How to Find Your Ideal Size for Beekeeping Gear

Choosing the right size for your beekeeping gear is crucial for safety and comfort. At Safta Bee, we strive to help you find the perfect fit for our bee suits, bee jackets, and bee gloves. All our sizes adhere to standard UK sizing, but please keep in mind that heavier fabrics and materials may affect the fit compared to your regular clothing. Our bee suits are designed to fit snugly without being bulky, allowing for freedom of movement, even if you have a "honey belly."

The Importance of Fit

Unlike everyday clothing, beekeeping apparel should have a loose fit to provide ample room for movement. A properly fitted suit allows for air circulation, helping you stay cool while also creating gaps between your skin and the fabric, which makes it harder for bees to sting you.

Measuring Yourself

Before purchasing from our website, it is essential to take accurate measurements. Here are the key areas to measure:

  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Back: Measure across your back from arm to arm.
  • Arms: Measure from the top of your shoulder to your wrist.
  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.
  • Height: Stand straight and measure from the top of your head to the ground.

After taking your measurements, please refer to our Standard Size Chart to determine which size will best suit you.

Sizing Tip

As a general rule, since clothing measurements are taken from a flat outfit, it is advisable to add 2 inches to your measurements to accommodate shape and movement.
