UV Compression Arm and Calf Sleeves – Birdies Good; Bugs Bad! – The Uvoider Blog

Increasingly, golfers of all ages and abilities are wearing UV compression arm and calf sleeves. You see them on tour and at golf courses everywhere. But did you know, if addition to sun protection and muscle support, there are many other reasons to wear arm and calf sleeves? Protecting yourself from those annoying bugs that bite is one of those reasons. Here’s how UV arm and calf sleeves protect you from insects and help you play your best golf.

Keeping the biting bugs off your arms and legs

An effective insect repellent helps keep the bugs away, but it is not the only defense you should consider. The protection and support of UV compression arm and calf sleeves makes them a good idea to wear whenever you play golf. As an added layer of protection for your arms and legs, bugs are less likely to find skin to bite.

Keeping your skin cool, dry and bug free

Cool and dry skin means insects can’t find you in the first place. Bugs that bite find you by sensing heat and moisture. When you are hot and sweaty, you are far more at risk of getting bitten by a mosquito. Likewise, when the temperature of your skin is lower and not radiating heat and when your skin is dry and not producing moisture, you are far less likely to get a bug bite because they are less able to sense your presence and land on you.

Protecting your skin nonstop, not just for 2 hours

Much like sunblock, mosquito repellent and bug spray only last for two hours, assuming you don’t wipe it off before that when you towel dry the sweat dripping down your arms and onto your hands and golf glove. UV compression arm and calf sleeves protect your arms and legs whenever you are wearing them. For those sun filled outdoor activities like golf that you plan to do for more than two hours and that will be done in the presence of mosquitoes and other kinds of biting bugs, protect yourself with quality UV compression arm and calf sleeves. The best defense is a good offense.

Especially good for twilight golfing

There is no better way to end the day than with a round of twilight golf whether playing 18 holes after three o’clock or just a quick nine before the sun sets. Not only can you relax and enjoy the rest of your day, but at most courses you will also get a break on the cost of your greens fees. But be mindful and be prepared because twilight is the time of day that mosquitoes and biting bugs are most active. So protect yourself with UV compression arm and calf sleeves. Your arms and legs will thank you.

Summary

Getting bug bites won’t cause you to three-putt or make a double bogie, but they can be annoying. Some bug bites can swell up and become itchy and irritating and after a scratch or two you are left with an open sore that may take several days to heal and that may become infected. There are so many compelling reasons to wear UV compression arm and calf sleeves. Prevent skin cancer. Support arm and leg muscles. Maintain your arm triangle. Swing tension free. Look and play your best. Add to the list of reasons to wear UV compression arm and calf sleeves, less bug bites!
