Sold as a pair. Compressive polyester-spandex performance knit sleeves engineered for crews running long shifts under open sun. Rated UPF 50+ — blocks 98% of UVA/UVB. Moisture-wicking dry, evaporative cooling when dampened: rinse under water, twirl to shed excess, slide on. Flatlock seams lay flat against the skin. Silicone dot gripper on the bicep opening keeps the sleeve from sliding. Anti-odor treatment holds up across consecutive shifts. Machine wash cold, tumble low. Sized M/L (upper arm 11–14”) and XL/2XL (upper arm 14–17”). One small IBS shield silkscreened on the outer bicep. Not a cut-resistant sleeve.
Compressive knit blocks 98% of UVA and UVB — the upper bound of what a fabric rating certifies. Unlike topical sunscreen, the protection doesn’t sweat off, rub off on a clipboard, or need a 2 p.m. reapplication. Put the sleeves on at the start of the shift; take them off at the end of it.
Rinse the sleeves under a water bottle, twirl to shed excess, and slide on — evaporative cooling drops skin temperature for hours. Dry, the same knit wicks sweat off the forearm instead of pooling inside a long-sleeve shirt.
Bonded flatlock seams run lengthwise and lie flat against skin — no raised ridge to chafe under a glove cuff or a tool belt. A band of silicone dots at the bicep hem keeps the sleeve from sliding down when you reach overhead.
Sold as a matched pair — how crews actually buy them, how vending machines actually stock them. These are UV and heat-management sleeves. Not cut-resistant, not arc-rated, not FR. Don’t confuse the categories, and don’t pretend they cross over.
All measurements are body measurements in inches. When between sizes, size up for layering room.
