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.
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.
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.
