FAQs
Can these be worn for activities other than cycling?
Yes, they are suitable for running, gym workouts, or any outdoor activity where you need extra arm warmth.
Are these sleeves waterproof?
No, they are designed for warmth and comfort, not as a waterproof barrier for heavy rain.
How do I choose the right size?
These specific models use UK women's dress sizing (e.g., 14 or 16). Refer to your current clothing fit to determine the best match.
Will the seams cause chafing?
The sleeves feature a single-piece construction designed to minimize seams and reduce the risk of chafing.
How should I clean the silicone grippers?
Simply wipe them with a damp cloth if they accumulate dust or lint to maintain their grip.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves sliding down during use
Ensure the silicone gripper is in direct contact with your skin rather than over another fabric layer. If the gripper becomes dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to restore stickiness.
Fabric feeling tight or constrictive
Verify that you have selected the correct size based on your arm circumference. If the sleeves feel too tight, ensure they are pulled up evenly without bunching around the joint.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Espresso arm sleeves, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you measure based on the provided sizing (UK 14/16 equivalents) to ensure the silicone gripper rests comfortably on the upper arm.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone gripper's effectiveness over time.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as the heat may damage the elasticity of the fabric.
- Storage: Fold them neatly or roll them up when packing into jersey pockets to avoid stretching the material unnecessarily.
