Long Gauntlet Leather Beekeeping Gloves (Small to XXL)

These long gauntlet leather gloves are designed for beekeepers who need extended protection and comfort while working in hives. Available in sizes Small through XXL, these gloves are ideal for hot weather and extended beekeeping sessions due to their ventilation properties.

Key Features:

• Long Gauntlet Design – Offers extra coverage for your forearms, ensuring more protection from stings and bee contact.

• Breathable Leather – Helps keep your hands cooler by allowing sweat to evaporate, which is especially beneficial when working in the heat.

• Durability – Leather provides long-lasting durability and strength, offering excellent protection without being overly bulky.

Advantages:

• Ventilation: Unlike rubber gloves, leather gloves allow your hands to breathe, which helps reduce sweat buildup and makes them more comfortable in warmer weather.

• Comfortable for Long Use: Leather is a more comfortable option for those who work in their hives for long periods since they are breathable and not as prone to developing odor like rubber gloves.

• Durable and Protective: The leather material offers great protection against bee stings, and the long gauntlet extends that coverage up the arms, reducing the risk of stings along the forearms.

Considerations:

• Tactile Sensitivity: While rubber gloves provide better tactile sensitivity and flexibility, leather gloves are still suitable for general beekeeping tasks once you're accustomed to them.

• Gauntlet Length: The long gauntlet provides more arm coverage, but some beekeepers may find it uncomfortable if it bunches up when worn over their suit sleeves. If this bothers you, a shorter gauntlet might be a better option for a more comfortable fit.
