Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer Zero™ Arm Sleeve

Used the American Scales when I ran the Orange County Marathon. Performed well, I could feel the cooling effect.

Product is excellent, I ordered these sleeves for TIG welding purposes, for the UV protection and the warmth/cooling effect. The thermal ability of these are great, when a little breeze blows in I feel it immediately and it disperses across the entire sleeve. Very great product, I've already ordered another pair. Thanks

The first time I wore them I spent the day river rafting in the hot sun. They got wet but dried quickly. I stayed cool the whole time and my arms didn't get a hint of sunburn though my neck did! It's like wearing a long sleeved shirt with sunscreen but way more comfortable and definitely cooler. Doesn't add as much weight to the backpack as a shirt either. Fantastic product.

I wear these for running and cycling. I have a couple of the Freezer Zero casual shirts which have been great for the summer. Once I saw Columbia made arm sleeves also I had to get a pair. I just rode a 60 mile race in these sleeves. My arms were comfortable in the heat. I didn't have to worry about burning either. Now I'm looking for a jersey made of the same material.

I doubted the "cooling" function would work, but needed the sun protection factor for my arms. But I must say, it really does work. I have many performance fabric shirts that I wear for golf, coaching, and exercise, so these sleeves were the perfect complement to them. The technology works and my arms were markedly cooler. I will be purchasing a shirt with Omni-Freeze Zero technology for the whole effect.

Did the job, both in blocking the sun and keeping me cool on long training rides on the bike. I have used other brands of arm coolers, but liked the Columbia -- cut is long and covered my arm completely to the wrist, and stays up well without being binding on the upper arm.

I bought the arm sleeves to protect my arms from the sun when driving my car and am very satisfied with them. They take less than a minute to put on (and that includes donning some Outdoor Research gloves with and SPF rating as well). They are stretchy enough to get on without a problem (I am a 5'3" female) and they fit well in circumference for me. They are longer than my arms require, but the excess I just pull up on my wrist area and it is not cumbersome or a bother at all. I like them a lot.

I haven't had a chance to use them, but it's true to size and is in good quality.

I use these for road biking and love them. They work great for keeping both the sun off my skin and for keeping everything cool. Highly recommended!

I bought this after missing a spot on my arms with sunscreen while heading out on a long run. What do you know; I had sunburn when I was done. This does a great job of protecting my arms from the sun and giving me the feeling of being cooler when running. Highly recommend this product for the protection that it provides.

Love them! Works very well with my uniforms and provides excellent cooling

I bought these sleeves to replace the requirement of applying sunblock to my arms when I'm out cycling. Sunblock is greasy, bugs stick to it and needs to be reapplied regularly, which isn't always a desirable option when out on a long ride. These sleeves keep my arms protected for long hours out on the bike. They do seem to provide a cooling effect, but it is difficult to tell since when compared to sunblock, anything is cooler. I have long arms and the sleeves leave some uncovered skin at my wrist and upper biceps, I wish the sleeves were 2-3 inches longer so they could overlap my gloves and still run up under my cycling jersey sleeves. I did 102 miles yesterday and the sleeves stayed put the entire time, for the most part. I did have to pull them down/up a few times after my gloves/jersey had pushed them back after switching hand positions or signaling turns, but that was to be expected. With sunblock, sweat usually runs down my arms and soaks my gloves, these sun sleeves solved that problem. Highly recommended for cyclists. As for fit, not sure how to describe. I have long skinny arms and the S/M fits like a glove, so I guess that is true to size. The sleeves are stretchy, mine measure 17 inches end to end when unstretched. They are plenty long when my arms are at my side, but when stretched out on the bike, they are a bit too short.

I bought and wore these specifically for a relay race I was doing that would take me during legs during the heat. Since I overheat, I needed something. I drenched them in water before I left my exchange, IMMEDIATELY they are freezing cold. They kept me cooler for awhile but my leg was too long, they dried out. Since I don't sweat, they didn't re-activate but I found a stream to jump in and then it was cold again. I love them and will buy more.

Don't like wearing long sleeves? These sleeves are your friend, cool you off, and you'll forget you have them on!

Omni freeze fabric is amazing. If someone would have told me I'd be cooler with fabric on than w/o I would have said they were crazy. I don't know how they did it but this fabric keeps the sun off your skin and feels like the A/C is blowing on you. I bought one pair of sleeves for $32 and wear my regular Tshirts fishing instead of spending $500 on speciality angler shirts. Saved me a ton of money. They make bluffs, hats and gloves out of the same fabric. Sleeves fit snug and don't slide down ur arm. Amazing product.

It seems to cool a little when there is some wind but am not sureabout the cooling effects. However the sleeves are extremely comfortable and feel like you're not wearing anything in the Texas gulf coast heat and humidity. Need to include washing instructions

I just got back from a trip to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon and I took these sleeves with me so I didn't need to worry about constantly applying sunscreen to my arms. I HATE SUNSCREEN. I'm also freaked out by skin cancer so I really enjoyed these. I hardly noticed I had them on my arms, the Omni-Freeze Zero also worked well. It kept my arms cool. I love these things. I'm an avid river rafter and I'm going to take these on all my trips. I recommend this product.

Im headed off to field school this summer, in the dessert. These seemed like a fantastic idea and were cheaper her than many other store. I luckily read the reviews first, so I knew to get the small/medium even though I wear a Large tee shirt. They are slightly tight in the upper arm but fit great everywhere else. Glad I dont have to wear so much sun screen now! The cooling effect is pretty awesome as well. Great product!

I'm a charter captain in Louisiana that is always looking to lower my exposure to the sun. These sleeves are perfect for hot weather. They fit snug so you don't have to worry about them sliding down your arms. I think the biggest advantage is that you can where a short sleeve shirt and if you feel the sun is baking your arms you can slide them on real quick.

I accepted this job out in New Mexico. I knew it would out in the open under the sun. First time I put it on, I instantly felt the cooling sensation. Coworkers kept asking all day, "What is that?" I explained to them what it was, how it worked and of course where to get some. Thank you Columbia for your ingenious products.

These are the 3rd edition of this product I have purchased. This design just keeps getting better. The thumb hole has been dropped from the design & it has the latest skin cooling technology. They are comfortable for all day wear & keeps me fishing day after day in the direct sun without any restrictions to the use of my arms.

Great product good fit good color easy washing fast delivery

Rep said buy your shirt size, so I did, medium. Should have gone with large.
