Arm Coolers, Do they really work?

[meridian]

I'm wondering if they work well enough to invest in for days in sunny 90-100 degree weather.

Does anyone have personal experience with this product?

Oooh, I too need to know if they work. I'm really thinking about getting the Cool Wings. I tan super easy; I could probably tan in moonlight. I'm hoping a summer bolero could keep my arms from turning in to a patchwork of tan lines.

Perhaps I'll just buy it and let you know.

I bought the arm coolers for my husband who can't stand being too hot. He used them on a hilly 98 degree century ride, and gives them 2 thumbs up. I'm thinking of the cool wings too, since my arms are too skinny to hold up the arm coolers. The fabric is very light, so I think sunscreen use under them is wise.

Someone was looking for summer tights recently... do the arm cooler people make "leg coolers" too?

EDIT: Just asking cause I can't get the link to load! Grrrr dial up!!!

oooh...leg coolers?!?!?! Sigh, just went out to DeSoto's web site and no such luck. Bummer. Great idea, though. I think we're still coming up a bust on warm weather tights. I think it is just a matter of time. Oh, someone please prove me wrong!!!!

I have the arm cooler and they work for me. Also see it as an additional sun protection!

Hope this helps

Well, why don't we all start emailing any and all of "arm cooler people/suppliers" and suggest it... with sun safety a "hot topic" (pun intended ) I am sure someone will see the potential in designing and marketing these...
