FAQs

What is the recommended temperature range for these sleeves?

They are designed to perform optimally in temperatures ranging from 12 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Can I use these for other sports besides cycling?

While optimized for cycling, their lightweight and breathable design makes them excellent for any outdoor activity requiring sun protection.

Are these sleeves waterproof?

No, they are made from high-performance moisture-wicking polyester intended for breathability and sun protection, not rain protection.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The sleeves should fit snugly without restricting circulation. The silicone grippers should sit directly on your skin for the best hold.

Will the sun protection wash out over time?

By following the care instructions—using gentle detergents and air drying—the material maintains its protective qualities for a long duration.

Are they machine washable?

It is highly recommended to hand wash these items to preserve the elasticity and integrity of the silicone grippers.

Troubleshooting

Sleeves slipping down during use

Ensure the skin is clean and free of oils or sunscreen where the silicone gripper makes contact, as these can interfere with the grip.

Fabric feels tight or restrictive

Check that the sleeve is not twisted on the arm and verify you are using the correct size, as the fabric is designed for a compression fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior UV ray blockage
  • Breathable moisture-management fabric
  • Stay-put silicone grip
  • Excellent for both hot and mild weather
  • Minimalist, chafe-free design

Cons

  • Not intended for freezing temperatures
  • Hand wash recommended for longevity
  • Requires proper sizing for a secure fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, pull the sleeves up your arms so the silicone elastic sits comfortably against the skin at the bicep. The sleeves are designed to be unisex and fit snugly to prevent sagging. For care, it is best to rinse them in cold water after a ride to remove sweat and salt buildup. When washing, use a gentle detergent and air dry to maintain the integrity of the elastic grip and the UV-blocking properties of the polyester fabric.
