FAQs

Can I use these for swimming in a triathlon?

While the material is durable, they are primarily designed for cycling; however, they can be worn during the bike and run segments.

Are these sleeves waterproof?

No, they are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not for rain protection.

Will these keep me warm in spring weather?

No, these are strictly for sun protection and cooling; they provide no thermal insulation.

How do I determine the right size?

Consult the Assos sizing chart and measure the circumference of your upper arm to ensure the second-skin fit is correct.

Does the UPF protection wash out?

The UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric construction, meaning it provides permanent protection that does not wash out.

Troubleshooting

Sleeves slipping down during a ride

Ensure the upper elastic gripper is in direct contact with your skin or the inner sleeve of your jersey and check for any fabric bunching.

Fabric snagging on gear or surfaces

The polyester material is lightweight; handle with care and avoid contact with rough textures like hook-and-loop fasteners or debris.

Feeling too tight around the bicep

Ensure the sleeves are pulled up evenly along the arm to distribute the tension; if the fit remains uncomfortable, verify you have the correct size based on arm circumference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Assos arm protectors, follow these care guidelines:

Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent.
Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the elastic fibers.
Storage: Fold neatly after use to prevent excessive wrinkling or fabric stretching.
Compatibility: These are designed to be worn under or over standard short-sleeve cycling jerseys. Ensure the grippers are positioned directly against the skin or jersey sleeve to prevent slipping during the ride.
