Size Guide: Protection Sleeves

Find Your Size

Measure the widest point of your upper arm (unflexed).

Size	Upper Arm
XS	7.5" – 9"
S/M	9" – 11"
L/XL	11" – 13"
XXL	13" – 16"

We recommend sizing down when between sizes. A snug fit keeps the sleeve in place. Too loose and it will slide down while you work.

Measure a relaxed arm. Do not flex the bicep.

Why Gardeners Wear Them

Four reasons these become the only sleeves you reach for.

Designed with real gardeners and tested through five Santa Cruz growing seasons. Every detail solves a problem you've actually had.

Blocks 98% of UV Rays

Tested to UPF 50+ by an independent lab, these sleeves intercept 98% of UVA and UVB radiation before it touches your skin. That means real protection through peak hours, not just light filtering.

UPF 50+ Lab Verified

Stops Scratches & Thorns

Tight-knit fabric creates a barrier between your forearms and whatever you're pruning, trellising, or harvesting. Roses, squash leaves, tomato suckers — none of it reaches skin.

UPF 50+ SUN PROTECTION

Protection Sleeves are made for the hours you spend outdoors

Whether you’re tending a backyard garden or exploring the great outdoors, if the sun’s on your arms, protection should be too.

You Garden Daily

For the person who's outside every morning before the heat peaks, tending beds, harvesting, or just walking the rows.

You Have Sensitive Skin

If spending time outdoors leaves your skin feeling sensitive or irritated. Our sleeves offer lightweight coverage that stays comfortable all day

You're Tired of Sunscreen

Greasy hands while handling seeds or transplants? Sunscreen that wears off in an hour? There's a better way. Pull these on and forget about it.

You Want To Protect Tattoos

UV fades ink faster than age. Full-sleeve UPF 50+ coverage keeps your work vivid for years longer than going bare in the garden.

You Brush Poison Ivy

A physical barrier between your skin and urushiol oil is the most reliable prevention. Slip these on when working near ivy, oak, or sumac.

You Drive · Hike · Bike

Window UV, trail exposure, road cycling — these sleeves work everywhere sun finds your arms, not just in the garden.

Sleeve FAQs

Will these protect against thorns/poison ivy?

While our Protection Sleeves haven't been independently lab-tested against urushiol, thousands of customers wear them specifically for working around poison ivy, poison oak, and thorny plants. The fabric is designed to act as a physical barrier between your skin and what you're working around.

They're built for everyday garden and field work — pulling weeds, pruning roses, clearing brush, and protecting your arms from the scratches and irritation that come with it. They're not puncture-proof, so very heavy thorny work may still get through — but for typical garden tasks, they hold up well.

What customers are saying

Garden sleeves

"Great fit, protects my arms from thorns, etc. while I'm working."

★★★★★ Verified Buyer October 2025

Perfect solution

"I am very happy with my protection sleeves. I have been tackling an overgrown yard full of poison ivy. For the first time in many attempts, I was finally able to clear the poison ivy while comfortable and no exposure!!"

Will I get hot wearing them?

In mild-to-moderate heat, most customers report feeling cooler in our sleeves than in a long-sleeve shirt — the fabric is lightweight and breathable, and it blocks the sun while still letting air move through.

For extreme heat or extended outdoor use, you may prefer our ProMesh Protection Sleeves, made with a lightweight breathable mesh panel fabric designed specifically for hot weather.

Tip from our customers: wet the sleeves in cold water before working — the evaporation creates a noticeable cooling effect.

What's the difference between these and ProMesh?

Both styles offer UPF 50+ protection and help shield your arms from scratches, dirt, and bugs. It really comes down to comfort and personal preference — many of our customers own both.
