Chilean Veil Hood – String Type

Keep head protection simple with the traditional Chilean String-Type Veil from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

This old-fashioned protective veil uses a drawstring rather than zippers or elastic attachment systems. Its uncomplicated design makes it convenient for beekeepers who prefer traditional equipment with fewer moving parts.

Designed for Collared Workwear

The veil works particularly well with King Gee-style work overalls or similar garments that have a collar. The drawstring can be secured around the clothing to help close the lower edge of the veil.

It may also serve as a replacement hood for some traditional cotton overalls with suitable collars.

Why Choose a String-Type Veil?

• Simple drawstring closure
• No zipper fastening
• No elastic attachment system
• Traditional beekeeper design
• Suitable with collared work overalls
• May suit compatible cotton bee suits
• Useful as a spare protective veil

Fewer fastening components can mean fewer zippers or elastic sections to maintain over time.

Because the fit relies on the drawstring and the wearer’s clothing, test the positioning carefully before approaching a live colony.

Secure the Lower Edge Properly

Place the veil over the head and position it so the mesh remains comfortably away from the face. Tighten the drawstring around the collar area until the lower edge is secure without restricting breathing or movement.

Check for gaps by looking around the shoulders and back of the neck.

Traditional Does Not Mean Care-Free

The simple construction is durable, but the mesh should still be checked regularly for small holes, tears or pulled seams.

This veil provides head and face coverage only. Wear suitable protective clothing on the rest of the body according to the colony and task.
