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

I absolutely love these! I use then to come my tattoos when I am at work and they don’t slide down and very comfortable to wear! They are very soft and durable as I work in the healthcare field they have been through it and stayed intact. It’s worth the money. And they are very breathable. Great thing about these is if you do get hot you can just slip them on and off.

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.

So far, so good! Got this sleeve to cover up a new tattoo in the sun. Unfortunately, I got it wrapped up around my shoulder, right before Spring Break! The sleeve is super comfortable, but it could use a strip of rubber or silicone up to to hold it in place. That’s my only “con” at this point (first day). I’ve only been wearing it for about an hour, so we’ll see how the sun protection goes.You can see a hint of the ink through the sleeve, which doesn’t bother me as long as it’s protecting! It gives a little compression, but isn’t TIGHT. As you can see, it does roll down a bit, but so far isn’t making it uncomfortable.I’m giving if 4 stars for the rolling reason, otherwise perfect so far!

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.

I'm in the hot Florida sun 2-3 hours playing tennis, pickleball or fishing and am very careful about sun protection. I've worn them 6 times now and have not had problems with product degradation; I wash them in cold water, normal cycle then drip dry indoors ... they dry in 30 minutes or so but you could put them on and they'd dry just as fast or fastere. Size/Fit: I'm 6'4" 250lbs with a muscular build; they are a touch tight but not so much that I'd stop wearing them. Unexpected benefits: no longer wear long sleeve SPF moisture wicking shirts, those got hot ... now I have evaporative cooling and my arms can ventilate. Something I found interesting was if its windy and a little cooler (75F) or in the shade, your arms get chilly and I have to take them off. Big bonus - they protect from no-see-ums!

These sleeves work great and they actually make my arms feel cooler than without wearing them. They fit well and I think they will block the sun from causing anymore sun damage to my arms. Nice product.

Great protection from the sun. I purchased the standard version. These sleeves wick very well. The fit is good on the lower arm but the upper arm has a tendency to slip down below the sleeve exposing it to the sun. The upper arm has to be adjusted and pulled up frequently throughout the course of an outdoor activity. If I purchase again, I will purchase the non-slip version.

Very comfortable sun protection for my arms while playing golf. Good quality fabric with lots of stretch.
