Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer Zero™ Arm Sleeve

I just loved the design and the fabric againts my skin. Can't wait to wear it during summer!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, my order was cancelled by the system after I already put in the order. Probably due to out of stock.

I was surprised that the S/M I purchased was so small. They were so tight that I found it uncomfortable to bend my elbows. They had to go back. I wear a size 6 dress.

Amazing sun protection for your arms

I couldn't believe the chilling effect these had on the parts of my arms they covered in the open cloudless sun filled sky with no wind. As soon as a little sweat hit the omni freeze pattern on the inside of these sleeves, there was unbelievable instant cooling happening. It was almost as if I had an air conditioner just over the part covered by these. I would buy an entire body suit with this inside for summer wear. They do have a drawback as they run a bit small. I could not dock a star based on how effective they were for me though. I think Columbia should consider breaking the sizes down and making a small, medium, large, x large and maybe xx large for people with really big arms. If I was the size I was when I lifted everyday, these L/XL wouldn't have gone over my forearms much less onto my bicep/tricep any whatsoever. Making each size individually would allow a greater range of size and also a much larger size for those who need it. If you can fit, you wouldn't regret purchasing these as I've not ever worn anything that has this kind of cooling with no wind blowing at all. When the wind did blow a little, the cooling effect went to chilling as it greatly enhanced the already very pleasant feeling.

These are my first experience with arm sleeves and they are totally positive. I use them for mountain and road bicycling. They are effective at keeping the UV off my arms, add a small amount of warmth on early morning rides in southern Oregon, wick away sweat and also provide some evaporative cooling. It does not seem to matter how active I am they remain in place. I recommend washing them in cool or cold water and line dry.

These sleeves are great covers your entire arm, keeps you protected from the sun. They stay feeling cool and are snug. The one complaint I have is they run small. I have average sized arms and the small to medium was impossible to get on. The large/xl size fits well but I think a big guy would have real problem with getting them on and off.

I used my new white Freezer Zero arm sleeves for a kayak trip a couple of days ago. I also used my new Freezer Zero T-shirt. No sun tan lotion was needed, the sleeves and T-shirt kept me cool and protected. It's a good investment for outdoor activities. I also use sleeves for indoors such as restaurants and home when temperature feels a little low. It's much smaller than a sweater and very easy to carry in a purse. Highly recommend it.

I was skeptical of the cooling element to the sleeves and purchased them mainly for the sun blocking function. The sunblock function worked extremely well over two days of outdoor volleyball in the sun... and impressively the temperature difference is noticeable. Don't expect it to be ice packs, but it was a refreshing difference from even my other colored articles of clothing.

I used these last week on the lake; fishing in the bond seemed to help keep my at for several hrs and they prevented sun burned arms. they were more comfortable than I expected arms cooler.

This the second brand of arm sleeves I have tried. I previously had some from Nike. My main use for these is sun protection while golfing. Although I thought the Nike ones were good, I found them to be on the warm side and fairly tight fitting. I find the Columbia ones to be more comfortable. They fit a bit looser (but stay in place) and the cooling effect is much better. For me, the length is a bit long, but it does not get in the way. I can't comment on how these might work in colder weather where I want the sun protection, but not the cooling effect.

I'm not a big guy. Bought the l/xl, seem a bit short but loose at the bicep.

This were a great addition to my recent fishing trip to Canada. The were helpful in adding warmth to my arms in the cool mornings and extremely helpful as an added barrier for mosquitoes in the evening.

As an avid road and adventure bike rider, this product is the ultimate in sun, wind and layering protection! Easy on and off! Highly recommend and now have riding partners using them as well.

These are great! Sure beat sunblock if you work in the sun all day. They do stretch over time so may try a medium next time.

I bought this for hanging my arm out the window and for golf. Wicks sweat and does have a cooling effect. Like that you can also wet them for more cooling. I have a 14.5" bicep relaxed and the l/xl fits well.

Purchased 3 of the sleeves and 5 spf long sleeves ts upon Doctor recommendation. Just had 2 skin cancer removed and the Columbia sleeves and shirts offer me the Protection from the sun. Fit is True to size and do a Great job on keeping Cool. I would Throughly recommend Columbia Sun Proction Shirts. Thanks Columbia

i use these sleeves in combination with any of my short sleeves shirt fishing in sometimes 103 degree weather. they are wonderful and keep me cool as i look for my next PB.

Works as advertised! As you sweat and a light breeze hits, a cool sensation is activated. Very comfortable.

Working in the summer sun in Florida these Sleeves will keep you from getting sunburned and they're great for Wicking away sweat & keep your arm's cool all day with even the smallest of breezes. Great product and you will hardly even notice you have them on.

This is a great product, the sun doesn't feel like is burning the skin. Over the time it gets a little loose and slides down the hen arm. Very useful for outdoor activities, I also use them for driving. I recommend this product

Great product. Actually cools you down while you wear them.

Comfortable and worth buying.

These arm sleeves look and feel great. They run small so I would get the large / x large for adults in general. Thanks Columbia !

Beats wearing sunscreen on the arms. In terms of fit, the L/XL fits about right around the arms, and loose around the wrists, which I don't mind, since I can easily pull back the fabric to read my watch (vs. taking off the watch, and re-wrapping it around the sleeve). The loose wrists will also smooth out the tan line around the wrists. For reference, I'm 6'1", 150#
