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.

Awesome. I found the arm covers a much needed relief from otherwise being sunburnt.
United StatesThese sun sleeves are effective do not get me overheated when I am riding. I got my jersey size which is Medium. I could perhaps have gone with small.
United StatesTried some cheap ones (that were a waste) before these Giordana Sun Sleeves. They are cut for a right / left arms specifically. Great materials and excellent construction. The gripper on the bicep is just right for me. They stayed put while riding (I don’t notice them at all). I wear medium jerseys in Giordana so I went with medium sleeves. They fit great. I am really pleased.
United StatesToday was the perfect time to test these Sun Sleeves: one of the hottest days of the year (95+) and high humidity. I I rode 35 miles and forgot I had the sleeves on. When I thought about the sleeves, I realized they were keeping my arms cool! They did not slide along my arm nor were they too tight. I assume they also provided cover against the sun. I plan to buy another pair. In my opinion, the protection against UV rays justifies the high price.
United StatesI ride with my Giordana sun sleeves every ride, especially in the summer time. I ride about 50-60 a day 6 days a week and I never go on a ride without them. First off you don’t even know you have arm sleeves on, so comfortable. They stay up with zero slippage even when sweating. I live in the south and with our hot and humid summers they are perfect for keeping the sun off of your arms but still extremely breathable. Highly recommend them!
