LONGADS Professional Bee Suit for Men and Women, Full Body Beekeeping Suit with Gloves & Protective Round Veil, Size XL (Fits 65-69 Inches / 5'5"-5'9") for Apiary & Backyard

I recently had a remarkable encounter with a relentless yellow jacket nest that led me to test the boundaries of my bee suit. Armed with determination and my trusty 2x4, I embarked on a mission to remove a massive hive from my property. Amidst the chaos, the bee suit I donned proved to be a game-changer, offering unparalleled protection and ensuring my safety throughout the endeavor. I was removing a massive hive for 30 minutes without a single bite. Durability and Protection: 5/5 From the moment I zipped up the bee suit, I was impressed by its robust construction. The suit held up exceptionally well as I maneuvered around the hive, even with a 2x4 in hand I used to scrape the hive off the bottom of my deck. Notably, not a single bee managed to penetrate the suit's defenses, despite my proximity to their hive and the forceful expulsion of parts of the nest. Hood Design and Accessories: 4.5/5 Wearing a baseball cap under the hood, as suggested by fellow bee warriors, provided an extra layer of protection for my head and face. The hood effectively shielded me from potential stings, although an adjustable tightening mechanism would be a useful addition for a more customized fit. Comfort and Layering: 4/5 Layering proved to be a strategic choice. The thick Carhartt jacket, combined with work jeans, enhanced insulation without compromising mobility. The extra layers, along with duct tape sealing on gloves and ankles, contributed significantly to the suit's effectiveness in keeping the hornets at bay. However, an additional inner lining for added comfort during prolonged use would be appreciated. Ease of Use: 4/5 The bee suit was relatively easy to put on and take off, even under the circumstances of a bee removal operation. The zipper mechanism held up well, and the suit's sizing proved accurate for a comfortable fit over my clothing. In conclusion, the bee suit I used during my yellow jacket nest removal proved itself as a stalwart defender against nature's fierce inhabitants. Its durability, effective hood design, and compatibility with additional layers of clothing are commendable features. While some minor enhancements could elevate its comfort level, the bee suit exceeded my expectations in delivering the protection and peace of mind needed for such daring undertakings.

Last month, we encountered an unexpected situation when a swarm of bees decided to make a temporary home in our backyard vegetable garden. As novice beekeepers, this presented both a challenge and an opportunity. To safely manage the situation, I purchased a beekeeper suit for my husband, who is quite a big guy at 6’1” and around 250 lbs. We have often struggled to find the right fit in the past, but this suit proved to be an exception. The suit arrived in perfect condition, and to our relief, it was a perfect fit for my husband. The quality exceeded our expectations. The fabric feels durable yet comfortable, offering ample protection without sacrificing mobility, which is crucial for beekeeping tasks. The veil provided clear visibility and the suit covered every inch, ensuring maximum protection from bee stings. What impressed us most was the attention to detail in its design. The zippers and elastic bands at the wrists and ankles were of high quality, which are often overlooked in other suits. Plus, it was surprisingly easy to put on and take off, a definite plus after a long day of tending to bees. The price point was the cherry on top. Given the quality and fit, we expected it to be more expensive, but it was quite affordable. This suit not only met but exceeded our expectations. To sum it up, we are more than happy with this purchase. It has allowed us to safely and comfortably manage our new beekeeping adventure. I highly recommend this suit to any novice or experienced beekeeper looking for a reliable, high-quality, and well-fitting beekeeper suit.

Good quality and fit, 3rd suit I have purchased. No stings yet!

Fits good I wish it was a little shorter but I was afraid to get a smaller one because I am short and stout. But this will do the job beautifully. Well made highly recommend

Exactly what I needed for my wasps issue! I had to take matters in to my own hands as wasps had nested under the siding of my house. An exterminator could only spray so much and can't/won't remove house siding. I needed something affordable and functional for a one time use (hopefully) and it did the job. Not one sting. I felt comfortable and safe. I'll keep it around in case the wasps come back plus the wife said I can wear it as a Halloween costume next year lol

Very light and cheap .working very well .I would recommend getting it

Great quality and price bee keeper suit.

I'm 5.5ft. When it comes to clothing, I'm between medium and large. After reading the description and reviews (and yes, reading Amazon's notice of high return rate), I still ordered a large thinking it would fit. When it arrived, I tried it on. It seemed a bit tighter than I expected, but doable. Then I did the bend over test. The suit didn't split or anything, but it got uncomfortable quick. Large isn't going to work at all. Loose covering is important, especially over sensitive areas. As far as quality, I didn't see anything I thought was a deal breaker. The seams looked good. The hood looked adequate. The zipper on the left side of the hood didn't seem to want to close all the way but I didn't try to work it because this will be returned. I would use tape over the flap, ankles and wrists anyway. The elastic is snug, but not too tight. The gloves are a little thinner than I expected, but comfortable. I did not take it on a test run because it will be returned. Suggestion: even if you are medium-large like me, save yourself the time and get the extra large from the get-go. The large simply isn't large enough. Will update the review after I'm able to get a larger suit to test out. EDIT: The XL fits comfortably. I ended up braving the two yellow jacket nests at night w/o a suit (they were terrorizing my dogs, and I had to do something). That said, I haven't had the chance to test it yet, but I feel a lot better knowing I have it for next time. Bee Safe!

Good looking bee suit, I havent tried it out yet but I did try it on and it fits good.

Llegó como esperado, sí defiende de las abejas, de hecho lo usé para quitar un panal que tenía en la casa. Nada más sugiero poner en la cabeza una gorra para mejor protección y poner una mascarilla que cubra la boca y la nariz ya que la parte del traje que se pone en la cabeza tiene enfrente una red que podría rozar la nariz y si no tienes protección te van a picar. Por otra parte la medida es para una persona normal que mide hasta 1.80. Más grande no cabes.

Me gustó que llego rápido, lo vi grande pero me quedo bien ya puesto, y las abejas ahora si me hacen los mandados cuando voy por la miel, antes me iba así sin nada pero esto ayuda que no se me cierre la garganta como antes cuando me picaban cuando iba con Manolo al cerro por la miel

I'm normally a medium in regular clothes but I bought an extra large and if fits ok. Had a bunch of wasp nests in and around house and equipment on my property. This allowed me to take care of those and not get stung when swarmed.

Very good quality
