KEMFORD Arm Sleeves for Men and Women – 8 mmHg Light Compression – 1 Pair – Sun Protection – Cooling UPF 50 Compression – Basketball Running

It was nice doing yard work, and not burning up in the hot Florida sun. They did snag though, which was expected after reading other reviews. But, as I'll only be wearing these while doing yard work, I'm okay with that. I'm very fair skinned, and felt quite comfortable in them. I came out with arms that weren't burnt, and dirty. The coolness factor was a nice touch as the mid day sun in Florida can be quite brutal. I may just order another pair for other outdoor activities.

sorry for the length and any typos you might have to fill in the blanks as I use voice dictation for this review and I'm not correcting all the mistakes as I'm too lazy.Honest none of these so-called some protection items such as arm sleeve head wrap palakava etc will protect you from the Sun by themselves in a single layer form. Here's a simple test to test how much so-called protection you may or may not get from an item -Try to loosely hold it up single layer as in looking from the inside to the outside and see how much daylight or artificial lighting comes through. I've yet to find a product where some light doesn't come through. I'm referring to synthetic fabrics here not thick cotton which of course does block at the expensive incredible heat trapping being a dead weight when wet if exercising etc. I do have a pair of synthetic wranglers but they're so thick and heavy duty that they are not breathable at all and are very hot. They do block out 100% light.These arm sleeves are stretchy in nature and if you were to look you would clearly see light pouring through. Maybe it blocks 10 to 25% of the light. So do not put them on and thank you again protection from the Sun and that pretty much goes for any of these arm sleeves. Maybe there's an expensive brand that has a much tighter weave but from my experience even name brand sun protection items can be just as bad as generic. My solution?I double up or triple up my upper bodyThese honestly go underneath at the very least one long sleeve Sun shirt. That's for the late afternoon if in the middle of the day, I wear two wet polyester sport long sleeve shirts on top of the arm sleeve. As the shirts evaporate they help keep me cool this has worked when the outside temperature feels like 90s with the Sun.Back to these arm sleevesThe negativesPurchase two pairs of these over the last several months as I commute by bike to work everyday in a hot Hawaiian climate. The first pair I was still use had I not flushed one down the toilet after washing it by hand in a bucket LOL. The second pair has a 50% failure rate. As in one of the sleeves started unraveling the moment I started using it and still is every time I put it on. It's literally unraveling until I pull off a thread but then it will unravel some more. The other sleeve does fine as does the one sleeve that I originally bought first.I bought the specifically for the thumb hole as that's the only way these things will stay up on top of my hand. I have another pair without thumb holes and they're useless.Inclusion out of two pairs, one out of the four total sleeves started unraveling from the moment of purchase. The other two sleeves have not shown any signs of unraveling. And the fourth item got flushed in the toilet by accident. I guess that should be a positive in that it did not clog up my toilet or sewer system as that was a couple months ago and no plumbing issues LOL.

These are very nice Arm Sleeves great quality, comfortable an stretch to fix perfectly keeping your arms cool and protected from the sun.

I bought these just to cover a couple tattoos on my forearm they work perfectly for me. I ordered large and medium because I wasn’t sure which ones I’d like more I like the large versus the medium they don’t feel as tight but even the medium isn’t overly tight on me. I’ve enjoyed purchase so far and look forward to getting more down the road. also as a sidenote, the sheerness is very nice. It blends in with my uniform at work quite well. I can’t wait to see how the performances during the summer if I should have to wear it. Also, the stretch is not bad either stretching quite well to go where I need it to.

I would've rated it higher if they didn't rip so easily.

I have large upper arms. I find these rather tight and can be difficult to pull up. I am allergic to the sun, so I always need to have my arms and hands covered. These do cover me, but they can be restrictive if you have large arms.

Fits as expected and holds up well. Strongly recommend.

SPF is real and so is skin cancer. I don't mess around after having a couple of slices removed from my forearms...not cancerous, thankfully....but still. These sleeves are the real deal for outdoor activities; golf, bicycling or anything where you'll be outside in the sun for extended periods. When I first wore them I couldn't believe my arms were cooler with them on than off, but it's true.Having relocated to the Phoenix area, I've been sun sensitive as it can be merciless here. Picked up these SPF sleeves to replace older pairs that tended to slip down to the elbow, not great. These were half the price as the older ones and so far have shown great elastic without movement. I also picked up some SPF tights which I haven't tried yet, but imagine they will also help while I play golf or ride the bike. One sleeve did snag on something and pulled a bit of material but didn't run! Might buy more. Protect your skin from the sun.

The product is good and fulfills the purpose..the elastic at the wrist can be better however as it feels a bit loose. Otherwise a good product 👍

I purchased it for my husband. And he is in love with it. Perfect fit as expected

The length and quality are perfect.

Good

Very nice and helpful
