Leather Beekeeping Gloves – Short Gauntlet

Choose hand protection that works comfortably with a full bee suit or beekeeping jacket. These short-gauntlet leather gloves from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies combine soft goatskin palms and fingers with a heavy-duty cotton cuff.

The goatskin leather is designed to remain relatively supple while providing a hard-wearing barrier for regular hive work. Meanwhile, the updated fit has been designed to improve manual dexterity when holding frames, operating a smoker or using a hive tool.

Why Choose the Short Gauntlet?

The cotton gauntlet extends almost to the elbow rather than continuing high onto the upper arm. This makes the glove particularly convenient when the cuff is being worn underneath the sleeve of a jacket or full overall.

A thick elastic section helps hold the gauntlet against the arm and reduces loose openings where bees could enter.

Designed for Practical Handling

These beekeeper leather gloves are designed by Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies for Australian beekeepers. Key features include:

• Soft yet hard-wearing goatskin leather
• Heavy-duty cotton gauntlets
• Thick elastic cuffs
• Shorter gauntlet profile
• Improved fitted design for dexterity
• Broad size selection

The shorter cuff works particularly well with protective jackets and suits, where the garment sleeve can overlap the glove.

Cleaning Your Gloves

Wash the gloves carefully in cool water and leave them to dry naturally in the shade. Avoid excessive heat, which can affect leather flexibility and fit.

As with all beekeeping protective clothing, gloves cannot guarantee complete protection from every sting. Avoid wearing leather so tightly against the skin that there is no space between the hand and the outer surface.
