Red Kap Men's Men's Twill Action Back Coverall Coverall (pack of 1)

I purchased these overalls for beekeeping. I wear a couple of layers under the overalls, because I don't want to feel a sting. My first day of beekeeping, I got stung in the back. I had no clue until I got inside and took off the suit & layers. Really, I did not feel it THEN. My husband saw the sting on my back, when he told me I felt a slight burning feeling. Nothing big. I beleive it was because of the layers and the overalls. These overalls are not made of flimsy material. I did not sew up the openings on the sides as others did. I like to put my phone in the pocket of my pants under the overalls. I do this because the overall pockets are full of bee tools and other things I might need at the hive. The pockets are huge and can hold everything I need. When I get a call, I can reach in the openings of the suit. I am glad those slits are there. I have washed the overalls several times and noticed no seams coming undone or wear and tear. The overalls are white, so there is some minimal staining where I brushed up against things and got dirty. I did not use bleach because I can live with a few minor stains. I wear my bee veil under the overalls, and can still button the very top button despite the extra veil material. There's no elastic on the arms, so I purchased pants blousing straps to keep them shut tight. I do the same at the ankles. It may be overkill, but I feel safer all tucked in like that. I have been using this "bee suit" all summer, and I am pleased with this purchase!

Its nice and baggy, full of pockets and made of decent material! It's just as good as what you'd get from a hardware store but for a fraction of the price.

Great for tick protection. I spray insect repellent around the ankles, wrists, neck and side openings. These stand up to climbing through brush and tall plants instead of ripping like disposable coveralls. To purchase in my size (slender) is a bonus.

I purchased this to do yard work in hopes to be protected from scratches and keep the biting insects at bay. I am happy with the purchase. As for the fit... I am a short, overweight woman and was happy it fit even in the arms. I am 5 ft 3 and so the length was longer than I needed but I got the sz because the fit in other areas was more important to me. Breathability... I was dripping in sweat and believe it was probably a combination of the fabric and the outdoor temperature, etc. It appears to wash well but on the flip side we have one of those "HE" machines that don't wring/beat up the clothes like the upright agitator (I missed those...) I will update the review if there are notable changes.

Makes me sweat in the summer sometimes. Maybe you can use a more breathable material or air holes
