Type: With Thumbholes

These arm sleeves are ideal when wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt or polo, protecting your arms and hands from UV rays. Designed for individuals with sensitive skin, and sold as a pair, they come in two styles: with or without thumbholes. A thumbhole is a sleeve opening for the thumbs.

Available in two styles:

With thumbholes: designed with a thumbhole, this style allows slipping your thumb through the sleeve, offering added protection for the back of your hand and palm while covering your arm fully from the bicep to the knuckles. It can also be worn comfortably without using the thumbhole feature.

No thumbholes: there is no opening on the side of the sleeve for the thumb. This style covers the full length of your arm from your bicep to your wrist.

Reviews

My sleeves are wonderful. Not

"My sleeves are wonderful. Not only do they work so well, they are light weight. You can pack them very easily when traveling. Very affordable. You can easily buy a couple of pairs. And lots of colors to choose from. I highly recommend buying them."

Linda M. (5/5)

Not nearly as weird as they sounded!

"So much easier than having to keep reapplying sunscreen after every hand wash and no horrid sticky feeling of sunscreen on the arms (or the sunscreen stains on the edges of the tee-shirt sleeves). Comfortable, great for driving , hiking and cycling."

Jane T. (5/5)

Great Coverage for active lifestyle

"Great for quick coverage in the water surfing or on the field playing sports. Comfort forst fit, they dont slip down during use. I surf with these and they stay in place and clean up well. Quality material that lasts, still feels the same after a summer of use."

cheynne m. (5/5)

Surprisingly cool

"Given the thickness of the material I thought it was going to be hotter that my previous Lycra sleeves but I was wrong! The natural materials breathe much better."

James B. (5/5)

I’m been using this product

"I’m been using this product for the last 10 years now specially during summer and even winter time fits perfect and very durable ."

Jose A. (5/5)

Great product

"I was worried they would be too small and hot. They fit fine and I actually felt cooler with them on. They did not restrict my golf swing at all."

Ernie C. (5/5)

The do the job and don't feel plasticy

"As a very fair melanoma survivor I always wear long sleeves plus a hat, gloves and sunsceen. Living in Florida the sun is a real problem, so I dont get to wear t-shirts unless I am not leaving my house. These arm sleeves are so comfortable and easy to put on an take off that it make a t-shirt feasible. I like how they feel more like a cotton than a technical fabric. Now I can wear a t-shirt to work take the sleeves off while I am int he office and easily put them on when I go outside."

Ashleigh B. (5/5)

Cooling & stylish

"I purchased these as I like to wear short sleeve tops, but don’t like to apply sun block every day. Putting these on there is an immediate cooling sensation which lasts for about an hour. They do not heat up in the sun and only once have they gotten a little sweaty, the sweat dried very quickly tho. I love that they are a natural material, they are snug but you don’t notice them, wearing them a whole day I had to adjust them twice maybe? Which took about two seconds. I would buy them again."

aaron h. (5/5)

solid protection

"I purchased these arm sleeves as I spend a lot of time outside and sometimes a long sleeve shirt is just too much. These are soft and do not make me itch or sweat like some other brands that are made of nylon or polyester. My only suggestion would be for the sleeves to come in extra long so that there is not a gap between the top of the sleeve and some of my short sleeve wool shirts. If you are contemplating buying these or another brand, get these!!"

Bob's Solbari experience

"Since I play a lot of golf in the hot sun in Atlanta, GA, I was looking for a good set of sleeves providing at least UPF 50+ protection. I discovered the Solbari website, read and reviewed their products and decided to give them a try. Their sizing and ordering process was easy and straightforward, confirmation was provided after order. Tracking and delivery was timely and the products are delivering the results Solbari advertised and we wanted. I will be a repeat customer! If you are looking for sun protection products, give them a try, you will not be disappointed ! !"
