Will they fit me?

One size fits all adults. Smooth the fabric into place and check comfortable movement with your usual shirt. Contact us if you would like help.

Putting them on: 3 steps

  1. Bunch the sleeve gently at your wrist.
  2. Slide it up your arm without pulling hard at the top band.
  3. Smooth the fabric and check that it feels comfortable.

Watch the original sleeve demonstration

This archival demonstration compares a bare arm with the outside of the fabric in one setting. It does not establish skin temperature beneath a sleeve or a guaranteed cooling benefit. Comfort varies with conditions.

Silent excerpt from Anne Rollo's original demonstration: she aims a handheld thermometer at her bare forearm, shows its display, puts on a white sleeve, then repeats the action on the sleeve surface. This archival demonstration compares exposed surfaces in one setting. It does not establish the temperature of skin beneath the sleeve or a guaranteed cooling benefit. Comfort varies with conditions.
