I was skeptical when I ordered this. Then it arrived and I opened the package! Wow, the quality just blew my mind! The material is thick, seams are sound, and the cuffs and elastic are really well put together. When I put the bee suit on, I really felt confident it was going to protect me, and it did! I laced up my high top Timberland boots, donned the gloves I ordered separately from Amazon, placed the protective netting hood over my head, zipped everything up and headed out to destroy a yellow-jackets nest bored deep in the ground of my flower bed. This was my first experience using a bee suit and I must say, the experience was just that! It was extremely odd hearing the wasps buzzing merely inches away from my ears, set on making me pay for what I was doing to their home. Hey, I have small children so I didn't feel one bit of empathy for them. In the end, I prevailed sting (or bite, or whatever they do) free. One bit of advice though.... Prior to taking the suit off, make sure you're a GOOD distance away from the destruction. I was a good 25-30 yards away and they nearly got me... I had several follow me to my car, unknowingly, where I de-suited to put the gear in my trunk. It wasn't but a minute or so after taking the suit off that I heard, then saw, them trying to attack me. Luckily I was quick and threw the gear in my trunk and quickly and carefully entered my car, swatting the whole way. Now I'm no expert, but I'd give it at least 24 hours before re-entering the area near where their nest used to be.
