- How long is a piece of string
Hi I have seen these , anyone used one or have in info on them.
I seem to fall into the small size as i'm about 5ft7 5ft8 would this size be ok
Spec as follows
HONEY COLOURED SMALL size Bee Keeping Suit. It is made from 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton cloth.
The veil is of the Fencing style and can be unzipped and ‘thrown back’. It can also be completely removed so the suit can be easily washed. The 'fencing style' veil is made from stiffened black mesh / netting.
The suit has 4 pockets (1 is for the hive tool). The zips are all extra strong and made to last. The cuffs are elasticated and have thumb loops to keep the cuff in place when you are putting on your gloves. The ankles are elasticated and fitted with a zip. The waist is partially elasticated. The suit has a long zip from the crotch to the veil. Where the zips come together there is a 'velcro' flap.
The Small Size suit would fit someone from about 5ft 3in up to 5ft. 9in. tall and up to 42 inch chest. The inside leg is 33 inches. Crotch to the veil zip is 31 inches (32 to the collar). The measurement cuff to cuff – when the suit is laid flat is 68 inches. The suit chest measures 46 inches under the arms.
