Bee-Keeping Protective Suit - your recommendations appreciated

I'm due to change my suit soon but will be going for a good quality one c.£70 but definitely all-in-one. I hate to think what would happen if a bee/bees went up in the inside of a short topped one...sheesh! Whilst I'm here, has anyone ever had a veil repaired?

No but a replacement zip-on hood for my 22 y.o. Sherriff jacket will cost £41 - which I think extortionate

41 quid??!! That's very steep.

Swarm, I know, but the smock itself is still 100% and has proven durability from snagging on branches when clambering up ladders etc
