Description

Long sheepskin-palmed gloves with 45-50cm canvas sleeves that keep your wrists and forearms covered during hive work. Soft leather keeps your grip at the frame and the thick-line canvas cover reaches past the suit cuff.

Soft, flexible sheepskin gloves with long breathable canvas sleeves for safe beekeeping

Solves
  • bee stings on wrists and forearms
  • stiff gloves that limit hand movement
  • hot or sweaty arms under protective gear
  • pilling or wear on cheap sleeves

Protect your wrists without losing hand feel

Stiff, short gloves leave your forearms open to stings and your fingers clumsy at the frame. These pair soft sheepskin palms with 45-50cm breathable canvas sleeves so you can work the hive with confidence.

Sheepskin Hands, Canvas-Covered Arms

Sheepskin palms that keep your grip

The palms and fingers are cut from natural sheepskin that stays soft and flexible. Lifting a frame or turning a hive tool feels close to bare-handed, and the leather gives in the fingers instead of bunching up like stiff cowhide.

Sleeves that cover the gap

The extended cotton sleeves run 45-50cm and close the wrist-to-forearm gap that short gauntlets leave open. Elastic gathered cuffs pull the sleeve snug over your suit cuff, so there is no loose edge for a sting to find.

Glove size chart with sleeve length marking and sizes M, L, XL

Sizes you can check first

Gloves come in M, L and XL, and the chart lists sleeve length for each one. Measure your arm before you order and you will know which pair fits.

The Figures Behind the Fit

  • 45-50cmExtended canvas sleeve length
  • 32S/2Thick-line cotton yarn count
  • 3Sizes available: M, L and XL

Wash Them, Keep Them Supple

  • Easy to clean

    The canvas sleeves and leather palms are built to stand up to regular cleaning.

  • Dry in shade

    Air dry out of direct heat. High heat stiffens the leather and shrinks the canvas.

  • Reshape while damp

    Shape the palms by hand while still slightly damp so the fingers keep their movement.

Sleeves That Reach Past the Gap

Questions and answers

Will the sleeves fit over my bee suit or jacket cuffs?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, that is what the length is for. The sleeves run 45-50cm, so you pull them over the suit cuff and the elastic gathers the join. Check your suit cuff against the size chart before you order.

How do I choose between M, L and XL?
w
Wanelo · seller

Measure your arm and compare against the size chart in the photos. The chart lists total length, with L at 46cm and XL at 49cm. If you sit between two sizes, the larger pair gives the sleeve more room over a suit cuff.

Is sheepskin too warm for hot summer inspections?
w
Wanelo · seller

The palms are leather, but the sleeves are breathable cotton canvas, which keeps the forearm area lighter than a closed sleeve. The leather only covers hands and fingers, so you still get grip without a heavy glove on the whole arm.

Can I machine wash the canvas sleeves and the leather palms?
w
Wanelo · seller

The sleeves are built for regular cleaning and the canvas is anti-pilling. Keep the leather away from direct heat and air dry in shade. Reshape the palms by hand while they are still slightly damp.

How do these compare with short beekeeping gauntlets?
w
Wanelo · seller

Short gauntlets leave the forearm open, which is where many stings land. These extend the cover to 45-50cm while keeping sheepskin palms, so you keep finger movement at the frame and lose the gap at the wrist.

Are these worth the price over cheaper gloves?
w
Wanelo · seller

Cheap sleeves pill and fray after a few washes, and a sting costs a session. Sheepskin palms and thick-line canvas are the premium materials here, and a pair that lasts several seasons costs less per inspection than replacing worn gloves every year.
