Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Activeice Printed Sun Sleeves

Biking, hiking, you name it, I wear these for everything. LOVE the colours and the fit is perfect. I have short arms and was worried about them being too much. Nope, perfect. They keep me warm, cool and help fight offf melanoma for another day!

I love that these go down all the way over my hands to protect from the sun. The small/medium is a bit looser than other sun sleeves I've had but they don't seem to slide down like I expected. Super cute print. I soak them in water before wearing and they keep my arms really cool.

The sleeves are great for biking or in the car when you want to put your arm out and you are on the sunny side. The S/M size was baggy since I have skinny arms. I sewed darts in the top of the sleeves. Now they fit well. They fold up to nothing and are very light so you can carry them with you and be ready when you hit the sun.

On long, exposed trail runs, these are a life saver. They feel cooler than wearing a long-sleeved sun shirt and I prefer them over sunscreen any day. I have long, skinny arms, and at first I feared they wouldn't stay up on my upper arms because the fit isn't super snug (I got the S/MI usually wear women's small in OR). But the grippy band around the top provides enough tension to keep them up without needing to be too tight. The printed ones are fun. I'll be getting some plain ones, too.

Am allergic to many items in my garden-the soil, the mulch I use, etc. When I wear the sun sleeves I no longer develop a rash similar to a poison ivy rash. Not too hot even in this particularly hot summer. Very nice pattern. Would consider buying another pattern to have some varietgy

Very light weight, will use them mostly for biking and hiking in warm-hot weather (no insulation value). I usually wear women's small gloves, and the S/M fit well but are a bit loose in the upper bicep area even though I am muscular. Print is awesome, I got the black and white ones.

This product is amazing! Ive been using the ActiveIce sun sleeves for years and swear by them. They really do feel cooling to wear and no more gnarly tan lines. I only wish there were a few more colour options in the activeIce line but to be honest, I dont really care what the product looks like, as long as it performs, and the ubertube and sun sleeves work like a charm

The print is so fun and they are super comfortable. I look forward to wearing these on my bike.

Love these for long days on the boat or the dock at work--don't have to use sunscreen at all anymore, which is a huge benefit when trying to protect coral reefs I'm studying.

I tried these sleeves on a whim, and now I cannot imagine how I got by without them! I use them for hiking, scrambling and climbing trips: I love wearing tank tops, but sunscreen makes me sweat and I never seem to apply enough of it everywhere. The sleeves are comfortable and they stay up; I love the option to cover my hands when using an ice ax, or quickly take my hands out of the fingerless glove part. They also stay remarkably cool (the active ice, I guess!). They are probably my new favorite piece of gear!

Terrific for driving or hiking when sun protection on the arms is necessary

I like the pattern. I have long arms and love the length. My bicep where I would wear the top is 11-12" The circumference is a little large for me.. Most items arrive totally perfumigated from whatever fragranced products the shop uses, and it takes several washes and air drying to get the stink out. These were absolutey fragrance free!! Yay!
