Review on Stay Protected Under The Sun: HOPESHINE Arm Cooling Sleeves With UPF 50+ UV Protection For Cycling And Outdoor Sports (3-Pairs) by Jimmie Trotto

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wore this almost all of summer 2018

I work outdoors. Originally, I got another brand of arm sleeves in white that was much thicker than these. The white ones stained horribly (despite careful nightly handwashing) and wouldn't stay up on my arm. Not wanting to go back to a regime of yet more sun tan lotion, I picked up these. After a season of wearing them this is what I found: they stay up on my arms, no problem. They can make my arms itch after awhile, I take them off as soon as I get out of work/the sun. They do get snags and will get torn up on metal and other things, so just expect to replace these every season or so. I got the medium gray ones and they are definitely hotter in temperature than the white one of the other brand I originally had. It was definitely better than repeatedly slathering my arms in sun tan lotion, although it didn't provide as much sun protection as I'd hoped - my arms still tanned. The gray color looked good, I got lots of questions and compliments. They gray also didn't show stains. My only wish is that these actually provided more sun protection.It's very much like wearing panty hose on your arms, it's a weird sensation. It was great to get 3 sets to rotate through. Undecided if I'm going to try a different color this year with the same brand, or to try something else.

Pros
  • Great for people who want to stay active and protected
Cons
  • May not provide enough protection for those with extremely fair skin
