About the Mann Lake CV275 Waterproof Weathertek Bee Suit

The Mann Lake CV275 Waterproof Weathertek Bee Suit comes with a fencing veil and is made of a nylon-faced material with a urethane barrier. The nylon is further treated with a Teflon film, which is used as a non-stick coating that helps prevent water absorption. This gives the bee suit its waterproof properties, allowing it to double as a nifty raincoat as water will roll right off. Indeed, the bee suit will keep your body dry for as long as you are wearing it, however the same cannot be said about your face. The veil is not waterproof as you can imagine, since you still need to breathe while you have it on, Even so, you can keep your head down and away from the direction of the rain.
