Description
The Honey Rustler beekeeping jacket in mocha is one of the most trusted beekeeping jackets in British beekeeping. Crafted from a fine-weave polycotton blend, it combines genuine protection with long-lasting durability. Whether you are inspecting hives on a warm summer morning or moving between apiaries in cooler weather, this jacket keeps you comfortable, safe, and in control.
Protective fabric for your beekeeping jacket
The outer layer of this beekeeping jacket is made from a hard-wearing polyester cotton fabric that is both highly protective and robust. It will not shrink or fade after washing.
Why polycotton suits beekeeping
The smooth finish of the fabric is important for beekeeping. It allows bees to rest on the surface and fly away again without catching their feet in the fibres. This reduces agitation during inspections and makes the experience calmer for you and your bees.
Honey Rustler jacket design and fit
The Honey Rustler jacket is designed to fit over your regular clothing without restricting your movement. The roomy cut and drop sleeves make it easy to put on and take off, even when wearing gloves.
Cuffs, pockets, and zip on the beekeeping jacket
- Robust central zip for quick and easy on and off
- Deep hook-and-loop cuffs that tighten for a secure, adjustable seal
- Thumb loop to hold the cuff in place over your gloved hand
- Adjustable waist elastic with a cord-stop toggle
- Four front patch pockets with hook-and-loop fastenings
- Key clip inside the lower pocket so your keys are always to hand
ClearView veil: the beekeeper’s best view
The Honey Rustler features our exclusive ClearView black nylon mesh veil. Hundreds of tiny woven holes provide excellent ventilation to keep you cool during long hive inspections, while delivering outstanding all-round visibility. It is suitable for spectacle wearers too. Review.
Removable hood for easy beekeeping jacket care
The hood can be unzipped and folded back to rest on your shoulders, which is ideal when driving between apiaries. For thorough cleaning, the hood detaches completely. It is hand-wash and line-dry only.
