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!!!

Size Bought:
Medium

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!!!

Works well in moderate heat

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I bought the white sleeve, fits true to size and is comfortable and stays up. I tend to run cold when I ride and overdress but these feel very hot for the first 30 minutes or so of the ride until I start to sweat and then I don't notice it as much, but it always does feel a little warm. I would not go so far as to say it is " cooling". I've worn it in temperatures from 68° up to 85° f and when it gets close to that temperature I'm constantly thinking about taking them off. I've been wearing sunscreen under just in case. I definitely won't be wearing them for rides above 80 or 85 so that means I'm only using them for a short part of every year as I have warmer sleeves for colder weather. I still haven't decided if it's worth the cost for that short time of usage.

A great accessory as we get older.

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.

These are good sun sleeves with one flaw

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I've had these sun sleeves for a few years now and they are very good in that they keep my arms protected from the sun and don't feel too hot. The one complaint I have about these is that the seam at the upper band can sometimes be a little irritating. It's not a very big deal, but occasionally I have to fiddle with them to keep that stitching from itching. Edit: I fixed this issue by ever-so-slightly melting the sharp corner with a lighter. Please don?t burn your house down.
