<\/b>The sun can be a cyclist’s best ally or greatest enemy. When the sun is shining, nothing can stop us from getting on our bikes, but let’s not be careless, especially when we are wearing short-sleeved cycling jerseys and bib shorts, as our skin is highly exposed to the UV rays. While the sun keeps us warm and helps us generate vitamin D, we should avoid being continuously and unintentionally exposed to its rays without proper care and protection.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three options to protect ourselves from UV rays when cycling: going out when the sun is not shining, applying sunscreen or wearing clothes that cover our skin. <\/b>If you like cycling but you can’t (or don’t want to) go out early or very late to avoid the scorching sun, and you often forget to apply sunscreen before and during long rides, then the only way to protect your skin is to cover it with specific cycling clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the garments that you can use are <\/span>summer cycling arm sleeves with UV protection.<\/b> The Climatik arm sleeves model from Siroko<\/b><\/a> is designed to protect our arms from the sun and at the same time allow the skin to breathe naturally, cooling itself by sweating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

They are made of a fabric with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+. <\/b>This term indicates the amount of ultraviolet radiation that the fabric allows to reach your skin. Siroko Climatik cycling arm sleeves provide the highest protection when it comes to sportswear: Only 1\/50th of the UV rays pass through.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to make you feel comfortable and fresh on the hottest summer days, our sleeves are made of <\/span>ultra-lightweight and very elastic fabric, a blend of top-quality nylon and elastane.<\/b> As a result, we have achieved four fundamental features in a pair of summer arm sleeves:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Perfect fit<\/b> making them feel like a second skin, not causing any discomfort.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Excellent breathability <\/b>and sweat evaporation so the body can continue to cool down naturally.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Easily portable<\/b>. They don’t take up any space in jersey pockets in case you want to put them on or take them off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Multi-functional.<\/b> They can be used not only as a full protection against the sun but also on chilly mornings or during long downhill rides.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Are summer cycling arm sleeves useful?<\/b><\/h3>\n
