Review on Elixir Women's Racing Sun Protection Sleeves by Chris Shepherd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Like a second skin in underwear and compression

I found them very comfortable, they fit like a second skin and it's nice that there are no seams. It's true that the band around the biceps is tight, as others have pointed out, but it loosens over time. I wish they were extended to cover my hands, but they stretch enough that it's actually possible and I could probably fit a thumb hole in them. Some recommendations from the skin cancer website. Shades and heavier fabrics like denim or canvas offer more protection than sheer or loose fabrics. Loose clothing is preferable to tighter fitting clothing that can stretch and expose skin to the sun.” I don't expect them to give me the full protection that a denim or linen shirt would.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Compatibility
