Great sun protection
Great protection from sun. Good for days when I don't want to put sunscreen on, or when not sure if it's needed.
Feel a bit cooler than wearing a thin long sleeve jersey. Arms sweat a bit in hot weather but haven't got too hot yet. Maybe white would feel slightly cooler but I preferred black
Sizing is in line with the arm warmers size guide (currently linked from the bottom of the site), with a good length.

Protect against sun and keep arms cool
For my bike rides, I really dislike using sunblock every time. I have these sleeves in black. They keep my arms cool and the protect me from the sun. I also have the Pearl Izumi knee sun protectors, so I go out with full coverage without the sticky sunscreen :)

Pearl Izumi is the only cycling clothing company that provided evidence of the sun protection afforded by these sleves. They sent me lab results! They work, because my arms have not tanned through this hot summer In the UK. They are comfortable and effective.
