Artefit Forearm Sleeves – Compressions Short Arm Sleeves – UV Protection

Great for UV protection, swimming, but seams not that sturdy
Got these as I need to protect a sizeable surgical scar from sunlight for at least a year. I wear one regularly and another I use solely when swimming.They are great for UV protection and the slight compression is also helping with the occasional pain I get as the nerves repair. The one I use regularly is holding up ok but does have a slight hole forming on the central seam from repeated pulling on/off. The second, that I use when swimming (about 3-4 times a week) doesn’t have the same issue but the end seams aren’t stitched closed, they appear to be glued. After just a few sessions this has come away, leaving a raw edge. It isn’t a big deal at all, there’s no fraying, but it does give the sleeve an odd ‘lip’ as where the fabric was previously folded down it doesn’t quite fit close to the skin. This can cause a bit of drag and pull the sleeve down when being particularly active. However, hat sort of thing was bound to happen.In general these would be great for triathlons where you might want sun protection that can be submerged and won’t get shrinkage but they certainly won’t last long with repeated exposure. As it is I’ve had about 2 months of regular use our of them so far. I expect another 6 will be as much as they can take.

Large is the same size as medium
Got relatively thin forearms so bought the medium, liked the product so re ordered in a size large, they are basically the same size, no discernable difference, £30 down an nothing to show for it 🙄

Label needs to be tearaway safe
One of the bands has a very large and hard to remove label which is frustrating given it’s a product designed to be compressed against skin, wouldn’t recommend.

Don’t buy this product
It is so flimsy and lacking in quality. Probably better buying a set of tights and cutting them. A waste of money

My hands get really cold rucking in the winter weather, even with gloves. Putting on the forearm sleeve is quick and then the gloves go one. I think much heat is lost in the wrist area so unless you have gloves with long wrist extensions you can still get cold hands. The forearm sleeves solve the problem. They are comfortable and easily washed.
