I bought these Sun Sleeves to protect my newly treated-for-skin-cancer skin from outdoor activity exposure and, most importantly, the sun that comes in my car windows ( I drive A LOT). They aren't hot, they fit great, they cover the backs of my hands (unlike a sun shirt I used to wear) and I couldn't be more pleased.

Medium is not small

Combining small and medium into one size does a grave disservice to smaller people. The sleeve is so long it is ridiculous. Waste of money. Disappointed in OR, especially since sun sleeves are essential in southern AZ.

Comfortable fit. Helps keep the sun off me.

5 years ago

Happy with purchase. Trying to protect myself a bit more from the sun. Especially for extended periods time. Im constantly going between inside and outside at work. Some times spending 5-6 hours in the sun. This has been a substitute for sunscream on my arms and much cooler then wearing a long sleeve shirt. Convenient takeing on and off. Extends just about all the way to the shoulder. Only after using a few times I definitely recommend for people trying to protect themselves a bit more or people who are sensitive to the sun.

Need a size Small

6 years ago

I was sorry to have to return these. I like the features (thumb hole and hand covering), but they were too long and loose for me. Please, please make a size Small. I will definitely buy a pair if you do!

Great on a run!

8 years ago

I purchased these to keep me from getting too much sun exposure on my runs. I have been able to run in them 3 times now and am very happy with them. They keep my arms cooler than bare skin and keep me from having to slather on sunscreen.

good sun sleeve

5 years ago

These sun sleeves are the best I could find out there. They are comfortable, cover most of the top of the hand (an essential feature, in my opinion), and are made of thin material, so work great in the heat. I would have given them 5 stars, but did not because the only thing lacking is that they slip down off my upper arms fairly easily. I have smaller/thin, but athletic arms, and the smallest size is still a bit too large for my arms when referring to circumference. The length is perfect. I wish the elastic was stronger to hold up the sleeves without slipping (I constantly have to pull them up) or they were made in an even smaller size.

Great lightweight sun protection

4 years ago

I wrote these out when the days were reaching 40+ÀöC at 2240m elevation on a glacier. This means there is double reflection of the sun bouncing off the snow. These performed great. They never slide down my arms and stayed put. They can double as gloves and I was initially concerned that it might cause too much bulk as I had to push them up to make room for my GPS watch. I hardly noticed the extra fabric. I didn't feel they were keeping me warm and I was not sunburned on my arms but I did get sunburned around the neck area despite applying sunscreen every 2 hours for an 8 hour day out.
