The Terrabound UPF 50+ Sun Sleeves are a pair of lightweight arm sleeves for the hours when the sun is at its worst. Rated UPF 50+, the knit blocks over 98% of UV rays across every part of your arms it covers, so the skin most likely to burn stays covered with nothing to reapply.
They are knitted from a four-way stretch nylon and elastane blend that pulls on in seconds, with an elasticated band at each end that holds the sleeve where you put it rather than letting it work its way down your arm. Choose the plain cuff that finishes at the wrist, or the thumb loop that carries cover on over the back of your hand.
Worn with any short-sleeve top you already own, on the bike, on the coastal path, on the water or in the garden, they are sun cover you can put on and take off as the day changes.
Key Features:
- Rated UPF 50+ and blocking over 98% of UV rays across your forearms, elbows and upper arms.
- Elasticated bands at both ends hold each sleeve in position instead of sliding down and leaving a strip of skin exposed.
- Thumb loop option continues the cover over the back of your hand, the spot most people forget about until it burns.
- Four-way stretch knit pulls straight onto bare arms, turning any T-shirt you already own into long-sleeve cover, and packs down small enough to live in a jersey pocket.
- One size unisex fit with high stretch suits a wide range of arm sizes, so there is no sizing decision to get wrong.
- Damp them at a tap on a hot day and pull them straight back on for a cooling effect as they dry off.
- Reusable season after season, so there is nothing left to run out of halfway through a long day outside.
Terrabound builds practical outdoor kit for people who would rather cover up than keep topping up. Available in seven colours across two styles, in a single unisex size.
Pair them with our Men's or Women's UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie for cover from hood to knuckle on the longest days out.
Please note: Our Sun Sleeves are designed as everyday sun-protective clothing for general outdoor use. They are not medical or specialist protective equipment, and we can't guarantee a specific level of UV protection for medical purposes. If you have a medical condition that requires certified protective clothing, please don't rely on these for that. Speak to your doctor and choose clothing that is certified for your needs.
Please also bear in mind that UV protection varies by colour: the paler, less saturated shades offer a lower level of protection than the deeper, more saturated ones. If protection is your main priority, we'd suggest choosing a stronger, more saturated colour.
These sleeves cover your arms only. The rest of your skin, including your face, neck and the backs of your hands in the plain cuff style, still needs its own sun protection.
