3-Layer Ventilated Sting-Proof Beekeeping Suit with Gloves & Two Veils

Reviews

1. R Robert Myers 5/5

   Beard wearers: add a face covering

   Very comfortable and cool to wear. I bought an XL at 5'8" and 180 lbs; it’s a touch roomy but far better than too tight.

2. L liz 5/5

   Safe and well made

   Excellent quality, easy to put on, and so far very secure. The extra hood has been very useful.

3. S Seesilia 5/5

   Complete suit with ventilation and pockets

   Nice fit and good airflow, though it still feels warm on very hot days. Zippers were stiff at first but loosened with use. The choice of veils is convenient and the included gloves are appreciated. Plenty of well-sized pockets make carrying tools easy and the suit gives a safe feeling when worn properly.

4. M Magy Helle 3/5

   Runs large and has odd proportions

   I ordered a small but received a suit that was much too large. At 5'4" and 140 lbs the torso was big and the arms and legs were oversized. The zipper stuck occasionally and the round hood’s top material felt thin, so I’d need a hat beneath it. I missed the return window and was disappointed I couldn’t exchange it.

   Fit met needs; sizing runs small — order larger

   I needed protection to remove a ground yellow-jacket nest after my wife was stung. I’m 6'3" and usually wear XLT, but went two sizes up to 3XL and the suit fit comfortably for short jobs. Sleeves and some areas were a touch tight or loose here and there, but overall it worked as a safety garment. It arrived folded in a thin clear bag; I doubt I can fold it back the same way, but that’s minor compared with the protection it provided.

6. A AP 4/5

   Good ventilated suit offering value

   After watching reviews I ordered one size up and it fits just a bit snug but comfortable. The zippers feel sturdy and the Velcro neck covers add security. The fencing veil is comfortable once adjusted and the ankle/wrist Velcro is very helpful. Overall I’m pleased with the quality for the money and the ventilation performance.

   Kept me safe while eradicating a stubborn nest

   High-quality suit with two hood styles. While trimming shrubs I battled a hidden yellow-jacket nest and used cans of spray plus my shop vac over several attempts. The insects approached multiple times but I did not get stung while wearing this suit. It provided the protection I needed during a persistent problem.

8. P PNWgirl 5/5

   Comfortable, secure and breathable

   As a new beekeeper I learned the hard way that I needed proper protection. I chose this darker-colored suit, appreciated the zippers and Velcro closures at wrists and ankles, and the Velcro flap over the main zipper to block sneaky insects. It checked my boxes for a secure fit and airflow and gave me the confidence to work hives more safely.

9. R Robin Dufour 1/5

   Not recommended — seam failed for me

   Very fragile seam; after the third use the inner lining tore. The hood felt small and my nose touched the fabric. Ventilation is good, but given the seam issue I can’t recommend it at this price point.

10. P Pedro Wiebe 5/5

    Good and necessary

    A useful piece of gear for working with bees.

11. M Martha Berra Galeazzi 5/5

    Excellent quality and comfort

    Very good construction and comfortable to wear.

12. A ANGELO 5/5

    Solid construction, not flimsy at all

    Bought as a starter suit and impressed with the stitching and metal YKK zippers. I sized up per other reviews — at 5'9" and 195 lbs the 2XL leaves room for a sweatshirt. Included gloves and an extra mesh hood add value versus buying pieces separately. The 3-layer mesh lets a breeze through, and the knee padding is welcome for longer sessions.
