Sun Sleeve
As cyclists, we spend our dreary winter days craving the sunny days of summer, and while we love the feeling of warm sunshine casting its glow on us in spring, come July the sweltering oppression of a cloudless day can take its toll on our skin. Thankfully we have options, like the Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves that offer us full coverage without slathering ourselves with sunscreen, and with the addition of cooling properties that keep us cool.
The sleeves are constructed from Pearl's ELITE Transfer fabric with a full 50 UPF of sun protection to shield your skin, plus Ice-fil and In-R-Cool technology that reflect heat, and elevate moisture transfer, keeping you as cool as possible on the hottest of days. The sleeves are easy to slide on, and lock into place on your bicep with a gripper, so you won't end up with an unsightly sunburned gap between your jersey and sleeves after a long day on the bike.

WAY Better Than Sunscreen!!!

After years of using various sticky/smelly sunscreen, I decided to give these a try. All I can say is WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG??? A simple & clean solution for those of us in sunny climes. Protects me from the West Texas sun and even the West Texas blowing dust that stings the legs but not the arms! No problem at all wearing these in high heat and I have also used them on chilly mornings. I greatly prefer using these to sunscreen and on chilly mornings instead of a long-sleeve jersey (remove them when the heat arrives). I wear them twice daily and wash them weekly. They appear to be very durable. I have moved from size large to size medium for a tighter fit around the upper arm - no complaints. I wear the white version. AWESOME!!!

I prefer not to ride when the sun is straight up. These sleeves will definitely expand my options. I can also see the sleeves as an arm warmer when there is just a touch of coolness in the air. My purchase was a medium and are a bit long. But it's impossible to get a product like this to fit every arm perfectly. These will work just fine.
