3 Layer Ventilated Bee Suit for Apiarist, Breathable & Durable - Protection and Safety for all Beekeepers (Small)

Suit feels like it would work and be well ventilated. When I tried on Large size found it too small for me. I am 6'.1" and measure 35 inches from top of shoulder to crotch; Large suit was difficult to get over shoulders and gave me a wedgie. Pant length was ok. With shoes on I measure 35 inches from floor to crotch.Better sizing diagram would be helpful. Most common thing you do when bee keeping is bend over and lift items. Having a suite that fits too tight is not optimal for many reasons. Arm holes / shoulder room was constricted for me but would probably be ok for shorter person. Construction and materials seem solid. Putting on suit was easy as both legs have quality zippers that go to mid thigh. Double velcro covering the zipper connection points is well laid out. If I was 5'.9 to 5'.10 suit would be fine. 5'11 and above it will most likely be too small depending on your trunk to leg proportion.

This suit is like wearing chainmail- it’s heavy. It’s also sized weird- I am 5’4 and average build, slightly on the chubby side. The legs are very long, and the torso is very short, which is not an issue until I have to bend over. This suit IS nice if there is wind, but most beekeepers do not work their bees on windy days so it’s a moot point- I still sweat heavily in this suit. I wouldn’t mind those minors issues, except for the fact that the elastic in the sleeve cuff snapped after using this suit for only two months. I have purchased other items from FBS in the past and have never had an issue with quality or craftsmanship until now. I will continue to use the suit because it is outside of the return policy, but giving three stars due to quality.

It is short in the stride for the medium. I originally bought the large because I am 5’8 and 205lbs. The large was about a foot too long in the legs and the straddle hung down about a foot below my crotch. So I returned it for the medium. Now the length in the legs was fine but the stride is short as the torso longer. It fits fine but if I bend down I have to be careful not to split the crotch. The waist is fine but the sleeves are a bit long as well.It is ventilated but can get hot in the sun anyway.

the suit is light weight, fits comfortably, just what i wanted in a bee suit

Heavier than I thought but it definitely does the job. I could wear this bad nasty naked and not get zippers are good quality too. Theres multiple layers of velcro on the zippers by your neck.

Very well made product. Nice thick material.

Excellent quality beekeeping suit. Size runs big. We bought an XS and it is big for my 5' wife. But great product.

Good product, correct fit and fast receipt. Thank you!
