Elixir Arm Cooler Cooling Sleeves UV Protective Compression Arm Sleeves, 1 Pair

I purchased these in Black and White to cover up tattoos. Very breathable sleeves for a great price in comparison to UA. My company gives us Nike Golf shirts to wear to work, and these cover up just about 60% up past the top of my bicep from my wrist. I was a little hesitant because a review claimed that if you have big arms these are tight. I do not think my arms are that big but I have been told they are [I have since measured and they are 20" around the largest part of my bicep, for whatever its worth]. I work out regularly and have a pretty low body fat %- with that said, I am unsure how these would fit if my arms were comprised more of fat, but I feel confident that if your arms are 20" or less around the bicep, you will be fine. Obviously, because these rely on elasticity to stay up, you may have to pull them up now and again. During a 12 hour work day, I would say I pull them up 3 or 4 times a day so it is a non-issue for me. I have been wearing for 3 months, 5 days a week- No loss in elasticity PS- There IS a top and a bottom, but you may have to look carefully for it.

The build quality of the sleeve is excellent. Looks nice and the fabric is really strong although very thin. I about 6ft tall with average sized arms and the sleeves fit perfect! It'll be a bit too tight for people with larger arms. For less than 10 bucks, no other sleeve can beat these. I use them for mountain biking to protect my arms from sunburn, but I can't say how effective they are because I've been using them since just 2 weeks. But they look and feel really nice and prevent bug-bites, and other itchy stuff in the woods. They are so slick that tree branches, bushes, and even minor thorny plants just slide off: no more bruises and cuts! One of the sleeves was damaged as it arrived and the seller sent me a new pair for free. I love these sleeves. Good buy.

I just got these and so far they are really nice. They really do have a nice cooling effect, which is great since I live in Phoenix and the heat is really intense. I primarily got these to cover some scars on my arm while at work, but my biggest concern is that I work with dogs, and I am a bit worried about their nails shredding the material. It is pretty thin, like stockings, mildly thicker than panyhose. It came with a few snags already in it, so I am concerned about it's durability. And the stretch could be better. It feels pretty tight at first, but it does feel better the longer you wear it. However it is pretty easy to see skin underneath it. It covers my scars, but it may not work for most tattoos. For the function it was created for I think this would be perfect for most people, but if wearing to work or to cover tattoos don't set your expectations too high, but for under $10 it's really not that bad. Overall feelings: Cooling affect: GREAT! Use at work: Pretty good, just don't snag it on anything Skin/tattoo coverage: for little things, very effective, for large tattoos, expect some see through (especially near the wrist). Weight: Very lightweight Fit: Could use more stretch at the top. Rolling down: No problems yet Durability: Not sure yet

Yeah I'll give these guys 5 stars!!! They said they upgraded my order from the C3D-B style, to the "2014 new upgraded model" E3D-B. Cool. But, if you got guns 20" or over it's pretty tight. 24"-26" guns... your arms would probably go numb until these are very broken in! At first I thought I was doomed, but my arms are not 24" or upwards so I got comfortable wearing it after a few minutes. The material is very thin so try not to snag it on anything sharp or go wrestling with your dogs, or a velociraptor; it will tear or create a run in it like a woman's pantyhose. However, I did notice a nice cooling sensation across my entire arm. That is going to be a plus while working in the hot muggy summers of upstate NY. The material just feels GREAT!! Put these on and just start waving your arm around, yeah you'll look funny for a bit, but you'll see what I mean. It also has excellent elasticity which aides in the compression factor BECAUSE of the tightness; so it works for me. It should stretch out a bit more though I would imagine over time and abuse. So I'd say these are a definite upgrade over the more pricey Under Armor ones I've had to use. I mean for the price and material quality, you just can't beat these. Remember though, if you have biceps more than 24"-26" I don't think you would like your arms to go completely numb and would try to look for a similar product that produces different sizes, rather than "one size fits all". I'll see how they hold up in my line of work though. ;-) I hope this review helps you all.

I had been looking for a plain black pair of arm sleeves to buy for work and these were the only ones I had seen that actually came in a pair! Most of the ones I had been searching for had been anywhere from $10 to $20 for a single sleeve, and I didn't want to pay that much for two, especially because they had large logos on them. This pair is pretty good for the price, but after only having them for a little over a week, parts of the elastic are starting to come apart. After being fairly active while wearing these, I noticed they began to start slipping down my bicep more often and require frequent readjustment. I do have a thinner frame so these fit around my arms just about right, but I also have rather long arms, so they don't really cover all that I need them to. They either come up way above my wrist or will expose too much of my bicep (while wearing a t-shirt) and give me the appearance of a cheese anime character.

I primarily bought these just for my tattoos. Having a full sleeve of tattoos I have to keep them covered up at work and they are great, it looks like your wearing a regular t-shirt if wearing a uniform. They are great for new tattoos that have to covered in ointment to heal, the material is snug against your skin and keeps the ointment in place in stead of all over everything. They do keep your arms cool in a way. The air settles on the material and it gives off a cooling effect. The only draw back that I have is that I had to stretch out the top part of the sleeve that is on the bicep. It was a little snug and started to dig in after a while. I would recommend washing these when you get them out of the package also. I have bought five in the past few months and one of them was rather stiff feeling with a weird smell to it.

I bought these with a fair amount of skepticism given the reviews and the price. I have been more than happy with them. The perform exactly as advertised. Some things to consider: - I am NOT a large armed guy... I am a bicyclist. So these fit fine for me but would be too small for a person with large arms. - I never put these in the dryer. They dry quickly, so no need to put them in the dryer really. And wearing them wet makes them cool even more. - I have ridden thousands of miles in these and they have been washed scores of times and they are still in great shape. They ARE discolored due to the road grime, so if you are worried about these always looking pristine clean I suspect you will be disappointed. I am more concerned with function than appearance. I am buying another pair because I live in AZ and I need to make sure I always have a pair.

I bought these to protect my tattoos and arms against turf burn for my women's football team. Playing D, I wasn't grabbed, much. They did the job, and well!! Granted it's football in the end of May, these kept my arms cool are for the most part covered. I had to keep adjusting them by my shoulder because they kept curling down. They material began to fray and get fuzzy about halfway through the game due to the other team grabbing me with their laminated lineman gloves. However, they are duarable enough to play another game and didn't show any signs of tearing. Even if they did, hands down, I would order them again. Solely because they price is totally a steal for the quality.

Cumple con las especificaciones del producto, recomendado! Me llego en tiempo y de verdad se siente húmedo en los brazos !

Le hubiera puesto las 5 estrellas. Pero la talla que solicite no llego y me llego en UNITALLA. Quedo demasiado grande asi que no fue funcional.
