Great Sun Protection, Good Fit
I use these sun sleeves for road biking, and so far I like them a lot. I bought them specifically to prevent my pale arms from burning since sunscreen doesn't cut it. So far I've worn the sleeves for about 100 miles total on sunny trails, and I haven't gotten sunburned at all. I don't find these to be cooler than bare arms, but temps have been 90+ degrees here, so I'm not faulting the sleeves for that. They are not so warm that I'm tempted to remove them mid-ride; really they're only slightly warmer than bare arms would be.As for sizing, I'm 5'1" tall and my arm inseam (wrist to pit) is about 16 inches. My size Small sleeves measure 16.5 inches which is the perfect length for me since my extended arm necessitates a bit of extra length to ensure there's no gap between jersey sleeve and sun sleeve.The only slight con would be that I think they'll be hard to keep clean. Between dust, dirt, grease, and grass stains (I may have fallen off my bike once...), my sleeves are not the pearly white that they were new, even after machine washing. They don't lose any stars for that though.I would recommend these sun sleeves, and I wil

Great product
Friends recommended this product to me for my half-Ironman distance triathlon and I was very pleased I had purchased and used it. It kept me cool during the 85 degree day, and kept me from getting burned! I definitely recommend this for those who will be out in direct sun for hours on end.

Great sun protection
Super light and comfortable. I thought they would get hot but actually was cooler for my arms with them on, reflects the sunlight.

Are long, not too hot, good protection
These do run long--have a medium and wish they wer just a inch or two shorter. They are fairly cool, but they do get a bit hot on long and hot rides--I live in the deep south of the US so summers are very hot and humid. I use them on cool winter rides, again I live in the deep south of the US so it doesn't get cold here. They stay in place well, which always a good feature in an arm cooler/warmer. The reflective accents are wearing off

Blocks the UVs, but feels warmish
I like it for the UV protection, but it can be warm feeling during a hot day. I wear it because I don't like sun block and would use this up 80F. Any warmer and I use lotion. Another great use is those cooler morning rides overlapping i

Confortable as it looks
In the Route at day You can forget the mess of Solar Protection in your arms typical burned in cyclists but I really dont know if some UV protection You need either. in night traffic You are more noticeable. White color combines with everything!

Fantastic product!!!
I have worn these on many 5+ hour rides without getting sun burned. Excellent product. The only criticism is that they are very long. I wish there was a women's specific model for shorter arms. I wear the S and there's just loo much fabric. However, it's not a big drawback. They do what they are supposed to do!
