Sizing & Fit Guide
The measurements in the chart (3rd image) already include the extra room needed for wearing clothing underneath and for comfortable movement while working in the apiary.
As a guide:
-
If you are 5'10" with a 40" chest/waist/hip, a Medium suit will provide the correct fit with ample room to manoeuvre, assuming the leg, back, and arm lengths are suitable.
-
If you are 5'11" with similar measurements, we recommend selecting a Large suit, again depending on your proportions.
Please do not add extra length to your measurements. Each BBWear suit is graded to allow for clothing to be worn underneath, ensuring a loose, comfortable fit with full range of movement.
