Our Inspector jacket has two front pockets and heavily elasticized band that falls above the hip. Our jacket has ring pull zippers affixed to the hat and veil and Velcro is in the front and rear where the zippers come together, to keep out sneaky bees. Inspector Jacket with zip (veil sold separately) .
Ive used this jacket for the last year. I find it more than adequate for my needs.
My only complaints are that they are very warm, almost hot. My hives are in the Utah desert, and I find myself wanting to work the bees very early in the morning to avoid the sun and heat. The waist band is also a little too lose for comfort. No one has crawled in yet, but....
Awesome jacket!
I bought this Inspectors jacket at the bee farm this spring, it is very well made, very comfortable, and offers excellent protection. I would highly recomment this to anyone looking to purchase a jacket.
