Slathering on sunscreen every couple of hours is a faff, and easy to forget once you're moving. These cooling UV protection arm sleeves solve that in seconds: pull them on, and your arms are covered from wrist to upper arm for the entire session, with no reapplying and no slipping down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/5864\/0115\/files\/arm-sleeves-use-case-collage.png?v=1781182414\" alt=\"UV protection arm sleeves worn for cycling, golf, hiking and running\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes These Sleeves Worth It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eUV-blocking fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — shields your arms from UVA and UVB rays during outdoor activities, cutting sun exposure without constant sunscreen top-ups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eStretchy spandex and lycra blend\u003c\/strong\u003e — the fabric flexes with every pedal stroke, swing and stride, never restricting your movement whether you're cycling, golfing, hiking or running.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-wicking and quick-drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — sweat is pulled away from the skin and evaporates fast, keeping your arms cool and dry whilst you're active.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eDouble silicone grip bands\u003c\/strong\u003e — two reinforced anti-slip bands at the upper arm hold the sleeves firmly in place, so there's no tugging them back up mid-ride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eReflective strips built in\u003c\/strong\u003e — extra visibility for early morning and evening rides or runs, especially handy through darker UK months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eDouble-stitched stress points\u003c\/strong\u003e — reinforced seams stand up to repeated wear and washing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/strong\u003e — straightforward to care for, holding their stretch and shape wash after wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/5864\/0115\/files\/infographic-1-features_f8304954-71d8-4c22-83ef-d26d7222dceb.png?v=1781182250\" alt=\"Arm sleeves key features infographic\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere They Earn Their Keep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn long cycling rides they give you arm coverage without the warmth of a full-sleeve jersey, and the reflective strips add visibility at dawn and dusk. Golfers and hikers wear them for all-day sun cover without reapplying cream every few holes or miles. They're just as useful for fishing, gardening, allotment days, outdoor markets and any job that keeps your arms exposed for hours. The light compression fit suits running and other dynamic sports, and on chilly British mornings they double up as light arm warmers — plus they work as a tattoo cover or a light barrier against midges and mosquitoes in the warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fabric, Explained\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sleeve is made from a spandex and lycra blend — elastic fibres that stretch to match the shape of your arm and spring back afterwards, giving a close, consistent fit that never feels tight. The weave is designed to wick moisture off the skin and spread it across the fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly. Up at the bicep, two silicone anti-slip bands grip gently to stop the sleeve sliding down, even through repetitive arm movement, whilst the reflective strips are integrated into the outer fabric without affecting comfort or stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/5864\/0115\/files\/infographic-2-technical_cbbdb8c3-33dd-4b9e-96b2-a2aafc532732.png?v=1781182361\" alt=\"Arm sleeves technical fabric details infographic\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow They Compare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThese Arm Sleeves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical Arm Sleeves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV-blocking fabric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVaries — not always rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-slip system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble silicone bands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle band or none\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReflective elements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated reflective strips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot always included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFabric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpandex + lycra blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVaries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture-wicking, quick-dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot always wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOften hand-wash only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePutting Them On and Wearing Them\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoll each sleeve lengthways and slide it on from the wrist upwards, settling the silicone grip bands at the upper arm.
