Sting Stopper Heavy Duty Goat Skin Beekeeping Gloves - Olive Green
Sting Stopper Heavy Duty Goat Skin Beekeeping Gloves - Olive Green
The heavy duty glove trades ventilation for maximum protection — double-layer goat leather in the high-wear areas (palm, fingertips) for beekeepers who want the thickest barrier between their hands and an agitated hive. Same short-sleeve, no-bunch design as our ventilated glove, built for durability over airflow. This is the Olive Green colorway.
Key Features
- Double-layer goat leather in high-wear areas: full sting protection where you need it most.
- Short canvas sleeves: fit under or over a suit or jacket without bunching. Sleeve length is 14" from fingertip to velcro strap.
- Reinforced elastic cuffs with wide velcro: secure, adjustable seal at the wrist.
- 2-year warranty.
- Machine washable: wash on delicate, air dry, then re-oil the leather with any leather conditioner. Skip the dryer — heat cracks leather.
Size Guide
Measure all the way around the widest part of your palm, excluding your thumb — that's your palm diameter. A slightly snug fit works best.
| Size | Palm Diameter |
|---|---|
| XS | 7.0" - 7.5" |
| S | 7.5" - 7.75" |
| M | 7.75" - 8.5" |
| L | 8.5" - 8.75" |
| XL | 8.75" - 9.0" |
| 2XL | 9.0" - 9.25" |
| 3XL | 9.25" - 10" |
The leather stretches with use — measure and order to your actual palm size, no need to size up for break-in.
What to Watch For
This is the warmer, less-ventilated option. If you're working hives in summer heat and want more airflow, our Ventilated Goat Skin Gloves use a vented hand and sleeve for the same sting protection with better breathability.
