Why Hands Show It First

The backs of your hands are in the light more than almost any other part of you - gardening, walking, holding a steering wheel, hanging the washing - and they are the one place almost nobody thinks to cover. Sunscreen comes off them first, on the tap, the trolley handle, the wheel. Over the years that adds up, and hands tend to show it before the rest of us does.
Nothing Left Bare Where It Counts

Most sun sleeves finish at the wrist, which leaves uncovered the exact patch of skin people notice first. Sola has a thumbhole, so the knit carries on over the wrist and across the back of the hand to the knuckle line. Your fingers and thumb stay free - for secateurs, a steering wheel, a phone screen or a watering can.
Cool, Light, And Easy To Live With

The ice-silk knit feels cool against the skin as you pull it on, and it keeps taking the heat off your arms rather than trapping it - which is the opposite of what most people expect from covering up in summer. Light enough that you stop noticing them within a minute, and they wash and dry overnight so a clean pair is always ready.

The detail: a seamless 85% nylon, 10% spandex and 5% ice-silk knit with four-way stretch and a wide elastic band at the bicep. One size, with enough stretch to suit most adult arms. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, bleach or iron.

Hands Show It First

We cover our faces without thinking about it. Hands get forgotten, and they are in the light more than almost anything else - weeding, walking, driving, hanging out the washing, carrying the shopping in. They are also the first place sunscreen comes off. On the tap, the trolley handle, the steering wheel. Years of that adds up quietly, and hands tend to show it before the rest of us does.

Nothing Left Bare Where It Counts

A sleeve that stops at the wrist protects the part of your arm a shirt was already half covering, and leaves bare the part you actually look at. Sola keeps going - bicep to knuckles. A wide elastic band above the elbow so it does not creep down, then a thumbhole that holds the knit flat across the back of your hand. Fingers free. Grip unchanged.

On In Seconds, Then Forgotten

Sunscreen is not the problem. Remembering it is. Nobody stops at two in the afternoon to do their hands again, and on hands it is the first thing to come off anyway. Three pairs means one by the back door, one in the car and one in the wash - so there is always a clean pair where you need it. You put them on with your shoes or your seatbelt, and an hour later they are still doing their job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which arm do they go on?

Either - every sleeve is identical, so most people wear a matched pair. If you only reach for one, make it whichever arm sees more sun. For a lot of Australian drivers that is the right, since it sits nearest the window.
Will they slide down while I'm wearing them?

The thumbhole anchors the lower end, which is the main reason plain sleeves creep, and a wide elastic band holds the top. If a sleeve does slide on you, it is almost always a size too large - send us your measurement and we will swap it.
Do I still need sunscreen?

Yes - on everything the sleeves do not cover: your face, neck, ears and fingers. Covering fabric and sunscreen do different jobs, and Cancer Council Australia recommends using several forms of protection together rather than relying on any one of them.
Can I still grip things and use my phone?

Yes. The knit stops at the knuckle line, so your fingers and thumb are bare. Touchscreens, secateurs, a steering wheel and a trowel all work normally, and there is no fabric across your palm.
Are they hot to wear in an Australian summer?

It is the first thing everyone asks, and the answer surprises people. The ice-silk knit feels cool as it goes on and keeps taking the heat off your arm rather than holding it in - we wear these ourselves through an Australian summer and they are more comfortable than bare skin in direct sun, not less.

Standing still in full sun on a 40 degree day is the hardest test for any sleeve, and nothing is magic. If you find them warm, that is fair feedback and the 14 day guarantee covers 
Will they fit me?

They come in one size with four-way stretch, made to suit most adult arms. To check, measure around the widest part of your upper arm β€” anything up to [INSERT MAXIMUM UPPER-ARM CIRCUMFERENCE IN CM, MEASURED FROM A SLEEVE ONCE STOCK ARRIVES] sits comfortably without digging in. If yours is close to that or you are unsure, email us before you order and we will tell you honestly.
How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours, then hang dry in the shade. No tumble dryer, no bleach, no ironing and no fabric softener - softener coats the fibres and reduces the stretch that holds them up.
What should I know about the sun protection?

Sola is made from a close-knit sun-protective fabric rated UPF 50 by the manufacturer.

A UPF rating applies only to the area of skin actually covered, and protection may be reduced if the fabric is wet, stretched, or worn out over time. For best sun protection, use it together with hats, clothing that covers as much skin as possible, sunglasses, sunscreen and shade.

Sola is a garment, not a medical device, and makes no claim to prevent, treat or cure any condition. It will not remove pigmentation you already have. If you have a mole or mark that is new, changing, or worrying you, please see your GP or a dermatologist.
