Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO I CHOOSE MY SIZE?
Protection Sleeves: Size the same as your shirt. Fit should feel snug, not loose. If between sizes, go smaller.
Rugged Guard Leather Gloves: Our gloves run small. If between sizes, go up. Measure across the widest part of your palm.
Wide-Brim Sun Hat: Fits most head sizes. An internal elastic band helps it sit securely throughout the day.
UV Sun Hoodie: Size the same as your regular tops. Relaxed fit for easy movement and layering.
Canvas Workhorse Apron: One size fits most. Adjustable neck and waist ties sit comfortably over any outfit.
CAN I EXCHANGE IF THE FIT IS WRONG?
Yes. Every kit comes with a lifetime guarantee.
If the fit is not right, email [email protected] with your order number and we will take care of it.
WILL THE SLEEVES MAKE ME HOT?
Most customers expect to overheat. Most customers are surprised they don't.
The sleeves are made with REPREVE moisture-wicking fabric. It pulls sweat away from your skin and lets air move through while the fabric blocks the sun from landing directly on you.
The most common thing new customers tell us? "My arms were actually the coolest part of me the whole afternoon."
Individual experience varies based on conditions. But these are built for long outdoor days, not a quick trip outside.
Which Kit Should You Choose?
Both kits cover the essentials. The Complete System covers the full garden day.

Find Your Best Fit Before You Order
Sizing is the #1 thing customers ask about. Here's how every piece is meant to fit.
One size fits most. The apron is designed with adjustable neck and waist ties so it sits comfortably over any outfit.
Size the same as your shirt. Fit should feel snug, not loose. If between sizes, go smaller.
Our gloves run small. If between sizes, go up. Measure across the widest part of your palm to find your size.
Fits most head sizes. Each hat has an internal elastic band that helps it sit securely throughout the day.
Size the same as your regular tops. Relaxed fit designed for easy movement and layering.
Still unsure?
You have a lifetime guarantee. If the fit is not right, email [email protected] and we will take care of it.
Made By People Who Actually Spend Time Outside
Farmer's Defense started in Santa Cruz, California with a simple idea: outdoor protection should actually feel good enough to wear.
This is not cheap Amazon gear with a logo. It is protective gear made for real garden days.
How Farmer's Defense Compares To The Usual Garden Protection
Your Questions, Answered
The Sun-Smart Kit is for everyday gardeners who garden 1 to 2 hours at a time and want arms, hands, and head protection. The Complete System is for serious gardeners who spend hours outside and want body and clothes protection too. If you regularly garden more than 2 hours per session, most customers say the Complete System is the better fit and saves $164.
Most customers expect to overheat. Most customers are surprised they don't.
The sleeves are made with REPREVE moisture-wicking fabric. It pulls sweat away from your skin and lets air move through while the fabric blocks the sun from landing directly on you.
Bare skin in direct afternoon sun absorbs heat. Lightweight breathable coverage blocks it.
The most common thing new customers tell us? "My arms were actually the coolest part of me the whole afternoon."
Individual experience varies based on conditions. But these are built for long outdoor days, not a quick trip outside.
Protection Sleeves: Size the same as your shirt. The fit should feel snug, not loose. Snug stays up. Loose slides. If between sizes, go smaller.
Rugged Guard Gloves: Our gloves run a little small. If between sizes, go up. Measure across the widest part of your palm.
Wide-Brim Sun Hat: Each hat is handmade with a slight natural variance. An internal elastic band helps it fit securely on most head sizes.
UV Sun Hoodie: Size the same as your regular tops. Relaxed fit designed for easy movement and layering.
Yes, when sized correctly.
The fit is designed to hold in place during garden movement without digging in. Snug is the key. If they slide, size down.
Customers who size snug, the same as their shirt size, consistently say they forget they are even wearing them.
Sunscreen is useful. But it was not built for long garden days.
It wears off in 1 to 2 hours when you are sweating. It comes off when you wipe your arms. It is easy to miss spots on your own forearms. And stopping every 90 minutes to reapply is not realistic when you are mid-task.
Farmer's Defense sleeves give your arms continuous coverage from shoulder to wrist. No reapplying. No missed spots. No mess on your hands and tools.
Yes. Every kit comes with a lifetime guarantee.
If something is not right, email [email protected] with your order number and we will take care of it. No hoops. No hassle.
Not at all.
Customers use Farmer's Defense gear for hiking, horse care, mowing, ranch work, landscaping, kayaking, construction, fishing, and outdoor delivery work.
Any job where your skin is in the sun for hours at a time. Any day where you want to come inside feeling better than when you went out.
