Seemed cooler in 90 degree FL temps. Like zippers and pocket storage. Thanks

5 Stars – Our New Go-To Jackets for Cutouts and Comfort!

These jackets have quickly become a favorite at Foothills Bee Company! The ventilation is outstanding—and will be especially appreciated during our intense North Carolina summers—and a major step up from some of the gear we’ve used in the past.

One of the biggest perks for us, especially being in the cutout business, is the Olive Green color. It’s not only sharp-looking but also much better at hiding the dirt and grime that comes with the job compared to traditional white gear.

I personally prefer the round veil in most situations, but the fencing veil with the front that opens up is a great option and pretty popular with our crew. The overlapping zippers take a little getting used to, but once you do, they’re no problem.

Sizing runs a bit large. For reference, I’m 5’5” and about 185 lbs—I wear a small comfortably, but even the extra small fits me well and doesn’t feel restrictive. We currently have four jackets in rotation (XS, S, and M), and I’ll probably grab another XS soon. It really comes down to personal preference—some folks like a roomier fit, but I’m not trying to feel like the Michelin Man in the bee yard!

All in all, these jackets check every box for us—comfortable, functional, and seem durable. Highly recommend!

The suit was a perfect fit. It was comfortable and easy to move in. I felt well covered and didn’t have any issues while installing a new hive. The breathable mesh makes it a lot cooler while wearing the suit as well. Highly recommend!

Light weight. True to size. Pockets in the right places. I am a fan!

Sting Stopper has great customer service, fast shipping and quite a selection of quality products. They have become my go to company for many things

I’ve never felt more confident or protected as when wearing my Sting Stopper bee suit. The suit is well-ventilated, so it keeps you much cooler, and extremely comfortable. There are lots of pockets for tools, your phone, or other necessities. The fencing veil fits well and can be unzipped in the front if need be. Lots of Velcro covers the zippers, and allows for sizing for the hand and ankle openings. I was glad to also notice there are even elastic bands that fit on the bottoms of your feet to keep the suit pants part pulled down, making sure your ankles are properly covered. The entire suit is very lightweight, not bulky like other bee suits I have worn before. I have the olive green suit, but this also comes in white for those who prefer it. (Psst…the olive green one won’t show as much dirt!) I cannot recommend the Sting Stopper Bee suit enough!!! I am thrilled to have mine!!!

Well ventilated

The gloves are a good quality. I purchased small and extra small. The extra small fit me the best for better dexterity.
I've been thru a lot of gloves and I feel these will last a long time.

I've been bee keeping for 3 years. I originally purchased a mediocre bee suit and recently the hood zipper broke on it. Even with the hood in tack I was often getting stung through the suit. I've since purchased the sting stopper professional ventilated beekeeping suit and it is the best of the best. I've been using it a lot for the last month and can't say enough of good things about it. No worries at all concerning getting stung! The velcro faster at the wrist and ankles are the best. The way the zipper over laps at the hood is awesome... no way a bee can enter the head gear or the suit. I bought one for myself and after receiving it and seeing the quality I ordered one for my son-in-law. Wished I would have found this bee suit in the beginning of my beekeeping adventure. In closing, get this sting stopper suit, you want be sorry for my advice! The best of the best!

is one of the best suits I have ever owned. It is very well ventilated and extremely comfortable. Also, is incredibly easy to get in and out of the suit. Would definitely not hesitate to purchase.

This is my first bee suit so I don’t have anything to compare it too, but it is the bomb. FIRST OFF, it’s so cool looking. Second, the breeze just went through it when I was working at my hives this morning. I actually had to do some ground work outside the hive and it kept me nice and cool, not to mention the padded knees as I was on the ground malleting landscape items into the ground. Bees weren’t happy, but I was snug as a bug, without worry.

We purchased a small Beekeeping Suit and gloves for our 5-year-old granddaughter, and she loved it! So glad you carry her size!

Easy to put on and take off. I am long wasted and this suit doesn't allow bees in my shirt when I bend over.

I bought this Stingstopper ventilated suit to replace my old cotton suit, which had no ventilation and was very hot (summers in Texas get hot)! Now I can feel a breeze when I wear shorts, and I really like that I can open the front of my veil when needed. I am 6'1, 195 lbs - and a 2x fit perfect!

Couldn't be happier with this full length suit...it's certainly a sting stopper!
