Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer Zero™ Arm Sleeve

Bought these because I'm under the intense Florida Sun for hours a couple of times a week, was developing a horrible "farmer's tan" and didn't want to always wear long sleeves so I gave these a shot. Have to be honest, was a bit hesitant on the omni cooling action, but it actually works. Absolutely love these! I'm looking into getting myself the matching bandana/neck cover next. Thank you, Columbia!

This product has really serviced its purpose. Protects my arms in this Texas heat.

THEY keep me cool in the sun I'll be purchasing more

I work under the sun and these are a life saver. I'm typically a medium in clothes overall and I have strong arms and these fit tight but well enough to stay in place as I work. Much needed protection without having to wear an undershirt. In the Florida heat less is more.

Great alternative to sun tan lotion, actually feels cooler in the hot sun than bare arms. My only complaint is that after a couple of washes, the upper arms start to slip down when active. So I'm always pulling them up to stay protected, some sort of elastic at the top would solve the problem, but overall very pleased with the product, would like to see other colors like, blue, tan and red instead of the funky designs that are offered.

I love these arm sleeves. They keep me very comfortable and cool in the heat. Also, they protect my arms from the getting sunburn. PLEASE OFFER THESE IN BLACK, BEIGE AND GREY. EXTENDED THUMB HOLES WOULD BE GREAT.

Being fair skinned, I was tired of applying sunscreen every few hours, so I decided to try them, WOW where have these been all of my life! I love them, they (to my surprise) kept me cool and best of all, sunburn-free. I'd love to see these in black, and extended with thumb hole.

I bought these sleeves because I wanted sun protection for my arms, and these did the trick. They really are cooling, especially in direct sun. I appreciate that Columbia offered a color option other than shocking white, which is how other brands often sell these. I do wish Columbia also had a flesh tone option. I bought the blue ones and liked them so much that I bought a second set. I would have preferred a different color, so I could keep track of which pair was which pair, but I did not like the camouflage options, so I bought a second blue one.

I am a marine mechanic, outdoors 340+ days a year in the Florida keys sun. I can't stand the "compression fit" shirts many UPF shirts come in. I also can't wear loose fitting long sleeves because of the danger of getting caught in moving equipment. These with a standard short sleeve shirt offer protection from sun, and abrasions. I tried a pair and after 1 day ordered 5 more for myself and 5 for each of my employees.

Great for golf. Kept sun off of arms, and very are cool on arms. Boss

I just received these and wore them for the first time...WOW...I love them! They were very comfortable to wear under a short sleeve performance shirt! I wish they had more colors to choose from...I am still buying another pair!

Sleeves do not run too small, they do expand a little with continuous wear, but not to the point where you have to keep pulling them up. The main issue with the sizing is the size of your upper arm. If you have thicker/bigger upper arms and smaller forearms, get a size up. It is a tube and does not stretch for your upper arm. Great for hikes, motorcycle rides, being outdoors. Downfall is if you're hiking and you keep them on, the cooling agent kicks in and your arms will be cold.

I love the Omni Zero line and I am glad these arm sleeve exist! They provide me the sun coverage when I run (or hike) and provide this magical cool down. The best option for me is the flexibility to wear any of my short sleeve run shirt and combine them with these arm sleeve, if it's too hot and/or sunny.

The material is amazing. It feels cooler as soon as you put them on and wave your arms. It fits me well. I got the L/XL and I am average size, 11 1/2 inch biceps unflexed. Not sue if anyone with a thicker arms would feel comfortable wearing them. The tags are uncomfortable (5 tags, some rough) and you have to make sure they don't chafe against a mole, otherwise all that UV protection is pointless. Would have preferred smaller tags on the outside. The stitching is on the outside and feels smooth on the inside. One of the sleeves has a slight imperfection with the stitching but I would not trade them for any other brand.

I LOVE these things. I have several pair that I wear while golfing, coaching, working in the yard, etc. I live in Southwest FL, so I'm constantly applying sunscreen when outside, and these are so great because they cover my arms AND keep me cooler.

These sleeves used to come in a M/L size which was perfect for me (female - 5"7" 135lb). I've tried a lot of brands of these sleeves for golf and this is the best product out there if they fit. The S/M is way too tight and constricting, and the L/XL is way too big. Please bring back the M/L!

Sleeves function great and keep the arms cool in hot sunny weather.

These sleeves are great for reducing sun and heat exposure. I ordered the Small/Medium and they fit snug, but not too tight. I'm female, 5'4", 140 lbs. You won't regret adding these to your outdoor gear.

Love the arm sleeves!! Always wear long sleeve shirts while fishing, but these are it from now on. Already purchased a second pair and bought a few other for presents. Great Product!

Love all the Omni Freeze clothing. The sleeves fit great, I can play golf all day in 100 degrees, sleeves stay in place and never slide down. With a little breeze they keep the arms cool and comfortable.

I bought these for sun protection during hot rides. These are incredible for keeping the sun off and keeping you cool. Douse them with water before a descent and feel your body temperature drop. I was concerned that they would make me hotter on long climbs but was happy to learn that I was wrong. I would highly recommend these!

First of this year was diagnosed with melanoma cancer. After surgery, five months later was again diagnosed with cancer. I feel that this product is a must to protect my arms from the sun. I wear them everyday when out in the sun be it 20 minutes or all day. They fit just fine on the forearm but keep sliding down from the upper arm. Will keep pulling them up for the protection.

Purchase these to keep the sun from burning my arms while riding my motorcycle. Not only did the product keep my arms from burning in the sun it keeps my arms cool as well. They stay in place even at highway speeds. I have only been wearing them for about a week but they are doing the job.

This product works exceptionally well for me while playing a round of golf. I have purchased a similar product from another source but prefer the compression sleeves better. I am about to buy two addtional pair after I complete this review.

These arm sleeves are great. The fit is good. Make sure you measure your arms before ordering to get the right size. They keep your arms from burning up in the hot summer sun. You can wear a short sleeved shirt to stay a little cooler but still keep your arms protected. If they get wet they dry really quickly. The fabric is light weight so they don't add a lot of heat to your arms. In the spring and fall you can wear them in the morning and evening to protect against chill but take them off during the day as it warms up. A great product.
