IceRays sun sleeves are engineered to do two things at once: deliver certified UPF 50+ sun protection and an active cooling effect on your skin. They're a superior alternative to greasy sunscreen and hot, long-sleeved shirts - ideal for golf, fishing, cycling, gardening and athletics. Safe to wear all day, and available in a range of colors and sizes.

Our sleeves use moisture-activated cooling technology. The Tactel and Spandex weave lifts moisture away from your skin, and as a breeze or your own movement evaporates it, you feel a noticeable cooling sensation - like the chill after stepping out of a pool. The sleeve also creates a cooling microclimate between the fabric and your arm on hot days.

A premium blend of 85% Tactel and 15% Spandex. Tactel is incredibly soft, lightweight, breathable and strong, and dries eight times faster than cotton. The Spandex adds four-way stretch, so the sleeves conform to your arm while holding their shape and protection.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. That protection comes from the fabric's dense physical weave - not a chemical coating - so it never washes out. Our rating is independently lab-tested to the UPF 50+ standard. View our certification.

Covering up is one of the most effective barriers against harmful UV. A certified UPF 50+ physical block gives more reliable, consistent protection than sunscreen, which can be applied incorrectly or wear off. IceRays work best as part of a complete sun-safety strategy that also includes seeking shade and wearing protective clothing and hats.

One size fits most adults and teenagers. The high-stretch fabric conforms to a wide range of arm shapes and sizes for a snug, secure fit that never feels restrictive.

We offer a wide range of colors to match any style or activity - White, Black, Beige (skin tone), Light Blue, Charcoal, Light Grey, Pink and Navy. Availability can vary by pack, so check the product page for current options.

Yes. Nothing ruins a round of golf or a bike ride like constantly hitching up your sleeves. The form-fitting fabric and our signature wide, soft upper band hold each sleeve securely on your bicep - without pinching or cutting in.

Yes. Tactel naturally resists odour, and the fabric is treated with an antibacterial agent to stop bacteria and odour building up. The light compression can also support circulation and help reduce muscle vibration and soreness during activity.

To preserve the UV protection and cooling performance, hand wash in cool water with a mild soap and hang in the shade to dry. They can also be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle, ideally inside a delicates bag. Never tumble dry, bleach, or use fabric softener - these damage the fabric and its performance.

IceRays are built for active use. The fabric resists running, so if you snag a sleeve on a thorn or sharp edge the damage stays cosmetic - it won't unravel or compromise protection. For very rough tasks, wear them as a cooling base layer under heavier-duty gear.

With proper care, years. The UV protection is woven into the fabric, not coated on, so it won't wash out. In cooler months they double as a lightweight base layer, adding warmth under a shirt or jacket without bulk or restricting movement.
