US-Keepers 3-Layer Ultra Ventilated Bee Suit for Men & Women – Premium Beekeeping Suit with Bee Gloves & Two Detachable Beekeeping Veils (White L)

I am an amateur beekeeper and just used this suit for the first time yesterday, and the second time today. It is absolutely wonderful and designed with intelligence. Very good airflow. Very light weight. Very comfortable. 🐝ing new to 🐝 keeping I was worried about stings, but 3 minutes into my first experience I never thought about it again. Very secure 🐝 suit. I am 5'8" (and a half), and about 165-175lbs. I ordered a large and it fit just right. The legs are long enough to tuck into my shoes. If I was a little taller I might have gone a size up cause this fits just right. The gloves are a good deal too big on me, and cause issues with the finger tips going past my fingers. But I have relatively small hands, so this isn't surprising. Would be nice if I could have gotten a separate size gloves with the set. Awesome that it has two veils for the suit. I haven't decided which I like better, but so far it's the full wrap around veil. Not the fencing veil. I look forward to many years of using this suit. Excellent company who made a product with lots of care and consideration.

As a new beekeeper I have been trying to learn how and when I need to wear protection. I’m am lazy and didn’t want to take the time to put on a suit every time I needed to get into the hive but after several stings in one day and a adverse reaction, the decision was made that I really need to wear protective gear most of the time when dealing with them. After researching for days, I decided on this product because it checked the most boxes for my needs. First off I did not want a white suit which is the majority of what is sold ( white for outdoors is all around bad for me ). That narrowed down my choices by a lot so then it was based on how secure the suit was ( closures, fabric, etc.) This suit has zippers and Velcro on the wrists, ankles, and the main front entry which is super nice to secure the end of the zipper holes from sneaky bees getting in. The price point was a little higher for this suit but it is definitely worth it in my opinion and it is still less than other high end suit that are probably very similar in quality and durability. It is decently lightweight and has good ventilation. I didn’t notice any funny smells other than what would be expected from a new garment wrapped in plastic in a plastic storage bag. I did follow the sizing recommendations of ordering the size according to your height or the largest of what is needed. I’m almost 6’ but only weight 145 ish and bought an XL because I needed the length in the legs. Although it’s baggy I don’t mind because I get air Flo through it and can layer if needed. It seems to be a great suit for my needs and I am extremely happy with it so far.

I wasn’t sure I would like being a beekeeper so I started out with a cheap cotton suit for like $40-50. It was decent protection but if the bees were agitated, you’d better have another layer under it or they could still get to you. It was also hella hot. If I had it to do over, I would have started with a better suit. I recently bought the US Keepers 3 layer vented suit on Amazon. I was pleased with the fit and it came with both the round and fencing veil for about $140. It would have made my first year so much easier had I ponied up for the better suit to start with. Part of the issue as a new beekeeper is that the bees can sense your anxiety and can react negatively to it. With the better suit, you are less prone to worry about stings so you can focus more about what you are doing, being more fluid and careful, thus disturbing them less. And, because you aren’t as hot, you aren’t trying to rush through before you stroke out. Great suit for the money. The only thing I would chage is to possibly make the brim on the round veil cover just a hair larger. It fits fine and doesn't touch my face but it would "feel much better with another inch on the diameter.

After watching a video review on this and reading some of the other reviews, I decided to take a chance. I have worn this veiled suit a few times now and overall, I do like it. I did take the advice of others about the suit running small and went one size up than I normally do. Based on the sizing chart, I was just within the top measurements and this suit is just a smidge snug. But definitely not uncomfortable. I definitely feel like this was a great value and worth the purchase. Pros: The suit seems to be of a very excellent quality. The zippers seem to be very good quality and not plastic. Unlike some other suits, I feel very comfortable with the velcro covers to the zippers as well. Very well placed, and doubled up on the neck. Velcro for the ankles and wrists (Thank you!) The fencing veil (once adjusted) is pretty comfortable and is not restrictive around the neck like some other suits. The zipper to open the front is a nice little bonus. Lots of pockets. I kind of like having the hive tool pockets on the upper arm. For us "shapely" folks, I do like how it isn't tight around the backside area. Kneeling and bending over feels very comfortable and I don't get that "riding up" feeling from this suit. Cons: The regular hat veil is definitely small like what other reviews have stated. I haven't even tried it as it looks like it should be on a kid's suit. Without adjusting (see helpful notes below), the fencing veil does lay against your face. I definitely suggest wearing a hat as well. The gloves that come with are a bit tight around the arms. Also, the gloves tend to shift a bit. It would have been a bit better to add some velcro to the wrist area on them as well. Suit is definitely pushing sizing limits. Definitely suggest using the "biggest" size that any of your measurements hit (It is stated correctly in the sizing description). A review stated that the leg zippers aren't long enough to be able to slide past boots. I will agree with that. You will most likely need to remove your shoes before taking the suit off. Notes: Some reviews were complaining about the fencing veil on how it lays against your face. I found three things that help with that immensely. First is the strong velcro at the top. Make sure to pull the veil all the way out and attach it to hold the top as open as possible. Secondly, the bottom has a sturdy piece that is actually bendable. Bend it out to a more rounded shape and there will be less chance of it laying against your chin. And thirdly, just wear a rimmed hat underneath to give some extra support.

very fragile seam. From my third use I tore the seams of the lining. For the size you can rely on the measurement but as for the hat it is too small for the head, our nose touches the fabric. For ventilation it is very good, especially after tearing.... For the price I do not recommend it.

Muy buena calidad. Y comodidad.
