USKEEPERS Beekeeping Suit — Ultra-Ventilated Polycotton Full-Body Suit (Sv, L) with 2 Veils & Goatskin Gloves, Cushioned Knees

This suit combines a 50/50 polycotton weave with targeted ventilation panels so you stay cooler while maintaining a barrier between you and your bees. Designed under U.S. beekeeper guidance, the outfit includes reinforced YKK brass zippers, elastic closures, cushioned knee pads and multiple deep pockets to hold hive tools. It’s built to be worn over regular clothes and balances mobility with protection for both beginning and experienced apiarists.

How does the ventilation keep me cooler during hot inspections?

Strategically placed mesh panels at the chest, back and arms allow airflow through the suit while the 280 GSM polycotton body provides a protective layer. The panels help evaporate sweat and reduce heat buildup without compromising sting protection.

• Chest, back and arm ventilation panels for continuous airflow
• 280 GSM polycotton blend — durable yet breathable
• Vented veils with rigid spacing that keep mesh off the face

What protective features prevent bee ingress at openings?

The suit uses high-quality YKK antique brass zippers at the front and legs plus elasticized ankles, wrists and an adjustable Velcro wrist closure to seal common entry points. A Velcro-covered strap over veil zippers adds an extra layer of closure for the head area.

• YKK metal zippers at front and legs for secure, long-lasting closures
• Elastic waist, ankles and wrists with wrist Velcro for snug fit
• Velcro strap covers veil openings to protect the zipper line

Which veils and gloves are included, and how do they perform?

The suit ships with two removable veils: a fencing-style veil with front opening and a round veil offering 360° mesh visibility. Goatskin gloves feature ventilated, long cuffs to protect hands and forearms while allowing dexterity for routine hive tasks.

• Fencing veil with rigid top insert to keep mesh off the face
• Round veil for broader vision and enhanced airflow
• Goatskin gloves with long, ventilated cuffs for comfort and protection

How do I pick the right size and care for fit over clothing?

Measure your full height and chest circumference and match those numbers to the size chart. If your measurements fall into two sizes, choose the larger one; you can message the seller for sizing help. The suit is intentionally roomy to be worn over everyday clothes and has leg zippers for easy on/off.

• Measure height and chest circumference for accurate selection
• Choose the larger size when between measurements
• High leg zippers let you put the suit on without removing shoes
