Cycling Sun Sleeves & Warmers
Beat the burn. Tame the chill. Our sun sleeves, arm warmers, knee warmers, and leg warmers are low‑bulk layers that manage UV, wind, and temperature swings—built to disappear under pressure on road and gravel.
Choose Your Coverage
Sun sleeves (UPF): lightweight, breathable sleeves that block UV while wicking sweat; stay cooler and skip the re‑apply.
Arm warmers (thermal): brushed interiors add warmth for cool starts and descents; peel when it heats up.
Knee warmers: mid‑range insulation with max mobility—perfect for shoulder‑season efforts.
Leg warmers: full‑length coverage for cold rides without committing to tights; stashable and fast to deploy.
Temperature Guide
70°F+ (sun control): UPF sun sleeves for long exposed miles.
55–70°F: arm warmers for cool air; add knee warmers if descents bite.
45–55°F: thermal arm + knee warmers; swap to leg warmers if you run cold.
30–45°F: leg warmers; consider stepping up to men’s tights & bib tights or women’s tights & bib tights.
Below 30°F: insulated systems; move to full tights and add outer shells.
Wet or windy? Bump up one level and add a shell from Men’s Jackets & Vests or Women’s Jackets & Vests.
Layer Like a System
Base: start with moisture‑moving layers—men’s baselayers or women’s baselayers—to keep skin dry.
Mid: add men’s jerseys or women’s jerseys for storage and on‑body venting.
Outer: top with wind or rain protection; see Men’s Wet Weather or Women’s Wet Weather.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Warmers should fit close with even compression; grippers hold without pinch and seams lie flat. Measure bicep and thigh/calf where the grippers sit. If between sizes, consider your preference: tighter for stability, looser for on/off ease.
FAQ
Do sun sleeves keep you cooler?
Yes—UPF fabrics reflect/absorb UV while wicking sweat, boosting evaporative cooling on long, exposed rides.
Arm + knee vs. full leg warmers?
Arm + knee gives max flexibility for changeable days; leg warmers win for colder, steady temps and early starts.
Will warmers stay put?
Look for wide silicone grippers and right‑sized circumference; position on clean, dry skin for best hold.
How do I care for them?
Wash cold, skip fabric softener, and air‑dry to preserve stretch, grippers, and UPF performance.
