This item ships for free within the USA.
Ladies, we built this top to fit like a second skin while providing protection from harmful UV rays, and a cooling sensation when wet. 2 vertical pockets along the spine hold lightweight essentials (gu, id, cc, key) or sponges/ice from aid stations to provide additional cooling.
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.

Fit Type: Form-fitted

Fit Note: Please do not assume your size is the same as previous years, please use our size chart and if in doubt, email us at: femme@desotosport.com. Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.

Features and Benefits: 

  • Skin Cooler 90™ stretch fabric blocks 90% UVB rays while creating a cooling sensation that actually keeps you cooler.
  • Cooling technology is embedded in the fabric and will NOT wash out, contrast difference to many other "like" products on the market.
  • Two vertical pockets for nutrition gels, ice, or cold sponges commonly available at aid stations in triathlons and long endurance races.
    • Pockets line up along your spine and are designed to help cool your body.
    • The pockets are not designed to carry excessive weight such as water bottles, gel flasks, or any comparable weight.
  • Offset seams eliminate the potential to chafe.
  • This is not a compression garment, yet it is supposed to fit snug, for aerodynamic purposes. Though it is designed to be worn alone and performs best that way, you can wear it over or under any triathlon top, tri suit, cycling jersey, golf shirt, or tennis shirt, and you will actually be cooler!
  • Reflective logos for increased low-light visibility 
  • The top can double as a warm weather base layer. Please note that the cooling feature will not work as well as intended when layered.
  • Designed and created by women.
  • This garment is not designed for repeated use in a chlorinated pool.
  • Made in the USA
  • Size XL and 2X-Large qualifies for our Biggest Winner promotion. Buy this item at full price and if you need to size down within 2 years we’ll give you a 50% discount on a smaller size. Read more here - Biggest Winner 

Read this nice TIP FROM EMILIO: HOW TO QUICKLY PUT ON A SKIN COOLER LONGSLEEVE TOP! (AN EASY WAY TO PUT ON & REMOVE A TRI TOP) 

What makes ours different?  Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm).  Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber and created a synthetic silk.  It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet.  Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation.  Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.

A MEDICAL TESTIM0NIAL:  We received this letter from a respected Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon:

 I am an avid runner and triathlete and I recently discovered your Skin Cooler products, of which I'm a huge fan.  I have been wearing them for a few months now and couldn't be happier.  I am a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon.   Every patient I see is plagued by basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma.  I recommend your products to my active patients on a daily basis.  It allows them to continue their active lifestyle while protecting themselves from the sun. I find your product to be far superior to all other cooling and sun protective lines.  I truly appreciate your efforts and innovations.

Note: No garment should ever be a substitute so we always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose) SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.

Life saver

About 15 ago in my 20s I I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma and have to be careful to never have a sunburn. This shirt has enabled me to continue my active lifestyle without feeling like an old lady while protecting my skin. Another bonus is the skin cooler function. It keeps me cool during hot weather marathons but doesn’t make me feel cold when it’s still chilly before the day gets hot. I wear it all summer long for outdoor activities from gardening, hiking and going to the beach. This shirt has truly improved my summers!

Great top

I have several of these top. They are amazing during long hot bike rides and runs. Protect from sun and getting burned, but also cool because of quick evaporation. During the run the pockets in back can be filled with ice, cooling the body and avoiding wet feet. And they look great!

Long sleeve & cooling that works even in Aruba!

I tried De Soto for my first triathlon after tons of research and easy to say that I'm addicted to the sport and to De Soto! I came back and bought this in the Le Jardin Lily Pad. I'm currently ultra marathon training and knew I would continue training while vacationing in Aruba. The cooling worked even in the Aruba sun!! I paired it with the skin cooling cap and I was good to go!!

Love the Skin Cooler Long Sleeve Top!

I love this product! I live on Maui and train for 1/2 and full Ironmans. I’m fair skinned and also a heavy sweater and the long sleeve top keeps me protected and also cool in Hawaii! I plan to use it on the bike and run in Kona in a few weeks. And it feels so good when you thorw cool water on you sleeves!
