    Seller was very conscientious in getting this out to me quickly. Packaging was very good. Item was smaller than I anticipated, but that's my fault for not asking. (Was A little pricey since it is so small). I don't recall if the description had a size somewhere else? USPS leaves a lot to be desired, but it got here in good shape after making several trips in and out of the same postal location.

    The pants fit great, the description was accurate, and at ~50% off retail price I'm quite happy with my purchase! Shipping was a bit higher price than I would have expected, but the pants also arrived faster than expected so I feel I have little room to complain. Packaging was great. I would buy from this seller again in a heartbeat!

    Very detailed but understandable. Bought it for my son who has 9 hives. He is very schooled in bees but he said he learns something new each time he reads it.
