Worth it just for the peace of mind!
By Rich on 08/14/2020
For roughly the same cost as a cheap set of clothing, you can get one of these suits and work/exterminate with peace of mind. We've got a bad problem with wasps and hornets, and I bought this to wear while spraying. I've only had the chance to try it out once, but I had some angry paper wasps landing on the veil and I just shooed them away. To me (wasps/hornets are my one phobia), it's worth every penny. I can't answer anything pertaining to durability as I've only worn it once, but it seems to be of high quality. I've a bit hefty (5'7"/250#), and the 2XL fits with some room to spare (I also wore jeans and a heavy sweatshirt under for a bit more protection). I got lots more places to spray where I KNOW I'll encounter more wasps, and I'm glad I've got this suit in my corner now!
A life saver!!

I had not one, but TWO, yellow jacket nests in my yard. I was stung by the first nest I came across while mowing. Fortunately, a few days later, I found the 2nd one before getting really nailed! I ordered the suit before going after them again, and it's a good thing I did! These were the larger ones, and the nest was HUGE!! Now if I have a problem with bees again, I am totally confident on winning the battle against those little buggers!! Videos at: The Wind Seeker@YouTube.com #Yellow Jacket Hunter

Insurance policy
By Chris on 10/01/2020
I bought this for protection while dealing with yellow jackets nesting in our soffit. Was once attacked and chased by a yellow jacket swarm so am a bit concerned about a replay. They didn't attack this time so I can't say whether the suit really does protect. I am 5'10" and 180 lbs and purchased the "Large" size. The legs are plenty long, but the sleeves are a bit short, and shoulder-to-crotch is snug. Guess every body is different. Seems well made.
Ventilated Helmet Has Holes
By Jag on 10/06/2020
The ventilated helmet has a suspension system that keeps your head away from the interior of the helmet. The suspension system is secured in place with metal grommets. Unfortunately, the grommets have a hollow center that can allow stinging insects to enter near your head. I was not comfortable trying to cover the holes with the fabric mesh that is pulled down over the helmet. If you pull the fabric down all the way, the grommet holes are exposed and insects can enter. If you pull the fabric down just enough to cover the holes, I found that it can ride up and create a large opening at the top of the helmet. This can also allow insects to enter. Since I was dealing with a wasp nest, I wasn't taking any chances. I used duct tape to cover the holes. I don't feel like I should have to use tape to prevent possible entry. Also, the front zipper has two handles. When one is pulled up to close the suit, the other needs to stay near the crotch. If this lower handle rides up, your suit is open. I kept looking down to make sure that it was staying closed. Each time I looked, it was closed but I didn't like that I needed to keep checking to see it was closed. I wish the design of both of these items was better. I couldn't send it back for a refund or credit because I had wasps entering my basement. I had to use it immediately. This is the only item purchased from DoMyOwn that I regret.
High-Quality
By Corey on 05/28/2023
Found wasps coming and going from our soffit as well as starting to create a nest underneath. Local pest control co wanted $250 to remediate and I decided to handle it in my own and have the suit for future endeavors. I used the Bellow hand duster and the Tempo 1% as my pesticide, after blowing the dust in a few bees quickly flew away and from then on there's been zero activity. The suit is well made and feels up for the job, however I can say it wasn't actually tested (no bees tried to sting me... I'm cool with that).
Gloves review
By George on 03/27/2021
I don't think these gloves could protect against mosquitoes much less wasps. My previous suit had such amazing gloves, i am going to use those and wasps really gave up trying to sting my through the gloves but these gloves from this suit...hell no, I wouldn't use them to wash dishes. If minus stars were available...yeap, I would give those. I will upgrade the review to include suit and head cover (which looks solid in first impression, sturdy, nice, we will see how it performs during "battle.") So bottom line, make sure you have a good pair of gloves to use with this suit, the gloves provided are a joke. I include a request to the producer in their own language in case they play dumb: make decent gloves to go with the suit, don't be cheap. ??????????????????

One of the best purchases ever!!!

Good suit - Felt safe
By T.c. on 10/16/2017
I bought this suit because I stirred up a yellow jacket nest while cutting grass with my bush hog. I couldn't get anyone to help me, so I had to help myself. I guess the yellow jackets had moved on after I stirred them up, but I wore it anyway to spray the area with Optiguard Flex. I did wear the suit when I cut the area around where I stirred them up. I had great mobility. I did have to do something to keep the veil up so I could see well. GLAD I BOUGHT IT!!!

Complete Bee Suit
By Brien on 08/31/2016
This Bee suit is the complete package. Comes with well made suit with integrated zippered hat. Weaved hat fits inside to push the mask away from your face. Also comes with long quality gloves and Velcro and zippered pants to seal off and make it easy to get in. Warning though make sure you order a size larger. I am 6'2" in height and ordered a 2X and just fit. Rate this top notch!

Does it protect you
By Bob on 08/05/2017
I was skeptical when I purchased and initially used as I had an aggressive yellow jacket nest in the barn in our stored hay. I put the suit on and then went in to remove the nest. I found two active nests hidden between the hay bales and removed them in the daytime without being stung once! Had to do it in the daytime to find them so I was impressed that the suit worked, they were angry and aggressive and did not get thru the suit. A bit warm in 85 degree temp but worth it.

Perfect for my Tech
By Rae on 08/23/2019
I ordered an Xl, specs and reviews were accurate. Staff was also helpful. It's been used by two different tech--one 5-10 smaller frame and the other 6'1" with broad shoulders. If I could post a pic I would. My tech was up on a roof, swarming with angry wasps while totally protected and able to treat and remove the nest. Thanks!
