Zips were broken on first use
The bee suit seems to be well made and strong however I am unable to use it as the zips to secure the hood to the suit were switched around the wrong way and broke while trying to fix this issue.

Too good to be true?
For the money I am extremely impressed. It was £100 cheaper then a leading brand and the quality appears to be very very similar. The more expensive brand comes with a 5 year warranty on zips, this product does not. Only time will tell of how well it wears etc but on first appearance it appears to be excellent.

Good quality bee suit
The suit fitted well though a longer front zip would make it easier to put on

Great product two small issues.
This is a great product I've got Bee suits three times the price that are not as good! So firstly I highly recommend it.However I have two small issues with it:1. It has a proper collar. This is a pain as it always turns up when you put the mask up and then it's in and around you face and neck. It's extra detailing that makes the product less good.2. The mask has strips to stiffen it instead of wire if you drive in it a lot like I do then these dig in your back in a way wire doesn't.If these two things were sorted this would be an unbeatable Bee suit, as it is it's still the only one I now recommend to beginners.

Fantastic quality, exactly what I needed at much less than expected.
Having bought a "cheap" suit before I did not have high expectations give the price of this suit. I could not have been more wrong with this suit. The material is good quality and I would be surprised if this were ever to come away at the seems. The veil hangs in a great position and, due to it's size, allows for a lot of heat to escape.. Thumb straps on the cuffs help keep the cuffs in position. Similarly, the straps under the beet help keep the legs down your boots.I would recommend this suit to any beekeeper wishing to buy a suit.

Very poor quality Zip
Arrived promptly. I didn't get much use out of it initially as I didn't have been last year so it was only worn 3 or 4 times while visiting my mentor's hives. Now discovering that the zip is really poor quality.It doesn't zip up properly - I find I have to run the zip up or down several times for it to 'catch' and close, and the teeth pull apart while waering the suit.Very disappointing.

Bee suit
Rather a lot larger than the size stated, but quality is good, so happy with the product. Good value for the price.

Excellent product
In having to move some Bees from between the bathroom window and a shutter, we needed some inexpensive protective clothing. I bought one suit to see what it was like. Terrific value and good quality. Then send for another, with gloves that time, and was again delighted. Bees now moved and happy in their home made beehive (see The Barefoot Beekeeper by P.J. Chandler)
