    Question Have you tried these?

    Hi there,

    It was perfect biking weather on Saturday, I guess I underestimated sun, got horribly burned has anyone tried these, it would be nice not to get sunblock all over the handle bars too?

    TE sells arm coolers. I just got some and love them so far.

    +1 on the DeSoto arm coolers.

    They fit kind of odd IMO, but if you can get them to stay up, they prevent sunburn and keep you cool.

    But doesn't it make you hotter to have the long sleeves on?

    One of the couples from Australia wore these (not sure which brand) on our tour in Spain, when it was like 95 degrees. I am sure they were sun experts, given where they live, but they both looked totally red in the face and hot wearing those things in 95 degree heat. I never get burned, even though I am fair, from good use of sun block. One of the best strategies I have found is to put it on well before going out... up to an hour.

    Catrin, they don't make me hot at all. You can feel the breeze through them. And pouring water on them is divine.
