bought a new oz armour suit

[Newbeeneil]

From looking at the web site it seems the latest suits don’t come with Velcro on the cuff and ankles which I think are the best thing on my Oz suit!

Looks like they do in the photos I looked at, though my original suit only had elasticated which was no problem.

Thanks for the heads up. I have had the Oz armour jacket and trousers combo for the last couple of years and have ordered a full suit in khaki and another jacket in a smaller size as they are much more convenient for a quick inspection or where time is critical and I get screamed at by the wife that my bees are plotting and up to something..... My experience of Oz has been really good, not been stung through the jacket (triple mesh ) in two seasons, although taken a few elsewhere. My only frustration previously was little UK representation so tricky to send back if sizing was wrong and their sizing chart is a little ambiguous. Not sure if they have a UK retailer now as my order yesterday seemed to answered from abroad, but that just might be me being presumptuous and javiera may be from Huddersfield.

For comparison I also have a svienty breeze suit and would say quality wise they are pretty much on a par, with Oz getting worn more due to ease and comfort (and sitting in a convenient spot, but svienty benefitting from not being white....

At this price the Oz are well worth the money, especially in those really hot days when you can use an ox suit with just your shorts

I bought one too, I agree the sizings are a minefield. I hope mine isn't going to be like a tent . It seems the fatter you are the less length you get. I am tall and slim but ordered a large!!!, be interesting to see if it fits

I think you might be ok. I am 5'10 and 155 lb and went for large. My old one was 2xl and it had got too baggy due to weight loss and the gap around the waist was getting tempting for those bees to explore ... I also have a large swienty suit and the problem is if you go smaller than that the arms are too short...

Are you over six foot? A large should be OK unless you are a fair bit taller than that.
