Sting Stopper Ventilated Goat Skin Beekeeping Gloves - Olive Green

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-layer vented panel plus a triple-layer sleeve — built to stay cooler than a solid leather glove during a long hive inspection in July. This is the Olive Green colorway.

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. Sleeve length is 14" from fingertip to velcro strap.
• 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. A slightly snug fit works best.

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.

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.
