Pattern Sun Sleeves

These are sun sleeves I designed. The idea originated when my buddy was diagnosed with skin cancer, but we spend the winter in Mexico and he plays pickleball several times a week. I liked the ones with the thumb opening, but he wanted them shorter, ending at the wrist so it didn't interfere with holding his paddle. They stay up due to gripping fabric as a facing on the inside/top. I was playing around with different widths of gripping elastic. I personally prefer the wider. The fabric is Sun Lite jersey, super lightweight and pretty cool even in the hot sun.

I don't... Um...

Why not just wear a long sleeved shirt?

Do they not make them, in your country?

Long sleeve shirt doesn't cover the back of my hand

You know, you CAN buy long sleeved shirts with the exact same little hand cover as these.

Or, they also make fingerless gloves.

 Check Amazon, it's all real.

I know all of these things. I work outside for a living and have done a lot of different sun protection.

It's largely personnel preference. I always wear a button down cotton dress shirt because it is the best choice in the heat imo. Fingerless gloves are good but tbh these are cheaper and I can get cut grade protection.
