SKIN COOLER LONG SLEEVE TOP*

Skin cooler top

This is not my first skin cooler purchase. People look at me funny when I’m wearing long sleeves and sometimes legs on a hot day. I don’t care because it’s like riding in air conditioned comfort and it blocks those harmful rays. Great product!

I have tried and tried, but it's not worth it

I had the old version of this and the wings, the all white ones with the waffle-like fabric and love them both. The shirt got a hole in the elbow so I replaced it with the "new" and "better" version. I only wear these shirts when it's extra hot, so it's only periodic. I switch around between the old wings and shirt with the waffle fabric and this new one. Every time I wear the new one I feel like it's doing nothing more than any other skin tight thin shirt would do against my skin. Only when there is a legit breeze do I feel any cooling effect. However, with the old one, the swinging motion of my arms generates enough "breeze" to effectively cool even though the air was "still." It's been almost two years (time flies!) and I've tried and tried to like this, rotating between old and new, but I am finally giving up and submitting this review.

Love the skin cooler for workouts or for long days in the sun!

Buy 3 of these, today

I'm currently training for my 8th Ironman. The miles are started to rack up and the temperature is only getting hotter. I took a chance on the long sleeve skin cooler shirt and tried it out today. I live in a place where it's already over 90° in May, so I was really hoping this did the trick. Let me tell you this... It was 91° in the sun just now for my run, and my numbers usually fall off a cliff when it's that hot out. I just ran like it was in the low 70's and fell fantastic afterwards, when I'm usually totally drained from getting beaten down by the sun. I got home and immediately shared my experience to a few runner friends of mine, then ordered another one for myself. If you suffer when running in the heat, this is 100% for you. It's like a cheat code for summer running.

Amazing top kept me both warm and cool

It was a cold windy day. while waiting 30 minutes to start the race the top kept me warm, and once the race started and i was sweating, the top kept me cool. I don't normally wear sleeves but this will be a new base layer for me in the cold New England winter. and cooler half marathons that i have coming up.

My favorite jersey

This jersey is awesome. Never had anything this comfortable and adoptable temperature wise. Three pockets are excellent when I carry a lot of food. And the design is finally a change from the boring standard designs. And I hate zippers - having no zippers is such a big plus. And it’s actually long enough and doesn’t ride up all the time.

Perfect for hot weather and sun

Ideal garment for hot weather racing and training as well as protection from blazing sun. Lightweight. Breathable. Stylish.

Good sun protection, good fit, very durable

I’m 6’ 3”, 190#’s with long arms and the large fits perfectly. I abused my skin when I was a teenager and am trying to limit further damage now. This top works great for cycling in the hot Florida sun. I’ve worn it many dozens of times and it’s still in very good shape. I like it enough to have purchased a second one FWIW. I don’t find it as cool as a regular short sleeved cycling jersey with the zipper down….but 90 degrees and high humidity is a pretty severe test for any long sleeved top. If the fabric was overall lighter and some mesh on the insides of the arms it might be a bit cooler but not really sure what goes in to making something like this. Overall it’s the best option I’ve found and my go-to all spring/summer/and fall. For the performance, full retail seems like a pretty decent deal as far as value too.

Skin cooler does actually make me feel cooler!!!

Live in Texas so I thought this shirt might make my hot summer rides a little more bearable. Pleasantly surprised that it has. Next time they're on sale I'll buy a couple more.

Thoughtful design

Best purchase hands down I did a 24 hour ride. I didn’t catch any sun with the great sleeves. The 3 pockets were perfect for cooling ice bags. Big enough for a phone on other rides. It runs fresh and not hot and sticky like some other materials.

Perfect summer base layer

Cooling fabric works well for cycling. After several decades, my arms have seen enough sun for one lifetime.

Skin cooler long sleeve top

Great top for warm Florida runs. It does what it says. Once you start to sweat , it cools you.

Skin cooler top

Works as advertised. I use this during hot / sunny days and it helps to keep you cool while providing protection from the sun. Used this top during IM Maryland, nice not having to worry about sunscreen on arms / back. Long enough to cover the lower back unlike many other tri tops. Excellent quality.
