SportsTrail Cooling Arm Sleeves for Men & Women – Breathable, UV Sun Protection, Sports Arm Sleeves for Women, Men & Youth

The best sleeves and I’ve tried many
I thought thumb holes would be a good idea but nope. The thumb holes are not hemmed and thus they eventually stretch, fray, and tear. So I stopped using the thumb holes entirely and now they’re just sleeves.Never put them in the dryer! Always let them air dry. They will dry within a few hours no problem.These are thicker than most others I’ve found on Amazon so I think they’re better quality. I would highly recommend you order the ones with the thumb holes despite not using them because they’ll be a little bit longer. Less stretch means better UV protection.Side note: they have the word “Meiyante” printed on each one. I don’t like that but’s not much of a complaint.Outside of all this, they work pretty good for my application… which is to protect my arms from the sun (or bugs at night) when riding my motorcycle. And they actually keep my arms cooler than without them. I’m quite comfortable in them.Note: I HIGHLY recommend you wash them thoroughly first because every pair of these I’ve ordered always cause ridiculous itching on my arms if I don’t wash them first. Over time, whatever is on them that causes them to itch fades away.

Selling Smooth Sliding by Brenna Stroklund
I have been playing sports for a long time now, and always try to keep up with the trends. The biggest one in volleyball is wearing arm sleeves, and for good reason. I first discovered them while watching volleyball on TV. Then I started to see colleges around me wear them. So I decided to try them out before the season started. Funny enough now at the end of the season, our whole team wears them everyday.Amazon is my go-to, and the cheap price of only 10 dollars for a pair is a great deal. The quality is perfect for anyone looking to protect themselves from the sun, cover up tattoos or burn marks, or just keep cool on a hot day. They came in the mail on the expected delivery time and were packaged well. When I opened them, they were sealed in a little plastic bag and folded. My first reaction was how soft they were; I wanted to put them on immediately. They were so comfortable that I wore them to volleyball practice that day.My first experience wearing the sleeves was all around positive. While diving on the gym floor, the sleeves were very smooth and prevented me from having any floor burns. During the practice, they stayed cool and breathable the whole two hours. So much so that I forgot I was wearing them at times. I did get one small hole in the elbow on the left arm. To prevent this I try to rotate the pairs so that they stay effective, however I don’t see a way you can patch the holes. I wouldn’t expect them to develop holes if you are doing any of the following activities: hiking, working, biking, spending time outside, or even bowling. In that case, they are actually very resilient.I was so impressed that I recommended these sleeves to my good friend on my team who is a phenomenal volleyball player. She plays the setter position which means she is always diving and sliding on the floor after balls. Every practice she wears them and also comments on how they look cool. Since she is planning on paying college volleyball, she bought her own pair off of amazon as well.After a few months of usage, they are still very promising. I just put them in the washer and dryer to get cleaned and that does not seem to damage them at all. Occasionally I will air dry them as well, but if you would rather use the convenience of the dryer, that is totally safe for this product. The only thing that is affected by the wash is after a few months the “Sports Trail” logo starts to break and peel apart. I can usually go for about three days of two hour practices before I need to clean and wash the sweat out. After that they are still very soft and don’t have odor.Overuse is what makes or breaks these sleeves. They are so cheap that I was impressed with the quality right away. However, when you use them almost everyday for 3 months, they can start to fall apart. Keep in mind that I am playing sports with them on a regular basis, so if your purpose doesn’t include physical activity, then this does not apply to you. Towards the end of my volleyball season, some of the seams on my oldest pair started to come apart. This is probably caused by my having to pull them up after a long play or match.I highly recommend giving this product a try for any purpose needed, especially sports. The occasional wear and tear is expected of any athletic gear, but you will receive great results for the duration of your season.

Very useful cooling arm sleeves for cyclists.
Use these for road cycling and they provide excellent comfort for those chilly morning rides. And even after things warm up a bit they’re still comfortable. I’m 6’ 185, with fairly long arms and these fit great. These easily slip on, and when in place, they reach just above my bicep, to just below my shoulder, and extend to my wrist just short of my palm. They never crept downward or inched upward from when I put them on. They’re breathable just like a jersey, and if things get too warm, they come off easily and fold up and store neatly in my jersey rear pockets. A must have for cyclists as the weather cools.

Great UV protection plus cooling
I bought 2 of these initially to protect my arm from photosensitivity from steroid usage for my poison ivy arms. They worked really well! Comfortable, protects well from the sun, and the cooling feature is nice, but are just a little too tight on my biceps (about 13in) so I bought a different sleeve with size options for more than double the price of these. Despite the price difference, it had an annoying seam AND I felt the UV protection was inferior, so I came back to these and bought another one. I really like them and just pulled the end of the sleeve way up to ny armpit where it’s a little thinner. The black one really absorbs heat, so stay away from that if you want cooling. The gray and the hi-vis green are great! I only wish there was an option for a larger size.

The sleeves are very comfortable to wear. Fits almost perfect. Waiting to wear it the next time i am out playing cricket.

I use these when I run and play golf, and they do exactly what I need – they block out the sun without making me feel I’m wearing long sleeves. They also dry very fast (whether from sweat or washing – I do not put these types of clothes in the dryer).I did notice that after a couple of rounds of golf, there’s some pilling on the sleeves, but I can live with that as it’s quite minor and to be expected given the amount of movement. They are still tremendous value!
