Sun sleeves provide weightless protection at UPF 50+ that will last all day and actually have a cooling effect when you put them on! These fabric sleeves mean there's no need to apply and reapply sunscreen. The super-soft sun sleeves will keep you protected all day long.
What is UPF?Similar to the SPF of sunscreen ratings, UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures the effectiveness of sun protection in fabrics. A UPF rating indicates how much solar radiation penetrates to reach the skin. A fabric with a rating of 50 allows just 1/50th of the sun’s rays to pass through, reducing skin exposure by blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

United StatesSo far so good!
The fit felt a bit tight around the elbows but stretchy enough not be concerning so far. I would have preferred it to be a bit more slack in the elbow. Do keep in mind my arms are rather skinny too. Another thing I would have loved is more choices of design, different colors and prints.
United StatesShield the sun while staying cool.
Excellent sun shield, as well as cooling perspiration management. The sleeves keep me cool and dry.
United StatesFuture Use
The sleeves look good. Probably won’t use them until next summer. In New England, where I ride, the sun is now less intense. Although I might use them as warmers on intermediate cool/warm rides.
United StatesGreat style
Very soft and feels great
United StatesEffective and comfortable
Work well! You will get a bit sweaty -- you are wearing a garment, after all -- but you will not be sunburnt and you will be cooled well by the breeze. Excellent for long, sunny days in the saddle.
