Getting ready for a day in the dirt has never been simpler or more stylish.
Finally, I can prune my heirloom roses without looking like I fought a cat! These sleeves are so much cooler than wearing a heavy long-sleeved shirt.

Fabric & Fit Details
Fabric & Fit Details
Our sleeves are crafted from a high-performance four-way stretch knit that fits like a second skin. At 17.5 inches long, they provide ample coverage from your bicep to the back of your hand. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabric ensures you stay chilled even in the midday heat, while the latex-free silica grip prevents the dreaded 'sleeve slide.'

Care & Washing Instructions
Care & Washing Instructions
Gardening is a messy business, but cleaning your sleeves isn't. Simply toss them in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. To maintain the elasticity and UPF protection, we recommend hanging them to dry in the shade. Avoid bleach and ironing to keep the patterns vibrant.

VS
Yes! Our four-way stretch fabric is designed to fit most adults comfortably, expanding significantly from the 8.7-inch relaxed circumference.
Actually, they make you feel cooler! The wicking technology uses your sweat for evaporative cooling, which feels better than bare skin in the sun.
They are great for general yard work, but always follow safety protocols for machinery. They do provide a layer of protection against flying debris like grass clippings.
They provide a physical barrier that makes it harder for ticks to reach your skin, though we recommend checking your clothes after gardening.
We recommend washing them after every heavy use, especially if you have been in contact with plant oils like poison ivy.
No! The UPF 50+ protection is built into the weave of the fabric, so it remains effective for the life of the garment.
