What should I be looking for in a sun sleeve?
When the sun breaks through the sky, it's a great day to play golf. However, the sun can also bring harmful UV rays. You can be on the golf course for several hours per round, so sun sleeves are a great way to stay protected during the hot hours.
Therefore, the best sun sleeves will provide UV protection on the course. Sun protection isn't the only thing they should give you, though. They should also keep you cool, provide plenty of flexibility, and stay in place without slipping on every swing.
Great for outdoor sports
For anyone who plays outdoor sports, runs, tries CrossFit for runners, etc., these may be the best choice for you due to the construction of the sleeves. The stitching of the sleeves takes into account muscle anatomy for a more comfortable, fluid sleeve that won't restrict your range of motion.
Best for UV protection
If you're a cyclist, many of the activities you do outdoors in the field, on the track or even on your bike will be upgraded by this arm sleeve. You can feel more confident knowing that the day after those outdoor training sessions are over, you won't need to reach for the aloe vera to deal with some lobster-colored skin.
We appreciate how easy it is to clean this sleeve when it's made, as you can simply throw it in with the rest of your clothing without having to air dry it. Another noteworthy aspect is the ribbing on the wrist. This is a nice addition to better ensure that there aren't any slips or poly bunches that need to be readjusted. This is a subtle benefit, but will pay dividends.
Best flexibility
If you are a weightlifter who does yoga, Pilates, or even tries animal flow, these sleeves are where you should focus your efforts. They have great non-slip gel points that help keep you balanced during planking and more.
For the fashion lovers out there, these sleeves are designed to be very discreet and not draw too much attention to themselves. It's also great if you're taking a group fitness class or doing a meditation form of training.

Anti-slip
One way in which cooling arm sleeves can become more annoying than beneficial during exercise is if there's nothing to prevent it from gathering or sliding on the arm. Even if it provides the desired cooling effect, the athlete must constantly adjust it may not perform as well as it would otherwise.
The two most popular anti-slip techniques for cooling arm sleeves are a tighter seam that fits snugly against the biceps at the ends of the sleeve or a band that uses silicone in some way (usually points or covers the entire band). Both can work, but will feel different from each other. Silicone holds the strap in place, but has a rubber-like feel that can be uncomfortable when a lot of sweat is involved.
Sizing
In most cases, cooling arm sleeves tend to be smaller. However, some sleeves are designed with elasticity so they can be promoted as one-size-fits-all. If you are an athlete with larger or more muscular arms, then a cooling arm sleeve with a specific size may be a better choice. While one-size-fits-all may work, if the elasticity of these sleeves is pushed to its limits, they may feel tight even when worn properly.
There are available cooling arm sleeves that have the added utility of covering the hand through a hole that your thumb can slide through. These are worth considering if your performance in a sport or activity might be improved by dry hands. For example, in baseball or soccer, it may be beneficial to handle the ball with non-sweaty hands.
Wrapping Up
Cooling arm sleeves wick away sweat, protect the skin from the sun and even provide compression. They are a great addition to the fitness gear of any athlete who spends a lot of time playing outdoors in warm weather.
