Sparms Arm Sleeves

What are arm sleeves?

Arm sleeves are a form of clothing apparel made to either protect from UV, create warmth or keep you cool during athletic performance. They are essentially tight, stretchy fabric tubes that you slide onto you arms to cover from your wrist to your bicep, with brands like Sparms also making a should and back cover.

Who uses arm sleeves?

In the sports and fitness space they are great for basketball, baseball, running, tennis, golf and cycling. Pretty much any sport where the compression and sun protection are advantageous. To be honest, they are also good for people that frequently spend time in the sun working or for recreation. Think construction workers, hikers, gardeners or those that love  to go for long walks in the sunshine. Arm sleeves that have some compression are also good for muscle recovery, managing swelling and joint pain. I also have a friend that uses them to cover his tattoos when at work.

What are the benefits of wearing arm sleeves?

Arm sleeves can not only protect you against harmful UV rays, but those with graduated compression squeeze the arm to help blood and oxygen flow back to the heart. Arm sleeves also reduce muscle vibration and fatigue during heavy activity, helping you recover faster and perform better for longer.

In the case of Sparms you have the proven benefit of cooling via moisture-wicking fabrics, which also keep you warm in chilly weather. One of the other reasons they’re great, particularly for runners, is they offer some protection from scratches and minor bumps.

Why do we love Sparms?

Sparms are primarily a UV protecting layer made with certified UPF 50+ Protective materials. They are extremely comfortable and the cooling effect is very noticeable. From easy runs to outright sprinting, they move well with your body and feel amazing from start to finish. There’s no annoying spots with the seams that rub or areas of restriction.

The CoolTech fabric pulls heat and moisture away from your skin with studies showing it can drop your skin temperature by up to 2 degrees. They’re lightweight, breathable, look great and come in various styles to suit not only your aesthetic preferences, but how you like to cover up.
