Red Kap Men's Twill Action Back Painter's Coverall

These painter’s coveralls worked perfectly for a Halloween costume! I used them to dress up as a Masters caddy, and the look came together great. They’re comfortable, durable, and have that authentic workwear style that really completed the outfit. Great quality and definitely reusable beyond just a costume!

I purchased these overalls for beekeeping. I wear a couple of layers under the overalls, because I don't want to feel a sting. My first day of beekeeping, I got stung in the back. I had no clue until I got inside and took off the suit & layers. Really, I did not feel it THEN. My husband saw the sting on my back, when he told me I felt a slight burning feeling. Nothing big. I beleive it was because of the layers and the overalls. These overalls are not made of flimsy material. I did not sew up the openings on the sides as others did. I like to put my phone in the pocket of my pants under the overalls. I do this because the overall pockets are full of bee tools and other things I might need at the hive. The pockets are huge and can hold everything I need. When I get a call, I can reach in the openings of the suit. I am glad those slits are there. I have washed the overalls several times and noticed no seams coming undone or wear and tear. The overalls are white, so there is some minimal staining where I brushed up against things and got dirty. I did not use bleach because I can live with a few minor stains. I wear my bee veil under the overalls, and can still button the very top button despite the extra veil material. There's no elastic on the arms, so I purchased pants blousing straps to keep them shut tight. I do the same at the ankles. It may be overkill, but I feel safer all tucked in like that. I have been using this "bee suit" all summer, and I am pleased with this purchase!

Like the other reviewers, I sewed up the pocket access slits. There are still actual-pockets in the coveralls that I use. I'm an hourglassy 5'7" / 130lb female. The only issues I have are with the upper-half: the top snap is too close to my neck, and the shoulders are bit hard to get into. The legs are the right length, and my torso isn't longer than most, so I'm not sure they designed the proportions as well as they could. They don't have any elastic in the limbs, so you have to tuck them into your gloves/socks. I wore these to collect a swarm, which got angry at one point. The only sting I got was through my sock where I used it to seal the pants - so I'm ordering gators to go over these at the bottom. They tried and failed to sting through at other points.

I ordered the large (L) and extra large (XL). When you get into the large, you need to go in legs first then one arm at a time. The crotch does feel a bit short (between arms and crotch), but not an issue once the coverall is completely on. Removing the large coverall feels like your coming out of a cocoon, where you need to wiggle out of it. The extra large is similar to the large regarding the crotch, it’s 25% easier to get into but there is a lot more space in the belly section, making you look like a Danny DeVito fat penguin. I elected to keep the Large and return the XL. The fabric material has great thickness (not see through) and quality. Good zippers. 6 total pockets, 2 rear large pockets, 2 front large pockets, 2 front openings that allow you to reach your pockets of whatever you’re wearing under the coverall. There are no front chest pockets. Knowing what I know now, would I still buy this product? YES!

I purchased this to do yard work in hopes to be protected from scratches and keep the biting insects at bay. I am happy with the purchase. As for the fit... I am a short, overweight woman and was happy it fit even in the arms. I am 5 ft 3 and so the length was longer than I needed but I got the sz because the fit in other areas was more important to me. Breathability... I was dripping in sweat and believe it was probably a combination of the fabric and the outdoor temperature, etc. It appears to wash well but on the flip side we have one of those "HE" machines that don't wring/beat up the clothes like the upright agitator (I missed those...) I will update the review if there are notable changes.

I bought these to wear for beekeeping. I read several reviews that said they run small/short so I ordered the next size up. I am 6'2" 230 and figured I would need an XL so based on the reviews I ordered the XXL. You could fit two of me in these things and they are a couple of inches too long as well (I normally wear 34 inseam). Other than being huge, they are great, made from nice heavy material and should last a long time. I will keep these, just wearing out in the bee yard so the extra bulk shouldn't bee a problem :-) I would definitely buy again but in a smaller size.

This suit is a great value for the money, but if anyone is looking for a summer weight suit, this has a little heavier material than the red cap speedsuit with the short sleeves. This one is also a little bigger than the speedsuit (which to me isn't a bad thing). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EZ158K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have the short sleeved speedsuit in white and it is great for summer garden/lawn work. I wear those sun sleeve things & a hat and then I'm all protected from the sun and also mosquitoes and ticks. White is great for seeing the ticks on you. Yes it's hotter than wearing a t-shirt, but I don't mind the trade-off.

I had an older one if these and figured it was time for a fresh set not covered in paint and caulk. This is made well but despite picking my correct size (even a bit bigger) I find this hard to get out of. It’s a bit like a straight jacket Now my shoulders are a bit broad for my frame but not THAT much. The top of the coveralls hooks over your shoulders so you have to really twist and turn to get free. A little more vertical material and this wouldn’t be a problem. I recommend going up a size if you have wide shoulders.

Its nice and baggy, full of pockets and made of decent material! It's just as good as what you'd get from a hardware store but for a fraction of the price.

Fits slightly big but is very comfortable and material is resistant. Washed a few times without problems. Very happy with it!

Makes me sweat in the summer sometimes. Maybe you can use a more breathable material or air holes

Great for tick protection. I spray insect repellent around the ankles, wrists, neck and side openings. These stand up to climbing through brush and tall plants instead of ripping like disposable coveralls. To purchase in my size (slender) is a bonus.

love it
