SportsTrail Cooling Arm Sleeves for Men & Women – Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Arm Sleeves for Women, Men & Kids

The sleeves are very comfortable to wear. Fits almost perfect. Waiting to wear it the next time i am out playing cricket.

My life outside has caught up with me (some time ago) and I have to wear these things almost all the time. I use them mostly on the bike and kayaking but yard work and wherever. I have several pairs, different brands. These are quite good. The material is cooling, stretchy and comfortable. I’m fit but not a muscle man and these are just right. If you have big old biceps these may be tight. Would be five stars if they were one inch longer! Now I’m 6’-3” with a wingspan so if you are shorter they may be right on. The good news is the gripper material is the best I’ve found, stays put and comfortable, so I can wear them a bit further down my arm and it still works. But an inch longer would be perfect. They appear likely to last but at the price if I only got a couple seasons out of them I’d still be happy.

I have been playing sports for a long time now, and always try to keep up with the trends. The biggest one in volleyball is wearing arm sleeves, and for good reason. I first discovered them while watching volleyball on TV. Then I started to see colleges around me wear them. So I decided to try them out before the season started. Funny enough now at the end of the season, our whole team wears them everyday. Amazon is my go-to, and the cheap price of only 10 dollars for a pair is a great deal. The quality is perfect for anyone looking to protect themselves from the sun, cover up tattoos or burn marks, or just keep cool on a hot day. They came in the mail on the expected delivery time and were packaged well. When I opened them, they were sealed in a little plastic bag and folded. My first reaction was how soft they were; I wanted to put them on immediately. They were so comfortable that I wore them to volleyball practice that day. My first experience wearing the sleeves was all around positive. While diving on the gym floor, the sleeves were very smooth and prevented me from having any floor burns. During the practice, they stayed cool and breathable the whole two hours. So much so that I forgot I was wearing them at times. I did get one small hole in the elbow on the left arm. To prevent this I try to rotate the pairs so that they stay effective, however I don’t see a way you can patch the holes. I wouldn’t expect them to develop holes if you are doing any of the following activities: hiking, working, biking, spending time outside, or even bowling. In that case, they are actually very resilient. I was so impressed that I recommended these sleeves to my good friend on my team who is a phenomenal volleyball player. She plays the setter position which means she is always diving and sliding on the floor after balls. Every practice she wears them and also comments on how they look cool. Since she is planning on paying college volleyball, she bought her own pair off of amazon as well. After a few months of usage, they are still very promising. I just put them in the washer and dryer to get cleaned and that does not seem to damage them at all. Occasionally I will air dry them as well, but if you would rather use the convenience of the dryer, that is totally safe for this product. The only thing that is affected by the wash is after a few months the “Sports Trail'' logo starts to break and peel apart. I can usually go for about three days of two hour practices before I need to clean and wash the sweat out. After that they are still very soft and don't have odor. Overuse is what makes or breaks these sleeves. They are so cheap that I was impressed with the quality right away. However, when you use them almost everyday for 3 months, they can start to fall apart. Keep in mind that I am playing sports with them on a regular basis, so if your purpose doesn’t include physical activity, then this does not apply to you. Towards the end of my volleyball season, some of the seams on my oldest pair started to come apart. This is probably caused by my having to pull them up after a long play or match. I highly recommend giving this product a try for any purpose needed, especially sports. The occasional wear and tear is expected of any athletic gear, but you will receive great results for the duration of your season.

100% perfect

I bought these to wear with a sling because my arm was getting irritated and itchy. I really wanted them to work, but they were far too tight around the bicep. The compression was so strong that I ended up with a bruise and still have a red mark a week later. I wouldn’t recommend wearing them for more than a few hours unless you have smaller arms. I have average-sized arms for a man — not a bodybuilder — so these seem better suited for slimmer builds. The material quality is good, and the cooling effect is nice. Overall, they feel comfortable aside from the tightness in the bicep area. I just wish a larger size were available.
