Tough Outdoors UV Arm Sleeves for Men Women - Sun Protection Sleeves - Compression Golf Baseball Cooling Tattoo Arm Sleeve

For starters I will say I live in SE Texas, and we get pretty hot down here. I mainly wanted something to cover my arms so I don't tan or burn. Since I'm pretty light complected I either tan, or I'll either burn. I don't want to do either so I looked for sleeves. These claim to provide a cooling effect. Of course I was skeptical. I usually like black but black tends to absorb heat more so wasn't sure how well it'll work if I got black. So I chose the light blue colour. As far as uv protection, it's hard to say but I'm assuming it is protecting my arms since I've neither burned or tanned. I have no car so Mom and I walk to work (22 minutes to and from) and I work 4-5 days a week and I've been using them since I got them (about 2 or 3 months now?) and I will say they have NOT LOST their hold!! I'm extremely surprised that they are still nice and tight and hacent been worn out or started to roll down my arms yet! So I'd say they have great durability in that aspect! I have seen a few threads starting to snag a long my wrists but it's not too bad. The material isn't so thin and cheap that it'll unravel from a lose thread. Theure also pretty long. My arms are quite short so I can literally slide these all the way up my shoulder and still have it cover my hand and fingers. It's stretchy but will keep it's hold around your arm. If you have plus size arms or big muscles, it'll probably fit you tight and be too uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Now onto the cooling factor. I will say it does AND doesn't work. Does it keep you cool? Yes and no. Yes if there is a breeze/some wind. It'll keep you cool. Especially if you walk into a place with a you'll feelt the cooling INSTANTLY! Does it keep you cool when there is no wind? No, no it does not. BUT it also WILL NOT make you hotter. Unlike a sweater, hoodie or normal long sleeve shirt that will make you hotter when wearing in this summer heat, these sleeves do not make you hotter. You can wear them and feel comfortable. And again when you get that wind, ooohh baby do you feel some coolness! So again yes and no to the cooling effect. But take this with a grain of salt since this is MY experience we're talking about. And again I live in SE Texas. So for others they might feel more of a cooling effect than me depending on the area they live in and the humidity etc. But all in all these are great. The compression is nice as well. I say these are pretty decent to try out! And the prices aren't too bad either! I will definitely be buying more from this brand!

I work an outside job full time. During the summer, I use these to keep me from getting sunburnt, as well as to help keep poison ivy off of my arms, as I do tree work. They keep me from getting sunburnt, but they don’t make me any hotter and are very breathable and keep me cool, even in 95+ degree weather. Material isn’t too thick and they seem to last a good bit of time, considering what I do for work being around trees and thorns all day. They stay tight on my arms as well and seem to hold up just fine, although they do get worn out after a while (my line of work puts them through hell, to be fair.) Overall, I like them and for the price you can’t beat them.

I play pickleball in the hot & humid SW Florida every day, 2-3 hours a day and need sun protection and prefer not using lotion sunblock - and these get the job done. One thing that amazed me is that they provide evaporative cooling and I never feel hot on my arms (or legs, I also use the same brand leg sleeves). Sometimes between matches I'll rub cool water over the sleeve to get some extra cooling punch. I hand wash in the sink and drip dry. No signs of wear or tear yet ... I own 3 pairs of these sleeves. Why 4 stars? I'm a fairly muscular guy and these are little snug on the biceps.

Excellent arm sleeves. Feels like second skin and does not roll on me. The length is perfect and you can pull to wear you want it stay under your short sleeves shirt. Most of all it’s comfortable and gives you the right coverage you need.

I wear these to help keep the sun off my arms but also to keep my body a little cooler while playing pickleball. I like that these just cover my arms, and I can still wear a short-sleeved top so there is more air circulation. The sleeves have light compression which has also helped to protect my arms from bruising if I get hit by a ball. The sleeves have snagged when they come in contact with the Velcro from my knee brace but otherwise, they are fairly sturdy. Many of my fellow pickleball players have started wearing the sleeves as well as we all look for products to help keep us a little cooler in the Houston heat. I would and have recommended these to others and wear them whenever I play outside. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to put on and take off and you can throw these in the washing machine and then just let them air dry.

Comfortable, breathe well, but seem to snag/tear easily. One of mine barely rubbed the corner of something at work the first time I wore it and it immediately frayed.

I do a very sun exposed job. These do the trick. They are a little tight of you have more than average muscle mass but they stay on. Blocks the rays ( wich for some reason feels hotter this year). Overall great product and arrived om good shape.

I live in Florida and I bought these hoping they would provide better sun protection for my arms than having to use sunscreen. My concerns were that they'd be too tight or loose and/or be too hot to wear on a long ride. Well I've only worn them on one ride so far (2 hours long) but my first impression is that they're perfect for what I wanted. My arms are on the thin side (14 1/2 in biceps) but the sleeves felt snug without feeling like they would cut off circulation. The stretch of the fabric made me think they'd probably be comfortable for a fairly wide range of arm thicknesses. The length was also perfect for my arms (I wear 35 in length for long sleeve shirts). The temperature during the ride was in the mid 70s and the humidity was about the same and the sleeves breathed well and never felt warm. I didn't wear sunscreen under the sleeves and there was no sign of sun burn or tanning when I took them off (it was a bright, sunny day). After the ride I handwashed them and hung them to dry in our laundry room. They dried quickly and still felt like brand new. So based on one ride, I'd definitely recommend them. Only time will tell how long they'll hold up but the fabric and stitch quality looked good so I expect to get more than my money's worth out of them. Finally, my review is my personal opinion and I haven't received and will not accept anything in return for submitting it.
