What is the fabric difference between an bolero arm warmer and the cool wings anyway?
I don't have a bolero, but I really don't think these were any hotter than just sun on skin (which is HOT!). It was 95 real temp/105 heat index on my MS ride last year, and I was about as uncomfortable as everybody else.

In terms of size, they're pretty forgiving, I think. I technically shouldn't be able to wear a large (I think) - I'm slightly too large. But, it works for me. I'd call TE if in doubt, but I think you can add at least an inch to the stated sizes (and even though mine was stretched a little, I didn't get any real sun through it). I think snug is fine - I actually think it wicks better that way - but again, I'm sure Susan is a better reference than I am
