Children's cotton suit and gloves

This children's cotton suit and gloves set pairs a 280GSM cotton bee suit and detachable hood with children's three-layer gloves, so a young beekeeper is ready for the hive in one order. The hood zips off and can also be thrown back onto the shoulders, and the suit has YKK zips, a reinforced collar and plenty of pockets.

Features

• Includes children's three-layer gloves
• Three layer gloves ensure that your child's hands will stay protected even when the material is tight to their skin as they move their hands around. This is because the material provides a minimum protection of 5mm, and a bee can sting up to 3mm.
• Made from 280GSM cotton for a thicker, classic beekeeping suit
• Detachable hood that zips off, so you can wash the suit or work without it; it can also be thrown back to rest on the shoulders when not in use
• Strong YKK zips throughout, plus a Velcro overlap flap at the hood join
• Thumb and foot loops and elastic at the cuffs, waist and ankles
• Extra-thick reinforced collar with a Velcro neck strap
• Large pockets, a zipped chest pocket with queen marker slot, and left- or right-handed hive tool pockets

Sizing: Available in children's sizes XS, Small, Medium, Large and XL. Compare your child's measurements with the size chart in the images, allowing room for clothing. For gloves, choose a size that fits without stretching – gloves that are too tight stretch the material and are easier to sting through.

Care: Remove the hood, then machine wash the suit.

Who it suits: Suits families and educators who want a complete, traditional cotton outfit for a child in one purchase.
