SportsTrail Cooling Arm Sleeves for Men & Women, UV Protective UPF 50, Tattoo Cover Up One Size White 1 Pair

It's difficult to find a good pair of arm sleeves. In fact I had to ask my brother who also purchases this brand. He swears by them which is why I got them.All in all they seem to be made a very good material. They didn't rip or stretch or poke holes when I wore them or put them in the wash. They are thick enough to be of quality without making your arm sweat. In fact, they really do have a cooling quality. I do not understand the science of how that works but when I had them on it was outside, I could literally feel it cooling my arm down which is pretty darn amazing.These are a little tight on the upper arm. I understand they have to be tight enough to stay but they do pinch a little bit so after a couple of hours I do have to take it off. Also I feel that these were made more for men type shirts that have the longer sleeves because women short sleeve shirts are more of a triangle so there is about a one and a half inch gap between the top of this and the end of my sleeve.Also my brother told me that only the black one actually covers tattoos which as people who have sleeve tattoos know they must be covered in many businesses and you want to protect them from the direct sun. As you can see in the photo it covers a good bit of it but you can still tell that I have a tattoo under the sleeve. I know this is important because a lot of people purchase these in order to cover their tattoos so this is the amount of coverage it has over black ink only tattoo sleeve.Overall a very good quality product and I would recommend it as long as you are fully aware of the coverage details.

Really nice sleeves to protect your arms while the earth burns up around you. Against my better judgement I tried them on a bright hot day without sun screen underneath, and they worked really well - no sun damage, plus they kept the sweat in so I actually lost less water than usual and felt a lot better at the end of 3 hours out in the mid-day sun. Only caveat is that the sizing runs a little small. For me it was perfect, as I have thin arms (strength, not bulk), but if you actually have biceps, these might be a bit tight. OTOH, tight is good, as you don't want clothing flapping in the wind while you ride. Glad I have two pairs so I can use them every day and keep them clean.

I like the thin/stretchy material and lack of seams. They do a good job of wicking moisture in dry heat and feel pretty cool. I also like that they come in white (I'll never understand why some brands insist on selling sun sleeves in dark colors).My only real complaint is the sizing. I'm not a huge guy (5'-11", reasonably athletic build, but slightly short arms for my height), and I realize they say one size fits "most". They do have a lot of stretch to them, so they fit better than I thought they would when first looking at them; but the fit is just a little too short at the wrists, I really wish they were just a little bit longer. Tall skinny guys with long arms should definitely look elsewhere.

*** My use is for cycling*** First use was on a 32mi high intensity gravel ride in 86°F. Perfect. Times of sweat it did indeed have a cooling impact. Second use was on a 61mi 15mph avg slog of a road ride on a 29er. Slow, long, hot day did not overwhelm me having "long sleeves". Great alternative to those who don't like sloppy/wet sunscreen. Can't beat the price. Works just as good as $30/40 for one pair name brand sun sleeve. Didn't slip or bunch at all. I have relatively small arms and size was perfect. More stretch prob even better "staying in place" aspect.They certainly might stretch and loosen over time. We shall see. But for the price, I'd give it a recommendation. I cycle 6,500mi a year. I'll use these till they can't take no more and prob get more when they wear out. I don't give 2 patooties if the logo at the bottom of the sleeve wears off.

I've bought my husband a few of these for his work of landscaping. He is in the heat all day and it works for his arms to protect from heat and also the blades of grass,leaves, tree's. I recently bought him some other one's and he said these one's are better and he prefers these ones. He's had these for about 3 years now and they are still durable. I've washed and dryed in machine and they still are good no problems with stretching out or slipping and my husband is not big he is very thin and normal size arms. I did stop washing in washer and dryer though because it is best to hand wash and dry and doesn't take long to do so they will probably last even longer doing that. All in all these have been the best with durability and longevity and stretch ability. I am also buying a lot more and only staying with this brand for now on. Like I said we've already had for more than 3 years and no tearing or losing its stretch or staying put with extreme landscaping.Wish they were cheaper but worth it and please after 3 years no multiple deal for the yellow green ones like the black,white, grey please give deal on other colors please.
