10 Best Running Arm Sleeves Features Reviewed and Rated in 2018 | Uvoider – The Uvoider Blog

If you have been to a running event lately, then you have likely noticed that many runners are now wearing running arm sleeves. Runners have different reasons for why they wear running arm sleeves. There are many features to running arm sleeves and some are more important than others. What we found out might surprise you. Based upon reviews and ratings, here are the 10 best running arm sleeves features.

10 Best Running Arm Sleeves Features

#1 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Fit

The top ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was fit. Perhaps this should come as no surprise. Running involves constant arm motion and running arm sleeves that are poorly constructed or that don’t fit will not stay up. No runner wants to be constantly pulling up their arm sleeves. For fit, is important to look for running arm sleeves that come in a wide range of sizes. For example, Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves come in 12 different sizes from Youth Small to Adult 4XL. This granular sizing ensures that you can get the exact fit that you want. Arm sleeves that only come in a limited number of sizes or that combine sizes such as S/M and L/XL have too wide of a gap from one size to the next resulting in a poor fit that is too tight or too loose.

#2 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Cooling

The second ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was cooling. The moisture wicking properties of Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves keeps the arms cool and dry. Runners get hot and on a hot and humid day, rather than baking in the sun, running arm sleeves keeps your arms dry and makes your arms feel as if they are in air condition. Hot weather runners especially like this feature.

#3 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Extreme UPF 50+ Protection Against UV Rays

The third ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was Extreme UPF 50+ protection against the harmful UV rays of the sun. Runners of all ages must worry about over exposure to the sun. All it takes is just fifteen minutes of exposure to the sun without protection to cause damage to the skin. Runners are at risk of getting precancerous skin damage which can lead to skin cancer. Uvoider Arm UV Sleeves have extreme UPF 50+ protection and are far more effective than sunblock in protecting your skin. And unlike sunblock which only lasts two hours and is messy, running arm sleeves protect you as long as you are wearing them and there is no mess.

#4 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Colors and Styles

The fourth ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was colors and styles. Some runners like to wear eye-catching colors and designs. This is not just a fashion statement but highly practical as in crowded events such as a marathon or charity 5K race, friends and co-runners that might be looking for you can more easily spot and pick you out of a crowd. Other runners that run at night or along the roadside like to wear safety colors such as neon yellow with reflective strips to ensure that they can be seen by those they share the road with like cars, trucks, SUVs and buses. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves come in 40 different colors and styles.

#5 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Elastic Gripper

The fifth ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was the elastic gripper. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves have an elastic gripper made of silicon at the top of the arm sleeves which ensures that the sleeves will stay up on your arms. Running arm sleeves that do not have a quality elastic gripper rely upon a tight fit in order to stay in place. After a few wears the fit at the top of the sleeve loosens and these sleeves fall down your arm. A good, high quality elastic gripper is essential to running arm sleeves.

#6 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Durability

The sixth ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was durability. Durability is a feature of any product. Just as a runner would not want their shoes to fall apart after a few wears, neither does a runner want this for their running arm sleeves. Cheaply made arm sleeves do not fit well, do not have extreme UPF 50+ protection and do not have lasting compression. Simply put, they do not work and they do not last. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves are durable and can be machine washed making them a long lasting addition to your running attire.

#7 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Sweat Prevention

Sweat prevention was the seventh ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners. Let’s face it, runners sweat and runners that run without running arm sleeves, especially on hot and humid days, are likely to have sweat dripping down their arms. And after your run, anything your arms touch like a chair or car seat will instantly become wet and messy and possibly stained. When you wear running arm sleeves, your arms stay dry and cool because the moisture wicking properties of running arm sleeves wicks away your perspiration before it can even become sweat. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves prevents your arms from sweating. Your arms will feel better and won’t become a sweaty mess.

#8 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Anti-bacterial and Odor Resistant

Being anti-bacterial and odor resistant was the eighth ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves are made of anti-bacterial and odor resistant fabric. This keeps bacteria from forming and growing on your arm sleeves keeping them cleaner, fresher to wear, and odor free. Running arm sleeves without this feature amass bacteria which can make them smell bad and cause staining.

#9 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Stitching

The ninth ranked running arm sleeves feature cited by runners was stitching. Quality stitching is important for comfort, fit and durability. Poor stitching can feel scratchy and irritating to the arms. Running arm sleeves that are poorly stitched come apart after a few wears and become unwearable. Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves have quality flat lock stitching which makes the sleeves comfortable to wear, ensures a good fit throughout the entire arm sleeve, and makes the sleeves very durable and long lasting.

#10 Best Running Arm Sleeves Feature – Compression

The tenth ranked running arm sleeve feature cited by runners was compression. The compression in Uvoider UV Arm Sleeves is beneficial in a number of ways. Compression provides performance, support, and protection to the muscles in your arms. Running arm sleeves and especially running calf sleeves improve blood circulation and keep your muscles feeling fresh.
