The Assos Summer Arm Protector UV P1 is designed for adult cyclists and triathletes looking for reliable sun protection during high-intensity rides in hot, sunny conditions. These ultralight, breathable sleeves provide essential UPF 50+ shielding while actively cooling the skin through high-performance polyester fabric, though they offer minimal thermal insulation for cooler weather.

No, they are engineered specifically for cooling and sun protection in hot weather, not for keeping you warm.
While they are made of polyester, they are designed for cycling and triathlon disciplines; excessive exposure to chlorine or salt water may degrade the material faster.
The protection is integrated into the fabric, but like any technical garment, excessive washing and sun exposure over multiple seasons may reduce efficacy.
They can be folded or rolled into a small size to fit into any standard jersey pocket.
Yes, the stretch composition allows for a second-skin fit across a wide range of arm shapes and sizes.
Ensure the sleeves are pulled up high enough to allow the upper elastic band to grip the shoulder/bicep area firmly. Avoid using lotions or sunscreens on the skin where the elastic band sits.
Check that the sleeves are sized correctly and that no debris or salt buildup from sweat is trapped against the skin. Rinse thoroughly after every ride.
For the best results, pull the sleeves on completely straight and ensure the seams are positioned away from the inside of your elbow to avoid rubbing during prolonged movement. The sleeves are highly compatible with any short-sleeve cycling jersey. To ensure the longevity of the UV-blocking properties and fabric elasticity, machine wash the protectors on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the moisture-wicking technology, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the elastic fibers.
