How It Works
Sheepskin is softer and a bit thinner than goatskin, which makes these comfortable and easy on the budget — a good fit for new beekeepers or as a backup pair. The elbow-length canvas sleeve gives you the same full-arm coverage as our extra-long goatskin gloves, closing the gap where stings usually land. For heavy or frequent hive work, goatskin holds up better over time, but for occasional use these do the job at a lower price.
Before You Order

FAQ
How is sheepskin different from goatskin?
Sheepskin is softer and lower-cost; goatskin is tougher and more durable for heavy daily use. For occasional beekeeping or a spare pair, sheepskin is a comfortable, economical choice.
Will bees sting through them?
Leather resists stings well. No glove is fully sting-proof, but a properly fitted leather glove rarely lets a stinger reach skin.
How should they fit?
Snug but not tight. The leather softens with wear, so a close fit when new breaks in comfortably.
