Size guide

Size	Fit	Models
Standard	High-stretch, close fit without tightness	With gloves, Without gloves

The sleeves come in one standard size and rely on high-stretch fabric to fit a range of arms. They should feel snug but comfortable. If you feel any pressure, numbness or tingling, take them off.

Sun safety & care

These sleeves are a sun-protective clothing layer. They don't replace sunscreen, shade or other sun-safety habits.

Use sunscreen on all skin the sleeves don't cover, including your hands if you choose the model without gloves.
Make sure the fabric is fully stretched and smooth. Holes, tears or overstretched areas may let more UV through.
Follow NHS sun advice: seek shade during the hottest part of the day and wear a hat and sunglasses.
Take them off if they feel too tight or you notice any skin irritation.
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and let them dry flat in the shade.

UV performance

Tested in direct sunlight

The supplier's UV test compares UV intensity measured in direct sunlight with readings taken under the sleeve. In that test, the fabric blocked over 95% of UV.

Real-world protection depends on how the fabric is stretched, its condition and how you wear it, so keep the sleeves smooth, undamaged and pulled up fully.

Sun safety

Use them with sunscreen, not instead of it

Sleeves only protect the skin they cover. Apply sunscreen to your face, neck, hands and any other exposed areas, and reapply it as directed. Seek shade at the hottest time of day and wear a hat and sunglasses too. If you have a skin condition or a history of sun sensitivity, ask your GP or pharmacist for advice.

Soft stretch

A close fit that never feels tight

The nylon fabric has high elasticity, so it stretches easily to fit your arm and moves with you. It sits close to the skin without squeezing, for a fit that feels almost like nothing is there.

Good material and solid workmanship mean the sleeves keep their shape wear after wear.

They're light enough to wear for hours and to pack anywhere, from a handbag to a gym bag.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What are the sleeves for?

They cover your arms with UPF 50+ fabric when you're outdoors, helping reduce UV exposure on the skin underneath. They're a simple extra layer for driving, sport, walking and days at the beach, without wearing a long-sleeved top.

Do they replace sunscreen?

No. The sleeves only protect the skin they cover. Keep using sunscreen on your face, neck, hands and any other exposed skin, and follow sensible sun habits like seeking shade and wearing a hat.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF is a rating for how well a fabric blocks UV. UPF 50+ is the highest rating band. In the supplier's UV test in direct sunlight, readings under the sleeve showed over 95% of UV blocked. Protection is best when the fabric is smooth, undamaged and not overstretched.

Will they fit me?

They come in one standard size made from high-stretch nylon, designed to fit a range of arms closely without feeling tight. If they ever feel too tight or you notice numbness or tingling, take them off.

Are they comfortable in hot weather?

Yes. The fabric is breathable and has a cool feel on the skin, so your arms feel fresher than in a sweaty long-sleeved top. They're light enough to wear for hours on warm days.

What's the difference between with gloves and without gloves?

With gloves adds a glove section over your hand, which is handy for driving and cycling. Without gloves covers your arms and leaves your hands free. If you choose without gloves, use sunscreen on the backs of your hands.

Which colours are available?

You can choose Purple, Blue, White, Grey or Black. Both models, with gloves and without gloves, come in all five colours. White and the brighter shades look fresh with summer outfits, while Black and Grey are easy to match with sportswear and everyday clothes.

Can men wear them too?

Yes, they're unisex. The high-stretch fabric fits a range of arm shapes, so they work for anyone who wants extra cover for their arms in the sun.

How do I wash them?

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse well and let them dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, tumble drying and ironing, which can damage stretch fabric and affect how well it covers your skin.

When should I wear them?

Any time your arms will be in the sun for a while: driving, cycling, running, walking, golf, fishing, commuting or at the beach. Keep a pair in your bag or car so you have them when the sun comes out.
