Red Kap Men's Twill Action Back Painter's Coverall

I purchased these overalls for beekeeping. I wear a couple of layers under the overalls, because I don't want to feel a sting. My first day of beekeeping, I got stung in the back. I had no clue until I got inside and took off the suit & layers. Really, I did not feel it THEN. My husband saw the sting on my back, when he told me I felt a slight burning feeling. Nothing big. I beleive it was because of the layers and the overalls. These overalls are not made of flimsy material. I did not sew up the openings on the sides as others did. I like to put my phone in the pocket of my pants under the overalls. I do this because the overall pockets are full of bee tools and other things I might need at the hive. The pockets are huge and can hold everything I need. When I get a call, I can reach in the openings of the suit. I am glad those slits are there. I have washed the overalls several times and noticed no seams coming undone or wear and tear. The overalls are white, so there is some minimal staining where I brushed up against things and got dirty. I did not use bleach because I can live with a few minor stains. I wear my bee veil under the overalls, and can still button the very top button despite the extra veil material. There's no elastic on the arms, so I purchased pants blousing straps to keep them shut tight. I do the same at the ankles. It may be overkill, but I feel safer all tucked in like that. I have been using this "bee suit" all summer, and I am pleased with this purchase!

I purchased this to do yard work in hopes to be protected from scratches and keep the biting insects at bay. I am happy with the purchase. As for the fit... I am a short, overweight woman and was happy it fit even in the arms. I am 5 ft 3 and so the length was longer than I needed but I got the sz because the fit in other areas was more important to me. Breathability... I was dripping in sweat and believe it was probably a combination of the fabric and the outdoor temperature, etc. It appears to wash well but on the flip side we have one of those "HE" machines that don't wring/beat up the clothes like the upright agitator (I missed those...) I will update the review if there are notable changes.

I ordered the large (L) and extra large (XL). When you get into the large, you need to go in legs first then one arm at a time. The crotch does feel a bit short (between arms and crotch), but not an issue once the coverall is completely on. Removing the large coverall feels like your coming out of a cocoon, where you need to wiggle out of it. The extra large is similar to the large regarding the crotch, it’s 25% easier to get into but there is a lot more space in the belly section, making you look like a Danny DeVito fat penguin. I elected to keep the Large and return the XL. The fabric material has great thickness (not see through) and quality. Good zippers. 6 total pockets, 2 rear large pockets, 2 front large pockets, 2 front openings that allow you to reach your pockets of whatever you’re wearing under the coverall. There are no front chest pockets. Knowing what I know now, would I still buy this product? YES!

Great product.

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm a 5'5" woman and on the heavy side. I needed something I could quickly put on over my clothes when the mood to paint struck (I'm an artist). It's a little long for me in the legs and arms, but I just roll them up. Most important was it fits perfectly across my chest and rear end and I free and easy movement with not restriction. SO it's a little over sized but great otherwise. The material is quite thick, heavy and substantial (not thin and cheap), I expect this will last quite a very long time. Very heavy canvas-type material.

Great quality! Oversized fit

Need to order one size up to wear over clothes and to make crotch to shoulder distance long enough not to inure yourself. This makes the legs and arms very long and the shoulders baggy. Buttons are a pain but, I wont use it that much to make a difference. Only buttons were available with the 100% cotton. Plus for cotton. Minus for buttons. If you are really planning on using this regularly get a zipper model. Take your biggest dimension and add two inches eg 46 in. order size 48 then get them cuffed. I don't know why all these things are so short crotch to shoulder it makes it really hard to put them on yet so much extra material in legs (like 4 in.)

Good for cosplay as well

Its nice and baggy, full of pockets and made of decent material! It's just as good as what you'd get from a hardware store but for a fraction of the price.

Great for tick protection. I spray insect repellent around the ankles, wrists, neck and side openings. These stand up to climbing through brush and tall plants instead of ripping like disposable coveralls. To purchase in my size (slender) is a bonus.

Makes me sweat in the summer sometimes. Maybe you can use a more breathable material or air holes

love it

Fits slightly big but is very comfortable and material is resistant. Washed a few times without problems. Very happy with it!
