Forest Beekeeping Suit– Pro-Max 3 Layer Bee Suit with Reinforced Heavy Duty Veil. Beekeeper Suits for Men & Women. Bee Keeper Outfit for Adults (XL)

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.

Just to be clear, this bee suit does NOT have a brimmed hat. This suit itself looks very well made, but is not what I want.

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.EDIT: Updated to 5 stars because of Forest Beekeeping Supply’s phenomenal customer service. I had to order a new veil because the screen ripped in the wash (don’t be dumb like me and wash the veil) and unbeknownst to me, I ordered the incorrect veil. The company reached out to me and asked if I would prefer the correct matching veil and shipped it to me for no extra cost, which means they went out of their way to notice my purchase history and ensure I received the correct product. I was very impressed by this.Additionally, I have tried other brands of jackets over the years and I have to say that the quality of FBS is far superior, and will be my go-to brand for beekeeping PPE from now on.

This suit is going to be fabulous! Easy on. Breathable. I dint think I'll need to wear a baseball cap with this hood.

Buy it! I felt so protected in this suit! It’s heavy, but it is ventilated well.It’s more than functional. Such a great value for the price. It’s tough as nails—true bee yard armor. The zippers are great quality and the pockets for tools are well placed. I love the suit. So well made! Thanks !

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

Suit is very hot
