive and also good quality.  The breeze has velcro wrist wraps, while the Mann Lake just has elastic.
