Ventilated jacket

[mbc]

Anybody tried the ventilated suits sold by old castle farm bees? I fancy trying one of their jackets to see if it helps in the hot sun but I don't want to splash out on one if it doesn't (a) work well and (b) last

Friend bought one, was very impressed, after placing the order got a phone call from the supplier checking measurements and veil type. I have a different mesh suit; they do work so long as there is a light breeze.

Couple of reviews on YouTube:

I had an email from Castle Farms basically offering "sale or return", I have not yet taken them up on it but will do shortly. Suggest you talk with them and perhaps reach some agreement. Their video seems fairly convincing.

My mate has a full suit and is very happy with it. The veil is particularly good, better clarity than the Oz Armour or BBwear, you don't notice the mesh at all.

Thanks guys, based on not a bad word I think I'll go ahead

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts after you get a chance to try it out, I may replace my suit eventually.

I have money burning a hole in my pocket for a new suit.

Had nailed it to a BJ Sheriff, (largely due to their better sizing).

However the Sentinel keeps popping up on here! They're both two and a half hours drive from me so haven't seen either one to try them on.

Just worried that the sentinel looks like a Michelin Man suit??

Its the performance that counts.
Most of us look pretty damn silly in a suit anyway
