FAQs

Are these sleeves waterproof?

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These sleeves are 'light' and lack thermal insulation, so they are not recommended for cold-weather riding.

Do they protect against sunburn?

Yes, the fabric is rated UPF 50+, providing excellent protection against UV rays.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

What is the weight of the pair?

The pair weighs approximately 67g.

Are they unisex?

Yes, these are designed as unisex sleeves for adult riders.

Troubleshooting

Sleeves slipping down while riding

Ensure your skin is free of sunscreen or lotions at the gripper point, and clean the silicone band with a damp cloth to remove oils.

Feeling too warm despite 'light' labeling

Verify the temperature is within the 12°-35°C range; if you are above 35°C, ensure you are maintaining adequate airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Highly breathable moisture-management fabric
  • Extremely lightweight and packable for mountain riding
  • Secure fit with double-sided silicone grippers
  • Seamless construction prevents chafing

Cons

  • No thermal insulation for cold days
  • Not intended for wind or water resistance
  • Requires proper care to maintain silicone grip integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure fit, pull the sleeves up your arms until the top silicone band rests comfortably on your upper arm. The silicone is double-sided, so ensure both inner and outer surfaces are clean for the best grip. For maintenance, machine wash the sleeves in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity and the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric. Air dry the sleeves rather than using a dryer to preserve the integrity of the silicone grippers.
