TZT Sports Arm Sleeves Gardening Sleeves for Women UV Farm Sun Protection Thorn Proof cooling Arms for Garden Farm - 1 Pair

Bought these to avoid the sun and protect my arms at work. They looked good and felt great on except for the top part that was too tight under my underarms. My circulation was being cut off and no matter how much i wanted to wear these i couldn't do it for longer than 25 minutes.

I'm 5-6, 175#, not especially big in the upper arm. These cut off blood flow and were uncomfortable. I did like the band better than the other pair I bought, but still too tight. Disappointing because I love the design.

A bit tight on bicep elastic area making them uncomfortable but otherwise nice color, soft ,and light weight.

I garden every day in the spring summer and fall, and these have really saved me from getting scratched up by sticks, thorns and the dreaded chicken wire snag.. Very happy with purchase.

I got these to help protect my arm against scratches from my many, many kitties because I have surgery coming up and they need the arm healthy and clean. On the one hand (no pun intended) the sleeve had done a great job protecting against the little murder mitten play, sharp claws haven't pierced through to cut my skin around the forearm or wrist once since beginning use of the sleeve. HOWEVER, there is a run in the upper part of the sleeve already. The stitching became compromised due to the fatness of my upper arm forcing a tear in that appears to have continued to fray down the sleeve. This is frustrating because I do not know if I can get a replacement/refund due to faulty stitching or if, because this happened due to my own fatness, I'm screwed and have to try to stop the unraveling myself. On the whole, the sleeve has protected me from nicks and scrapes of the pokey little claws and teeth as I wished, but I am concerned that the fraying tear will continue to compromise the sleeve making it useless and thus a waste of money within a few days. BTW, the pattern is beautiful, the feel is comfortable and breathable, it is light and does not trap in tremendous amounts of heat - a plus given that it is summer and 80+degrees.
