Just looking for something to use in place of sunblock and these work....but warmer of course
Review by Guillermo
I wear these all throughout the summer in the hot Southern California streets. They keep one cool and protected from the harmful sun. I do not need to spray sun block when wearing them and my forearms stay cool

It fits perfectly and seems to be of good quality. I haven't tested it under extremely sunny conditions though. I have used it under mild cold weather and works perfect! Very glad with my purchase

I live in the deep south and need sun protection for my arms on long rides. I've tried cheaper sun sleeves, but these are the best I've found.
Review by Gretta
I sized up from the measurements on the size chart. The sleeve fit great, but the band at the top was very tight. It restricted my muscle, even though I have soft lady arms. Was not able to try a larger size.

I ride in Florida where the sun is very strong and the heat and humidity are brutal. I use these to protect my forearms from sun damage, and they work great and fit perfectly. They can also be wetted to provide evaporative cooling while riding. I've used other brands of arm protectors but these are the best in my opinion.

I wear these routinely on all rides for a layer or to avoid applying sunscreen. Either way they are a win win staple for riding outside on local rides or even my double century events.

Where the sleeves on all rides for sun protection and warmth when needed

These are thicker, tighter weave, and warmer than the previous model. They work but I don't know that I will be wearing them in hot temperatures.

I've had carcinoma removed from my forearm. So these have become a requirement for me. They fit well and are very light weight. Just what I needed. They work as light weight arm warmers when starting a ride early, then keep me protected when the sun comes up. Keep them damp to keep cool when it gets hot.

My only caveat is that these sleeves or any sleeves don't last more than a season.
Review by Surly
Usually arm coolers are either to tight or loose..and then sag! These dont..or havent yet.
Act as warmers in the cool mornings..then cooler as the temp increases...esp good when wet...and no sunburned arms
Review by Henry
Helped my arms from a sun burn unlike previous rides. They fit well, I actually thought they would hold a lot of arm heat but were cool enough on a day of about 90 degrees. So, yes I will purchase another pair.

Bought these for my wife and we had to exchange them for a larger size. Now that the size is right they look like they will do the job of protecting her from the sun. Won't know for sure until summer.

These are exactly what I was looking for to protect against the sun. They do run small to the point of restricting circulation to my hands. I just had to reorder a size up. But if you have sensitive skin to the sun these will do the job protecting you.

They fit great and are very comfortable
Review by Andrew
Very comfortable. Good for cool mornings. Adequate sun protection on sunny days. However, a bit heavy for very hot days.

To keep the sun off on hot, sunny days, and to keep the chill off on cold cloudy days. The upper arm "gripper" section keeps them from sliding down, yet is not too tight or uncomfortable.

The Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves are awesome, they never fall down the arm, the fit perfectly. They definitely block the UC rays and are cool to wear. With the cool technology built into the sleeve
