So I work at a plant nursery, and honestly I don’t like having to worry about sun screen. So I thought “hey, let’s treat myself to something nice.” Sadly, these only lived up to half the expectations.
While they are comfy, barely itchy and do their job well. They. Always. Fall. Off.
This isn’t just like, a little slippage, these things are falling down past my elbow if I don’t bend it enough. All of that happens from natural movements and just falling off. I also have to pull them 2 inches above the wrist to make them go as high as I wanted on my arms as well.
Love the product, but I hate the slippage, bothers me a lot,

These sleeves worked great for my trail marathon in northern Minnesota in September. They were very comfortable and allowed me to change layers without having to take off my running backpack.
As others have noted, the sizing is tricky, because the sleeves are meant to be worn with negative ease. For an item like this, it would be helpful if the size chart included the intended arm circumference for each size, along with the garment measurements. I used a medium for my race, which was too big, but I rolled the top down to make them fit. I ordered a small during the end-of-season sale, and will give the medium to a runner with larger arms than mine.

I LOVE these arm bands!!!! They are so soft and pliable, not scratchy at all. I really wish that they didn't run out of stock so fast...thats very frustrating! :) I'm keeping my eye out for returning natural colors too!

Good quality. Have not been able to wear, as I am needing to return for larger size.
Hi Daria,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the quality. We completely understand needing a different size and hope the exchange goes smoothly so you can enjoy them soon!

I really like my new arm sleeves from Arms of Andes. I'm a medium and long-distance runner and they are a perfect addition to my running outfit (short sleeve shirt and shorts) on cooler winter evenings in coastal California. They are warm and comfortable and are easily removed after I warm up when the weather is a little warmer. Further, they are easy to launder, which I don't have to do very often as they remain fresh even after many days of use.
I found them a little loose, even though I purchased the size large sleeves after reading carefully the sizing info on the website and measuring my arm dimensions. There is no elastic in the sleeves to take up any slack. In hindsight, though my current selection fits me tolerably well, I might have been happier with size medium sleeves. This was my sole reason for assigning a 4-star rating. Otherwise, these are 5-star products!
