Long Sleeves


Phreddy

Recommended Posts

I can tell you that if you experienced the sunburns that i had as a kid, you would view UV skin damage like cigarette smoking.  Totally damaging to the body and easily avoided.

 

The sunblocker chemicals, the 'arm condoms' (or long sleeve shirts), the wide brim hats, the two gloves, the long trousers, the large umbrella, the darkest possible sunglasses all help keep me UV damage free despite living in the tropics. And i am only 1/2 step above an albino in skin and eye color.

 

All the above mentioned protectors are absolutely no trouble compared to the alternative.  Of course, full disclosure: i am not a woman so beauty and fashion do not feature in my decisions.

There are generally three types. You have your basic sun sleeves that cover only the arms. Friction holds them up. 

 

Then there's a full long sleeve base layer. There are ones that are fairly loose, and ones that are compression fitting. 

 

Finally there are "shawl" sun sleeves that have a partial top that loop around the upper part of the back.

What type are you looking for? All are available on Amazon from multiple companies. 

 

 

The shawl sleeve style is great.  No problem with the sleeves not staying up and much cooler (temp) than a full sleeved layer.  Just google “shawl sleeves” and many options come up, but evidently the gold standard is Sparms.  I believe it’s an Australian company - and they definitely know about sun!  Many LPGA players promote them.

Sparms are awesome.  Pretty much all I will use in hot weather.  Cooler weather I wear Denali scoop neck shirts under my polo.

I wear long sleeve base layers year round, no matter what/where - work, play, whenever. Cooler temps is Rukka outlast mock t-neck. Hotter temps is Patagonia ultralight capeline. Actually started when I was young, as t-shirt over a thermal underwear top was a common surfer look. Functional on winter dawn patrol sessions (yes, San Diego gets chilly in the winter and the water is mid-high 50’s).

 

still prefer a ball cap to a wide brim, but sunscreen on the face neck and ears is a must.

Anyone ever use a ball cap with a neck/ear flap/cover/shade? I have to imagine I wouldn't like the cover touching my neck, especially during a swing.

I just purchased some sun sleeves. Going to give them a try. I hope I like them because I really don't like wearing sun screen so much.

All subject to change in the blink of an eye.........and I blink a lot.

If they’re wearing these for sun protection, why are they wearing shorts?

 

Generally speaking, arms are significantly more exposed simply by virtue of holding a club whether it be putting or hitting driver or iron.  They can also wear sunscreen on their legs without much impact regarding transfer from the legs to hands among other things (i.e.: scent, greasiness to the hands, etc.). 

 

But ask a dozen players and you may get a dozen different responses.

There are plenty of players who wear pants year round. 

 

Personally I wear shorts in hot weather because they're cooler than pants. Sun sleeves actually breath.

 

Also, I have a hunch I'd get tossed from the courses if I showed up on the first tee wearing a skort. 🙃

Wouldn't that all depend on how long since you last shaved?

I’m surprised they focus on their arms but not their legs, though. Why only be concerned with 2/4 limbs?

Pure Silk is an LPGA sponsor?

I use UV arm sleeves that are designed for road cyclists - the brand is Castelli. Thin and has elastic bands at the top and bottom so they don't slide even on hot days (not that we have that many here in Norway, but the sun can get pretty intense, even for me who's got a bit of colour ;-).

I have them too, but mine are black and have a fleece or flocked lining for riding in the fall/winter season!

Can somebody please tell me where to purchase the long sleeve  sun tops that the ladies are wearing?  The only ones that I have found are way to lose and not comfortable.

Coolibar, Sun Precautions, and Solumbra are three companies that sell sun protection clothing.
