Swarm Commander® Extra Long Ventilated Goatskin Beekeeping Gloves
Extra long goatskin beekeeping gloves built for full forearm coverage and all-day comfort. The supple goatskin leather stays flexible while a ventilated mesh back keeps your hands cool through long inspections, and the elbow-length gauntlet seals out bees where shorter gloves leave a gap.
Features
- Soft goatskin leather: Naturally supple full-grain goatskin for dexterity and sting resistance.
- Ventilated mesh back: A breathable panel along the back of the hand and wrist reduces heat and sweat.
- Extra-long gauntlet: Elbow-length sleeve that protects the forearm and layers with your jacket cuff.
- Elastic top cuff: Gathered elastic holds the gloves in place during inspections.
- Seven sizes: XS through 3XL for a close, secure fit.
How they work in the apiary
The elbow-length design closes the gap between glove and jacket, so bees can't reach bare skin at the wrist. The ventilated back lets heat escape during summer inspections, while the goatskin palm keeps enough feel to handle frames, hive tools, and queen cages.
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 sting-proof?
No beekeeping glove is fully sting-proof, but thick goatskin leather gives strong resistance and the long gauntlet protects the forearm.
Will my hands stay cool?
The ventilated mesh back improves airflow, which helps on hot days compared with solid leather gloves.
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.
