Swarm Commander® Standard Length Goatskin Beekeeping Gloves
Goatskin leather beekeeping gloves built for maximum sting protection and a natural feel on the frames. The full-grain goatskin is thick enough to turn aside stings while staying supple for dexterity, and the standard-length cuff makes them quick to pull on and off between hives.
Features
- Full-grain goatskin leather: Solid, supple leather with no mesh openings, for strong all-over sting protection.
- Standard length: A shorter cuff than elbow-length gloves — easy on and off, and comfortable under a jacket or veil.
- Elastic wrist: Gathered elastic keeps the gloves snug and helps keep bees out.
- Natural dexterity: Goatskin keeps enough feel to handle frames, hive tools, and queen cages.
- Seven sizes: XS through 3XL for a close fit.
How they work in the apiary
Solid goatskin with no vents gives you the most leather between you and the bees, which many beekeepers prefer for hot or defensive colonies. The standard-length cut is the easy, everyday choice when you don't need a full elbow-length gauntlet.
Before you order
Measure around the widest part of your palm to pick a size, and size up if you wear liner gloves underneath. Sold as one pair. Goatskin is a natural material, so grain and color vary slightly from pair to pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves ventilated?
No. These are solid full-grain goatskin with no mesh panels, which gives more leather coverage and sting protection. For a cooler, mesh-backed option, see our ventilated goatskin gloves.
Are they sting-proof?
No glove is fully sting-proof, but thick goatskin gives strong resistance to stings.
How do I clean them?
Wipe with a damp cloth and let them air dry. Don't machine wash, which can stiffen and shrink the leather.
