Outdoor Research

Activeice Sun Sleeve

Great sun protection

I used these on a backpacking trip in Japan. Wore them daily for 18 days straight. Comfortable and protected me from the sun.

Great product!

I use these for golfing to keep the sun off my arms in warm weather and also in colder weather to keep warm. They have worked great!

Exactly what I was looking for

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

L/XL

I was searching for sun sleeves that were long enough and that actually stay up... and these are perfect. The top has a rubber grip that keeps the sleeves from sliding down, and the sleeves are long enough that even when you use the thumbholes, it doesn't pull the sleeve down your arm. I appreciate the additional finger loop that helps keep the top of my hands protected. The sizing is accurate- look at OR's website for the sizing guide. I will likely buy another pair.

Best Sun sleeves yet

Light weight, stretchy, and what they promise. Sun Blocking. Thumb Loops are fantastic for half glove coverage. They wick well creating evaporate cooling. I wear these daily at work and for play

Amazing for summer running

I use these almost every day for summer running. They reduce how much sunscreen I need to use. They're much better than wearing a long sleeve sun shirt because if I wear them with a short sleeve sun shirt it allows heat to vent under the arm and keeps me much cooler while still giving full sun protection.

Seams and sizing

To fit my skinny biceps, I had to sew the small/medium smaller at the top. An XS size would be useful for many adults and youth. I bought these with bicycling in mind...be aware that the seam at the end is immediately uncomfortable against the handlebars as it forms a lump right under the index metacarpophalangeal joint. I might end up wearing them on opposite arms, losing the palm grip, or above the thumb. All in all, I should have gone with a different product, but these should do for sun protection. The fabric feels nice and cool, and the top grip strip is comfortable.

Instantly felt the cooling affect

Super happy with these upon initial try-on. I haven't field tested them but first impressions are good. Very comfortable, I got size S/M, slim arms and they're great, maybe slightly big but they stay up well.

Comfortable and made with Quality

So I'm 5'11, 165lb and ordered the L/X so they definitely don't compress but that's not what I am looking for. They stay up during runs, really comfortable and made with quality. I have 2 pairs now and will use these often.

Most comfortable sleeves I had purchased

I had purchased numerous sleeves till date for my cycling and Outdoor Research is the most comfortable so far. I feel sad for my older sleeves but I just can't bring myself to use them again

So comfortable!

This is my third pair of these sun sleeves - I find them very comfortable to wear, very breathable and no itch. I find the t-shirt sun sleeves combo much more comfortable in the heat than a long-sleeved shirt so it's really great in the summer heat. I love being able to keep the sun off my forearms but also the backs of my hands.
