Thought I would share this with you. Before I do, I must stress I have NO CONNECTION with this provider, but thought some might find this useful.
My missus (non beek) had expressed a wish for greater protection than the smock I had for her and so I have just bought her a full suit from that online place. You know the one.
Anyway, I managed to get one for just under £25 plus £7 P&P, making it a total of £32 all in.
Although not as good as my BB Wear suit (and it is white, not sage like mine), it came in at a third of the cost and it is certainly far greater than a third of the quality.
The fabric is quite heavyweight, the zips are all chunky plastic, there are many pockets and the leg cuffs are also zipped/elasticated.
She wasn't exaclty overwhelmed when I revealed it to her, but did concede it should afford her more protection, which for me means she will be more confident around the bees.
Anyway, I consider it a good value item and thought there would be some thrufty beeks out there who might be looking for a new or supplementary suit, even if only for those who occasionally accompany you.
Here is a link to the shop. I hope this is OK, admin.
