The Elixir Arm Sleeves UV Sun Protective Arm Compression Cover Warmer Cooler

By far one of the best arm sleeves I have owned. I buy them to cover tattoos at work and unlike most sleeves I have tried previously, these fit my entire arm perfect. They are pleasantly breathable and even the tan version do not show my tattoo work through the material. The tan is nearly skin color so I wear the tan most often and it doesn't look silly when playing the tattoo cover up game for my job. I also would like to rate them highly on durability. I do a lot of firearms training and shoot a lot of rifle from the ground. I have yet to rip or destroy a brand new sleeve easily. The ones I end up destroying are ones I have worn for a few months and retire them out of good use. The tan ones, over time do start to become dingy from dirt and grime of firearms (in my case) but for under 10$/pack its nothing to have a resupply ordered to the house again.

I bought these for my mom that loves gardening. We live in an area that is very sunny & HOT during the summer. Mom is allergic to the sun, breaking out in painful blisters when exposed for more than a few minutes. So, most hot summer days she'll be gardening in long sleeve shirts, long pants, and a wide-brimmed hat while dripping in sweat. Another problem was the sun on her arms while driving.I found these and thought I'd let her give them a try. She hadn't seen anything like them before and was willing to try them, but was doubtful that they'd provide the protection she would need. (She has worn lightweight shirts before that didn't keep her from having a bad sun reaction.) Well, I'm thrilled to say that she has had nothing but success with them! I've since bought her several pairs and she keeps them in her car, with her gardening supplies, and a few pairs in different colors in her dresser.Mom loves them and has commented several times that she is so grateful that I introduced them to her.

I have used this for 1 hot day and 2 stormy and cold rides. They do keep your arms colder and also protect you from sun burns (Puerto Rico all year long summer) and they do protect on rides at 70 - 75 degrees with the wind factor, could be lower but, again, Puerto Rico is not as cold as state side. The fabric is true black and when on the arm does not show skin in the light, but its very thin and does not have the plastic strip that could hold your Sleeves but only when on rainy days is proved to be necessary, also, in the picture there is a small logo on the wrist part, that must be a water mark because mine does not came with that. This sleeves are light as air and you can use it on wet/cold/hot rides, you won't notice you're wearing. Also, they don't look cheap.... I will gladly buy a pair down the road. I am a medium large (5'11" 230lbs) rider with a bit above average wide arms and it does fit very well.***No five stars do to the thinner material compared to other brands at the same price level, no plastic band to hold the upper sleeve part, on adverse weather this proved to be a must, the logo in the picture is not really in the sleeves and have to burn some lose threats that were dangling from the seams.

I purchased these compression sleeves for my husband. The blood pressure medicine he is on makes his skin very thin and easily damaged with the onset of UV rays. First of all he loved them. He is a bigger guy and they fit easily on him without rolling down. He said they were cool even when he was working out in 95 degree heat. And they seemed to ward any sun damage and even protected his thin skin from cuts and scrapes. However, after only wearing them twice he snagged one and it now has a hole in it. I would say they are ideal for someone not doing a lot of physical work but I think I'm going to have to find a little thicker version for my husbands line of play and work.

These sleeves are top quality for the price point. They are extremely breathable and comfortable to wear once they are broken in. The durability is also superb, they will hold up to much abuse. I've been using these at work to protect my arm from sun exposure and scratches for my new full sleeve tattoo, and I will continue to use them to protect my tattoos from sun exposure. I would highly recommend these over any other products for protecting your arm, whether it be for tattoos or just to protect against sun burn, bug bites, etc. The only con I can come up with, is that one of the sleeves threading on the wrist portion pulled out comepletely. This is not something that I even have a complaint about though, because it hasnt affected the fit or functionality of the sleeve whatsoever, and im sure this is an uncommon issue.Overall; great sleeves with excellent color selection, great price point, awesome durability, and superb comfort and breathability. I will continue to buy this product, and would recommend it to anybody!

... they fit snug on ME. I do NOT have BIG powerful arms. IF I did, they MIGHT fit. If you're say a gymnast type or track and field, soccer player body type these should fit you just fine. They provide 'SOME" degree of compression depending on your personal needs. They got me over the top as the tendons on the inside of my elbows (golfer's elbow I've heard and seen it referred to in other reviews here) are problematic so I was having difficulty with lifting things. With these sleeves I have improved performance and ability in the use of my arms in general. These have given me a start. I found that they DO work to enough of an extent that I am now seeking apparel that provides greater compression concentrated in that area of concern for me. If you want a garment that looks good, feels good on your skin with a need for compression gear that provides a minimal amount of compression you can't go wrong with these.
