S Self Mark Bee Suit Professional Full Body Polycotton Beekeeping Clothes Veil Hood Hat Protective Beekeeping Suit Jacket Coat and Trouser Beekeepers Equipment for Men & Women (XL, Fancy Veil)

I bought two different suits as wasn't sure of size or quality. The other suit is effectively just a pair of cotton overalls with some extra bits. This suit for a very similar price is very heavy Calico (like dense waxed cotton) and is significantly better - it far exceeded my expectations and I had full confidence tackling 3 wasp nests. The only slight improvement that could be made is that the face mesh can sometimes touch your face (which I expect means they could sting you through it). I wore a cap to hold it away a bit (next time will use a dust mask given the chemicals you can breath) but some more structure in it would help.In terms of sizing, I used to be 6'5" and a light build and the XXL fits well but one size bigger would be good too. Overall a great purchase and value - hope they keep the pricing at <£40 as can't imagine the £100+ suits are any better though not seen the 3-layer materials as they may be worth it.

So easy to put on and remove and very comfortable with all the usual pockets in the right places. Very good visibility through veil. Slight concern that the zips may not be strong enough for long term use but for now they are fine. Excellent price and I would definitely recommend this to other hobby bee keepers. I have just 4 hives.

The price of beekeeping suits covers wide range.This was bought as a first suit for a beginner,it has exceeded expectationsSuper suit

Fits really well, washes well.

PERFECT!

Great suit., makes bee keeping enjoyable

I have worn the suit twice at the association Apiary. I have been stung on both occasions through the suit.The first time i was stung through the suit in the crook of my right elbow. Shortly after the slight Easterly wind blew the veil back onto my face and i was stung on my lip.The second time was yesterday again the slight Easterly wind blew the veil onto my face and I was stuck twice on my forehead.The wind enters your hood and drags the hood and the veil onto your face and you are exposedif bees are on your veil. No other Beekeeper has this issue.I think this is a design fault with this suit.

Really like this, but to all out there, get a size or two bigger than you normally would. I'm an XL but happily ordered a 3XL and I'm glad I did.
