Customer Reviews Outdoor Research ActiveIce Sun Sleeves

Great protection from the sun. Very lightweight and breathable material for my long runs

I now have 3 pair, wear than all the time for both work and hiking. Good fit for size. Possibly a Velcro strap instead or rubber to hold in place like the Crocs have?

Was looking for a pair of sleeves to use with my cycling jersey as we have been having a cooler/wetter than usual spring here in seattle this year. Now that the weather has been warming(for seattle!) they have become extremely comfortable and protective from harmful sunburn. The added benefit is that i do not have to slather spf on for my rides that last anywhere from 2-4 hours. Plan to grab a set in white along with my grey to use in july for the STP ride. The thumbhole is convenient and hardly noticeable under my cycling gloves and the upper arm grippers keep the sleeves nicely in place. I am in good shape (5'8 1/4" 165# )but chose the smaller size to ensure no slippage during rides.

Great for keeping the sun off when you don't want to wear a full long-sleeved shirt. I'm a petite woman and wasn't sure about the unisex sizing, but the S/M fits well and stays on my arms which have a circumference of around 11". I'll be using them this summer for biking and kayaking.

I bought these in the pale grey color. I prefer not to use sunscreen, and these are cooler than any long-sleeved shirt I have found. I like them very much. I am 5' 7" and my upper arm circumference measures 13.5". The size L/XL which fits me perfectly. I like that I can pull out my thumb and fold them back up my wrists so I can I eat or grab things without having to take them off to keep them clean. I like that they shade the back of my hands as well as my arms. They are easy to hand wash. I would recommend them as long as you do not have very slim arms.

Had to return for a smaller size. Once I got them, they worked perfectly! They actually feel like they are cooling your skin and provide great sun protection. At one point during a run, the weather cooled and they worked good as a layer to keep the chill off. Now if they would make some leggings out of the same fabric for running and cycling! I've tried other sun clothing touted for running but they don't breathe like this fabric does.

They protect my tattoos from the sun while fishing. Great product

The sleeves cover each forearm and the hand minus the fingers. Hey recommended.

Excelent

These are the best I've found. My arms are damaged from years of working outdoors and the Activelce Sun Sleeves keep my arms protected. When the air temp is high the sleeves cool my arms so I can continue to wear the sun protection. Lastly, unlike cheaper sun sleeves these have a small rubber band stitched into at the top that keep the sleeves in place. For anyone who have a latex allergy this might be a concern, unless the rubber used is a no-allergic version. Love them

Good fit, they seem durable, I would buy them again

I was worried about sizing and slipping but these stay put while hiking and sweating, keep you cool, and honestly look pretty stylish. I love using them on hot hikes and saving my skin from the sun and from sunscreen.

another great OR piece for covering up. super comfortable in a range of conditions, not restricting at all, and the upper arm "rubber tacks" stay in place.

Absolutely must have in the sun!! I have worn these for the last year fishing on the front deck of a boat all day in the hot sun without any issues. Stays where they're supposed to, and haven't had any stretching or worn out issues yet. Bought a second and third pair so far!!

Fantastic protection for my arms when in the sun and gardening. I am older and my skin is delicate I wear these frequently

These are the first pair I've ever purchased. Since I got them late in the season, my skin was already tanned before I had a chance to use them. I probably should have gotten them when it was still cold out and I was wearing jackets when I was outside. I have noticed that my skin has had some kind of senstivity reaction to the elastic strip on the inside of the upper part of the sleeve. I fixed this by turning that part of the sleeve to the outside of the sleevw so that it does not t=sit next to my skin. After my tan has had a chance ti fade over the coming cold months, next summer will be the real test. But, most likely, I would buy them again. I just wish they came in more colors.

Super comfortable and cool in the hot sun, band at bicep gets a little irritating after 8+ hours but other than that very good product. I love that I can wear a T-shirt and still have sun protection on my arms.

They definitely make me warmer - don't notice any "ice" effect. But I assume they're protecting my arms from the sun which is the only reason I bought them.

These are awesome. Bought them for work as an outdoor recreation professional. After a month they are holding up well. Wick moisture well.

Easy to put on. Fast delivery. It will cut down on the sun exposure to my left arm while driving.

These are comfy and stay on well. Despite being white they are not really that cooling - the fabric is too tight and thick. Okay for hiking, or biking on a cool sunny day, but not cool enough for biking on a hot day or running.

There's worked great for protecting me in the super hot sun. I love the length - my only complaint is that the S/M was still a bit large at the top and I had to do a bit of sewing to make them fit better and stay up.

They ended up being a bit silly. Just wear sleeves!
