Sting Stopper Ventilated Goat Skin Beekeeping Gloves - Beekeeper White

Foxhound Bee Company Verified independent store

Beekeeping gloves have to do two things at once: keep bees from stinging you and let you actually feel what you're doing. These are goat leather with a vented hand — a quadruple-la yer vented panel plus a triple-layer sleeve — built to stay cooler than a solid leather glove during a long hive inspection in July. Key Features Quadruple-layer vented hand, triple-layer sleeve: airflow where you need it without sacrificing sting protection. Short sleeve design: fits under or over a suit or jacket sleeve without bunching. Reinforced elastic cuffs plus wide velcro: adjustable, secure seal at the wrist. Machine washable: re-oil the leather after washing to keep it supple. Don't put them in the dryer — heat will crack the leather. Size Guide Measure all the way around the widest part of your palm, excluding your thumb — that's your palm diameter. Match it to the closest size below. Size Palm Diameter XS 7.0" - 7.5" S 7.3" - 7.8" M 7.8" - 8.5" L 8.5" - 8.8" XL 8.6" - 9.0" 2XL 9.0" - 9.3" 3XL 9.3" - 10" The leather stretches with use, so measure your actual palm and order to fit now — you don't need to size up to account for break-in. Sleeve length is 14" from fingertip to the velcro strap, long enough to overlap a suit or jacket sleeve. What to Watch For These are vented for coolness, not built for cold-weather work — if you're doing late-fall or winter hive checks, a solid (non-vented) glove will hold more warmth.
