ActiveIce Full Finger Sun Sleeve

Keeping the sun away from bare arms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only worn once so far but they did a good job keeping me from getting sunburnt

Great for summer driving

I just ordered two more pairs of ActiveIce long gloves in S/M, the smaller of two available sizes. Outdoor Research should make these in XS, S, M, and L. I would like XS best. The S/M is too big all over. These gloves do not make me overheated during the summer. They don't make me feel cool, but they don't make me overheat. That's how I know ActiveIce technology works. They cover my arms up to the shoulder. I like the pale gray color. The fabric doesn't interfere with touchscreens. If the S/M fit snugly as gloves should, I'd be able to use my phone with the gloves on. The fingertips wore out within a few months. I used these everyday all summer. The material is thin and light. They easily fit into any purse I carry. If I could find better fitting gloves that cover exposed parts of my arm, don't make me overheat, are touchscreen compatible, come in an attractive color, and squish into a similarly compact size, I'd buy them, but I can't. So far there is no substitute for the Outdoor Research gloves.

Great UPF Item

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

This UPF+ 50 item is a must-have, I like how it is not skin-tight because I like to wear this over my arms after applying sunblock. The material is breathable and lightweight which is perfect for when you are on-the-go. Definitely recommend especially if you are a commuter!
