Review on UV Protection Arm Sleeves For Men & Women - Perfect For Cycling, Driving, Golfing & Running | SHINYMOD by Young Toulson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stretches without losing elasticity, best yet I've tried

I am in the process of rehabbing my elbow after having 3 screws put in and I've tried so many different compression products to cover my scar and help manage my skin hypersensitivity. Out of everything I've tried these sleeves are by far the best quality for price.These sleeves are very thin and stretch which I initially worried wouldn't provide enough compression but that's been okay. They allow significant freedom of movement and a lot of airflow and the elasticity means that they don't stretch out the way other products do. Before I tried these I bought sleeves from Vive and Compression Z that were thicker and initially more compressive but stretched out to the point of losing elasticity completely within Iess than two weeks. I've been wearing one sleeve daily consistently from Shiny mod and it hasn't lost elasticity. The Shinymod sleeves feel more like thick panty hose compared to "swimsuit material" like other sleeves that seem to lose their elasticity.The other sleeve I have tried was from Bdriven sports and it had much higher quality compression at a higher price compared to these Shinymod sleeves but it had these thick seams that just felt uncomfortable, especially with sensitive skin and a surgical scar. One of the greatest things about the Shinymod sleeves is that they are seamless and won't apply pressure or irritation to the skin which makes them extremely comfortable for all day use. The price is excellent. I can get 3x the number of sleeves from Shinymod as I could from Bdriven Sports for half the price.I do occasionally find I need more compression at the elbow but I have found a method that works better where I layer a thicker knit support elbow sleeve over top of the Shinymod sleeve underneath. This allows me to control my need for compression or freer range of motion during the day by adding or removing layers.The Shinymod sleeves do not have rubber grips to stay up on the arm but they don't seem to need that to avoid falling down and this again makes them seamless and more comfortable on the skin. I still need higher compression from my medigrips at night but lower compression from the Shinymod sleeves during the day works great.I'm 6' but with a narrow bone structure and these fit well by going high enough but not being baggy in the wrist like a lot of brands I've tried even in the smallest sizes.

Pros
  • My husband has large forearms and he is able to wear them very comfortably
Cons
  • May not be efficient in blocking UV rays
