Review on Stay Cool And Protected In The Sun With Achiou Arm Sleeves: Compression, UV Protection, And Perfect For Summer Activities! by Tony Nicholas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for quality sleeves.

I'm fairly impressed with these sleeves so far. I thought I'd be returning them as soon as they came out of the package; they were much shorter than I expected. But to my surprise when I pulled one on, it actually went all the way up to my armpit with my thumb in the hole. Now, to help you understand just what a feat that is, I'm 6'7" and 220 lbs, with arm length to match.They do feel a tad tight, but not uncomfortably so. Almost like a nice compression. I'm curious to see how they feel after a few hours of wearing them.My last 2 pairs that these are replacing lasted me astonishingly over 4 years of heavy, near daily use. But they were $10 a pair. At $3 a pair for these, I'd be ok if they lasted a year, simply because they feel so much better than the old ones, which were much thinner and had no thumb holes (until I cut them in, and they ran all the way up the sleeve). I'll report back on the longevity of these once I get some miles on them.

Pros
  • I only tried two different brand, this one is better
Cons
  • Compression may not be suitable for those with circulation issues
