Chaqueta de apicultura Sting Stopper Professional ventilada - Apicultor Blanco
Customer Reviews
I’ve owned 3 bee jackets that I paid $300 a piece for and were supposed to be top of the line jackets. They worked really well but they had a few issues such as where the two zippers came together caused a gap, elastic wasn’t especially tight allowing beds to crawl up you coat, and the canvas by the wrists was too long so the majority of my stings were there.This jacket fixes all of those issues and more. You know it is a good jacket when you buy it and your wife comes around the corner and says, “Wow, that is a really nice jacket, did you just get that?”ElasticThe elastic around the waist is nice and tight preventing bees from crawling up the jacket.CuffsThe cuffs have Velcro on them which allows me to wear my latex gloves normally and then tightening my cuffs. On my other jackets I had to put the gloves up over the cuffs which would eventually make them break. I use Thickster gloves and they work great with this suit.ZippersThe zippers took a little to get used to because on zipper over zips the other to create a perfect seal around your neck. The zippers are smooth and they come with rings for easy grabbing.VeilI’ve always used fencing veils and that is what this comes with. I really like that you can unzip the veil to get a drink. I sometimes listen to music while working the bees and occasionally my ear bud will fall out so this will make for easy retrieval.SizeI bought a medium jacket. I’m 5’7 and the jacket fits perfectly length wise and isn’t overly bulky.Working in the jacketI have 35 hives so I’m in them almost every day during swarm season inspecting a few a day and I’ve looked through about half of the hives in this suit and no stings. Working in the jacket is comfortable and enjoyable.Final thoughtsI purchased the olive jacket which the color turned out to be really nice. I like everything about the jacket. I’m going to put it through heck over the next few months so I will update if it doesn’t hold up. I think it will and I think this will become my new favorite jacket.
Ordered this Stingstopper in Olive green, once I received it(which was super fast) I had to put it to work. I went out and inspected my hives and the quality gave me that extra level of knowledge in how much protection due to the high quality of materials and craftsmanship. Thanks for what you do.
This jacket is excellent quality and my wife liked mine so much she bought one for herself!!
Stingstopper jackets are the best on the market. Replaced my old vented jacket and immediately felt the difference. Absolutely no stings and much cooler when working with my bees!
First of all I like the jacket. It is very high quality and it breathes so well even in the Southern high heat and humidity. The zippers seem strong enough but they are not easy to use and get stuck. the main jacket zipper sticks unless you grab the zipper base as you are zipping up the jacket. This is somewhat challenging at times especially if my gloves are on. The veil zippers are kind of confusing and get crossed over and again are frustrating to deal with as I am just trying to get dressed.I like the jacket and will buy again zippers are just not something I want to have to fool with. I also wish the vest pocket designed to hold pens was deep enough for paint pens to clip in as I keep losing mine.
