Size 11 US workboots fit exactly, which makes it a pain to get the suit on and off with them on, so I would recommend tennis shoes. Which also fit snugly, but no hassle getting them on and off.
The face is adequately covered. Mobility is good. Really no problems at all, see video.
Delivery: On time and received what I ordered - size Large.
Suit measurements: Sleeve length is 21" measured from the armpit. Leg length is 36" measured from the crotch to the bottom of the boot.
Man measurement: I am 5' 8" 175 lbs. This suit fit my arms exactly, but another inch for reaching would have been better. The torso fit well wearing a sweatshirt underneath. The legs were a couple of inches long on me which was perfect for trudging through the woods. Booties easily fit my size 9 foot. Hood fit well over my cap.
Usage: Used it to tackle poison ivy and other vines, so I used it once and disposed of it. It was durable and worked very well so I am ordering a couple more from this same seller.
I got this suit so my boyfriend could work on my mold-infested (ewwww) car. We paired it with a 3M Half Facepiece mask. The suit worked really well. I wish there were a way to prevent slipping on the face but that's really my only qualm. Otherwise I'm satisfied and the gloves were also a great addition!
Was introduced to this suit while working as a machinist at a waste water treatment plant and worked well to keep contaminants off our clothes. The booties wear out from abrasion and any heat source from a plumbing torch will melt the material. It also doesn't breath so gets hot at times but if your looking for a barrier from fluids it works. I currently use it for working in crawl spaces under houses and works for me. It's not very thick so it it susceptible to puncture and abrasive wear. I consider this a disposable item
What I love:
Front zipper
Hoodie
Booties
Protective barrier from nasty stuff and dirt
Light weight
Minor cons:
Melts from heat source from brief contact (torch tip)
Booties wear out when crawling in dirt and walking around
Gets warm
It's a pretty good suit, but it didn't fit me very well. I'm 6ft 3in with a #12 shoe and I could just get into this thing and not quite all in with the booties, bending down blows out the knees so it's only good to me standing. This was the largest suite I could find, so if you're also a tall fella you're going to be limited in this outfit. If the booties were not part of the suit and separate, then it might have worked better for me.
The average "short" person between 5'5 and 6'0" will probably fit into this suite very well. I did like the black gloves that came with the suite, I didn't sweat as much in these gloves as much as the generic latex gloves I typically order.

Description
Longer zipper extends to chin for complete coverage of neck area Elastic opening for tighter fit at wrist Attached respirator-fit hood with elastic around face opening, designed to cover neck and chin and fit around respirator face mask Comfort fit design based on extensive wearer input to provide our most comfortable garment design that: enables a greater range of movement while stretching and bending, provides a more tailored fit, offers reinforcement in high stress areas for fewer blowouts, utilizes a longer zipper for easier donning and doffing and an elastic waist to better position the garment.
I am 5'11", 165lbs and the large allows good movement for me.
I wear this when I need to go into my crawlspace. It keeps my cloths clean and I can generally reuse the jumper a few times.
I recommend it!
Great product, I am a home inspector and this suit keeps my clothes clean when I crawl under houses. Highly recommended
My attic space has a VERY low ceiling. About 3/4 of my attic space can only be traversed by belly crawling. When not lying flat on your belly, you’re on hands and knees. To say it induces claustrophobia would be an understatement. I’ve found these Tyvek suits to be durable enough for multiple uses if you get the right size. I need the suit to be able to stretch and flex a bit with movements like raising my hands out in front of me or overhead and bringing one or both knees up to my chest.
I’m 5’9” and 190 lbs. I found the Large size suit to be too small for this demanding use. It became torn in the crotch and armpit areas from the long movements I have to due while crawling in this suit. I have used the Extra Large suit with great success. I’m on my 2nd Extra Large suit in 4 years. Granted, I try to stay out of the attic so I haven’t put the suit through daily use. I’ve probably climbed into the attic once weekly for the past 4 or 5 months (for rodent control activities).
I highly recommend this Tyvek suit, but suggest you buy a size larger than what you’d normally expect to wear (if you’ll be on hands &knees). BTW, it doesnt breath all that well and it can get hot. So keep that in mind. When I wear it, I simply wear shorts and a t-shirt under it with knee pads over it. It still gets sweaty but it’s not unbearable.
After reading so many negative reviews, I wasn't going to purchase this but I went against the grain and I'm glad I did. My husband needed to be covered up so that he could safely attack a wasp nest in a tree. I love the fact that this suit has a hood attached and booties for the feet. You're completely covered. Just cover your eyes and hands and you're good to go. I found the size to be accurate. My husband is 6'1" 260 lbs and size13 shoe. He usually wears a 2X in shirts, and that's the size I ordered in this suit. It fit perfectly with a little extra room and there was enough room for his feet (with shoes on inside).
I did read that a lot of people said theirs tore, so he was careful not to do a lot of bending, although he had to do a lot of reaching. He has since worn it again and it has still worn well with no rips or tears. It does the job and although it's lightweight, you feel secure because you're totally covered. No wasp stings here!!
I bought these for my emergency kit. I'm not a prepper. I think humanity is going to manage to muddle through.
AND I have lived in tornado alley, hurricane alley, and along the San Andreas fault. Natural disasters happen. Accidents happen. I'd rather spend the pittance it costs to have these on hand than not have them in the unlikely event that something might spill from the railroad behind my house or from one of the many industrial places near my city. I feel the same way about having lifestraws and mylar blankets and packaged food we can eat in a pinch.
You still need facemasks and gloves, and these are for dry events.
