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

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.
