Ventilated Leather Beekeeping Gloves – Long Gauntlet
Protect your hands and extend coverage further up the arm with Ventilated Leather Gloves from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. Designed for Australian apiary conditions, these long-gauntlet gloves combine goatskin leather with a ventilated fabric section and heavy-duty cotton cuffs.
The extended gauntlets continue past the elbow towards the biceps, making them a practical option for beekeepers who want additional overlap between the gloves and protective clothing.
Ventilation for Warm Hive Work
Long protective gloves can become uncomfortable during summer inspections. Therefore, this model includes a ventilated section to improve airflow while you work.
The leather remains concentrated around the hands, where contact with frames, boxes and tools occurs most frequently. The softer goatskin construction also supports better feel and movement than excessively rigid leather.
Long-Gauntlet Coverage
Key features include:
- Soft, hard-wearing goatskin leather
- Ventilated fabric section
- Heavy-duty cotton gauntlet
- Thick elastic cuff
- Gauntlets extending beyond the elbow
- Updated fit for improved dexterity
- Designed for Australian beekeepers
Current options span a broad range that includes 2XS through 5XL, with availability varying by size. Each order is for one pair in the selected size.
Pair with Your Protective Clothing
The longer gauntlet can be worn beneath the sleeve of a beekeeping jacket or full overall. Position the elastic section securely and check that no gaps remain between the sleeve and glove before approaching the hive.
Because the cuff extends higher up the arm than the short-gauntlet version, it may appeal to beekeepers who prioritise additional arm coverage during more defensive colony inspections.
Care and Maintenance
Wash the gloves carefully in cool water and dry them in the shade. Avoid direct heat or aggressive drying methods that may stiffen or damage the leather.
Inspect the fingertips, seams, gauntlets and elastic before use. Replace gloves when wear creates openings that could allow bees through.
No beekeeping glove is completely sting-proof. Correct fit, calm hive handling and suitable full protective clothing remain important.

Leather Gloves XS
By: Linda Richards on 24 October 2024These gloves are amazing. First time wearing these on the weekend and I had lot's of stingers in the gloves at the end of inspection, but no stings through the gloves. Leather is still a little stiff, but will soften over time.
