The best Men's Cycling Arm Warmers: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

An actual sunsleeve would be better. Sunscreen breaks down after 2 hours of sunlight, that's why the bottle tells you to reapply. A big hat to protect your head and neck. I'm not worried about getting sunburned, skin cancer is no joke.

They look like arm warmers but are made from the same material as underarmor, there’s a vast selection of them on Amazon, they come in a lot of fun colors too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073TVN384/ they’ll feel a little warm at first but once you sweat or get them wet any breeze will make them feel chilly.

I have 8 year PHN on my shoulder and it radiates down my arm to my hand and knuckles. I’ve tried CBD, acupuncture, TENS, Quell, capsaicin, gabapentin, lidocaine...very little relief. I recently started using these arm compression sleeves and they seem to help a bit. Only $5 including delivery if you have prime. Worth a try.

If anyone is interested. I use these that I found on Amazon. They work great. I only buy them in white as they tend to be a bit cooler than other colors and also match with any outfit that I'm wearing. https://www.amazon.com/Protection-Cooling-Arm-Sleeves-Activities/dp/B073TW7CR1/ref=pd_bap_rp_2/141-5968752-5556816?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B073TW7CR1&pd_rd_r=2679b68e-c102-4cab-a408-86d22f86398e&pd_rd_w=VcvhP&pd_rd_wg=M94Fz&pf_rd_p=3dad8606-079a-4e44-a2b6-9e295e1b470c&pf_rd_r=R3624DPQV1KXYKFN25AP&psc=1&refRID=R3624DPQV1KXYKFN25AP

When he is training in a short sleeve shirt, my son will just slip on some compression sleeves like these. That way he gets protection but it is cooler than an undershirt.

I don't think covering up tattoos is necessary (unless he's worried about the tats themselves), but if he insists on doing something I've been using UV Sun Sleeves and have been very happy with them. Based on the tan-lines I've been getting at my wrist the sun protection works and if there is any sort of breeze the "cooling" really does feel nice.

I bought them as more of a sunscreen (sun is very intense at this altitude!) but I'm sure they'd provide some warmth as well.

They are very stretchy and comfortable!

I have 2 of those jackets from the same company, with hoods. I live in a hot climate though so in the summer I use uv sleeves with my t shirt, similar to these (not the compression type though) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B073TWJ7LL

I would recommend something like these sleeves on Amazon. These are used by cyclist to protect their arms from the sun and they are great because you can just take them off once you’re done using them and you don’t have to carry around an entire shirt. They are also very cool in and are good in hot locations supposedly.

It seems like I’m in the minority, but I wore my wedding dress for my temple wedding and have absolutely zero regrets. I love that I have a wedding dress and a separate temple dress. This particular dress is going to have issues with the sleeves probably, but my recommendation is to get something like these sun protection sleeves instead of a jacket so you don’t cover up the rest of the dress. I did bustle my train for the ceremony.

i have THESE sleeves and like them when i'm out for a long time in the sun. they also make a leg version but i have not used them.

I have UV sleeves that I got on amazon. They’re usually about $8 or $9 and they go all the way up to my shoulders. Just looks like you’re wearing a tight undershirt.

It’s still good to protect yourself as much as possible (skin cancer isn’t limited to your face)! I would consider UPF/sun-protective clothing if you don’t like wearing sunscreen on your whole body (I sure don’t!). I just ordered some of these protective arm sleeves, and am planning on investing in some leggings as well.

It does partially depend on what time you take your walks/where you live though, as well as how fair you are. If the UV index is below 2 when you’re out, you shouldn’t really have to worry too much. If it’s higher and/or you’re very fair, definitely make sure to protect yourself!

A sleeve is perfect for being outdoors! I use these from Amazon which are rated UPF 50 (the clothing equivalent of SPF). I've done a few 5-6 hour hikes with close to no shade and have not been burned at all. And I am SUPER anal about protecting my art from those damn UV rays.

If you're extra anxious, you could put sunscreen underneath as well. But IMO the best part of sleeves is that they're low maintenance. You don't have to reapply anything every couple hours.

*Also, although the sleeves I linked are all UPF 50, darker colors like black are generally better at absorbing UV Rays better so that's the color I use. I own the white ones too and they work just fine, but it bugs me that I can see a silhouette of my ink through them if I look closely enough. Makes me a little doubtful.

Is there an increased chance of skin cancer in the whiter sections too?

also, could try using arm sleeves and sun hats. I wore these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZ0HFIU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for about 50 miles in the Southern California desert in direct sunlight and a baseball cap with a bandana under it to cover my neck and ear.

I only suffered a bit of sunburn on my hands and right at the corners of my eyes.

Floor length skirts aren't that much hotter and they're more comfortable in a lot if ways as a teacher. You could also get sun sleeves. My husband burns incredibly easy and has them. They're not as hot as long sleeves all the time (not the most comfortable thing either) but so easy to take on and off and wear with anything. They're not super fashionable but also look better than I expected them to. You can get them at outdoor stores, bike shops or golf shops I think.
