Reapplying sunscreen mid-ride means stopping, finding the bottle in your pocket, dealing with greasy hands on the bars, and hoping you didn't miss a spot. Giordana's Sun Sleeve eliminates that hassle entirely with UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays all day long without any maintenance.

The material is also breathable and fast-wicking, moving moisture away from your skin to keep you comfortable during hard efforts in full sun.

Light elastic grippers at the top of each sleeve keep them in place without constricting your biceps or sliding down during long rides.
