Nice and big & very lightweight. Now I don't know how well this would do with aggressive bees, mine are pretty docile so I only need this when I'm in the hive for a long time and they start to get agitated and start telling me to leave. This top is good to keep the bees from getting to your head or in the folds of a your shirt.
I'm not a super big guy but I am 6' and slim, the sleeves are plenty long and the hat is not tight. It feels like putting on an oversized sweatshirt but one made of lightweight yet stiff fabric. I imagine someone around 250# would be comfortable in it. The hood has a zipper to open but does not come off completely.
The bottom and the cuffs have elastic to keep everything out that is not trying too hard to get in.
This is not a wear it every day quality, it's a wear it a few times a season for a couple hours quality. But if you are not rough with it and take care it should last several years.
I gave it five stars because I am judging the quality by the price paid and in that it is a good value.

Does the job, although ventilation could be better
I have used this suit for a season of beekeeping as an amateur backyarder with two hives. The suit is well built and survived the season with ease. Two pockets are included in the front, which allows for a quick placement of hive tools when working with less-than-friendly bees. In the summer months, ventilation can be an issue. I would advise using the suit in the early morning hours anyway, as checking the bees is a little easier in the morning before they go foraging for nectar and pollen. After a season, the suit will be covered in bee frass (poop) and be discolored, but this is to be expected.
