Amazing outfit for most people
I bought this for my brother, he has a 3-acre field he mow that has several underground hives. He was stung twice before I bought this bee outfit to him. He is 6'2", the suit fits well. What is funny his girlfriend wear it once and help him. She is 5'5", with the elastic , the suit fits her also. When they told me with big laugh, I feel like I am a really smart buyer. Very happy with this purchase.

wasp proof too!
so far so good! We do weekly pasture changes and brush clearing on our land and have discovered that there are ground wasp nests everywhere. My husband and I are traumatized from being attacked several times this summer. We bought 2 bee suits to wear while we set up new paddocks, and to give the neighbors a good laugh as well ;) He's 6', 160lb and I'm 5'6" 120lb and the suits fit well with lots of room to spare. In the first week of wearing our bee suits, my husband was the lucky one to step on a wasp nest. The wasps tried stinging him through the pants, and up near his head. I stood nearby in my bee suit, somewhat horrified, but neither of us got stung. Another reviewer mentioned wearing proper clothing underneath. We were both wearing medium weight somewhat baggy jeans and long sleeved t-shirts. Worth the money and the peace of mind that we won't be stung to death one day.

Nice bee suit!
5'11" , 200 lb guy- fits pretty good. Costume for Halloween... I'll keep it around for future wasp nest battles.

So far I like it. It definitely fits a smaller sized person
So far I like it. It definitely fits a smaller sized person. I'm 5'5" and around 135 lbs and while there is still some room to stretch here and there, I wouldn't really recommend having the suit tight anyways. I personally say this suit is perfect for slimmer builds or kids around 12+ years old. Thank you! :)

These suits work
This suit saved my life. Three days before I had been stung five times by hornets that had made a nest in a cardboard box. These were ground hornets in a box. I ordered this suit and three days later it arrived. After dark I went on attack with delta dust and wearing the bee suit. Flashlight in one hand puffer in the other,l started the delta dust and in three seconds I was covered with mad hornets. It was like driving through snow as they were coming toward me. Not one sting and the next day the hornets were gone. Thanks for listening,Kenneth in Louisville,KY

One size fits most :)
I wasn’t sure about size but the bee suit fits me (women’s size 8) just fine and fits my husband as well who is 5’10”. I’m a beginner bee keeper and I didn’t get stung when handeling my package of bees. That’s the main purpose!

Protected us from Africanized Bees
We are new beekeepers and wanted to ease into this without a huge investment, so we bought these inexpensive suits. I am 5'4", husband is 6 feet tall. Both of us are rather slender. The suits fit both of us fine. We bought inexpensive helmets from a beekeeping supply house to wear under the veil. This is a requirement to keep the veil away from your face. We helped some friends, professional beekeepers, get honey from their large apiary this week. We were warned that one of the hives is "hot," meaning it has Africanized bees (commonly known as killer bees). When we showed up with these suits, one of the professionals said, "Those suits are crap, I can guarantee you you're going to get stung." At this, we decided to tape up the entrance points of our suits, as we had learned to do at a beekeeping class. We taped the leg openings to our boots and taped the top of the suit to the pants, at the bottom of the top section. As it turned out, this was a most stressful day. The bees were furious, constantly swarming at everything human, and they were trying to get into every crevice and weak spot on the suits of all five of us. The professionals, in their expensive suits, got stung because the bees did find a way in. My husband got stung because he bent down to pick up a super, and the net brushed against his face. One of our friends, in an e expensive suit, got stung in exactly the same way -- her veil brushed against her chin when she bent down to help lift a super. In the end, everyone got stung at least once, no matter which suit they had. But I was only stung one time (at the crease between my gloves and the sleeve of my suit -- which I hadn't taped). The photos show my husband with bees all over his headgear (of the suit being reviewed), my glove, covered with stingers, none of which penetrated to my hand, and the leg of my pants with a stinger still embedded in it. We wore heavy denim pants (wheat jeans) under our suits, and got no stings on our legs. We wore regular t-shirts (light colored) and go no stings on our bodies. Bees seem more aggressive against dark colors. I like that these suits are two-piece. Unlike the "Hot" Apiary last week, our bees are easy to work with. We feel quite safe wearing only the top half of our bee suits. Once a bee got in under the elasticized bottom, but didn't sting. We don't bother to tape up the bottom of the suit when we are with our gentle bees. After our experience with the "hot" hive, there was lots of dirt, bee guts (because the stingers pulled the insides out of the bees after they tried to sting), and nervous sweat on the suits. I put them in the washer on the gentle cycle with cold water. They came out looking like new. I was concerned that the shaped headgear with the veil wouldn't do well, but everything came out clean and in excellent condition. They quickly air dried. I would not put them in the dryer. These suits will not be comfortable in very hot weather. It was very early morning, in the high 70s and low 80s, when we worked the large apiary for about two hours. We weren't uncomfortable, but we would have been on a hotter day. All said, I am glad we bought these suits, and I won't be looking to replace them unless we need to work for hours in the heat. I think they are well worth what we paid for them, and if we do buy better ventilated suits later, these will be good back-ups for when we have guests.

Works well
The bee suit works well. Both my husband and myself wore it and had no issues with the bees. I could hear them buzzing around and a few landed on me and I wasn’t stung. Pants were a little tight on my hips

It does the job!!!
I bought this suit because I had two Ground bee hives in my yard. I knew about one but found out about the other by getting stung. I bought the suit, put it on and tore into those hives. Its hard to describe the sensation of standing in a cloud of hundreds of Angry bees but not one of them touched me!! Now, the hives are gone and I have the suit in case of future hives.
