Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Espresso Cycling Arm Sleeves are an essential accessory for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable, lightweight thermal protection during fluctuating temperatures. These sleeves are designed to provide a cozy, soft layer of warmth that fits seamlessly under a jersey or jacket. While they offer exceptional comfort through their single-piece construction, users should note that they are primarily designed for temperature management rather than heavy-duty waterproof protection.

FAQs
Are these arm sleeves gender-specific?
No, the Castelli Espresso Cycling Arm Sleeves are designed to be unisex and fit both men and women comfortably.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a delicate cycle with cool water, but air drying is highly recommended.
Do these provide sun protection?
While they are designed for thermal warmth, the fabric offers a level of skin coverage that helps protect against direct sun exposure.
Will these fit under a long-sleeve jersey?
Yes, due to the low-profile, seamless construction, they can easily be worn under a jersey or a light jacket without creating bulk.
What should I do if the silicone grip stops holding?
Gently clean the silicone gripper with a damp cloth to remove oils or sweat residue that may be preventing it from adhering to the skin.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves slipping down during use
Ensure your skin is dry when putting them on and check that the silicone gripper is in direct contact with your skin rather than over another layer of fabric.
Fabric bunching at the elbow
Adjust the sleeve position by pulling the fabric tighter from the wrist upward, ensuring the single-piece construction is aligned correctly with your joint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the sleeves up until the silicone gripper sits comfortably on the bicep. They are designed to match the Castelli Espresso clothing line but are compatible with any cycling kit. For care, wash the sleeves in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric and the effectiveness of the silicone grippers. Always air dry the sleeves to maintain the integrity of the material and prevent shrinkage.
