FAQs
Are these arm sleeves waterproof?
No, they are designed for thermal warmth and comfort, not for water resistance in heavy rain.
Can I use these for sports other than cycling?
Yes, they are highly suitable for running, gym workouts, and other outdoor athletic activities.
How should I store them when not in use?
They are designed to be folded or rolled and can easily fit into a cycling jersey pocket.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the standard Castelli sizing charts for arm warmers, ensuring you measure your bicep circumference for the most accurate fit.
Do they contain silk?
Some variants in the Espresso line feature specialized materials, though the primary performance construction focuses on synthetic blends for warmth and durability.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves sliding down during activity
Ensure the silicone gripper is in direct contact with skin and that the sleeve is not stretched over an under-layer.
Fabric irritation
Verify the sleeve is worn with the seamless side against the skin and ensure no debris is trapped beneath the cuff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, slide the sleeves on with the silicone gripper positioned at the upper bicep, ensuring the skin is dry to allow the gripper to maintain a firm hold. When not in use, they can be folded flat to fit into standard jersey pockets. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and air dry to maintain the integrity of the silicone grippers and the fabric's thermal properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking and thermal capabilities of the technical material.
