Leg Sleeves

I purchased these sleeves more as a sun protection while fishing in a kayak. They add very little weight when wet and the silicon elastic is firm but not overly tight on my legs. They've saved me from sunburn many times when I didn't want to wear full length pants.

My son absolutely loves these! Perfect fit, easy to put on and they stay in place and are super comfortable! My son is 5’11 and 130 lbs

My husband uses these for work to cover his leg tattoo and they work great! They stay on his leg without having to constantly pull up like others see have tried. They don’t last forever, so we’ve bought a few times but for the price we love it!

I read the medium is 15.5" for the circumference of the thigh. My thighs circumference half way up from my knee is 19". Do to reviews saying they slip and run large I ordered medium. Noticing how small they looked out of the package I measured them and without stretching they are exactly 14.5" circumference at the thigh, (1" smaller than I hunted down in the Q&A) Wearing them lower than preferred at 17.5" circumference just above my knee (about 4-5") the sleeve is still much to tight. As for the length they stretch quite a bit however if the material is pulled to thin I can see it effecting the UPF quality. My intention for these is work in the sun here in AZ summer and kayak fishing so sun protection is #1 priority over compression etc. All this being said, I would say they run small, measure your thighs circumference before ordering and consider going up a size based on your plans for use. They are extremely grippy so I would imagine allowing them to stretch 1.5-2" beyond their non stretched circumference should be plenty to keep them up without cutting off the circulation. I'd give 5 stars if the sellers provided better quality control as to not force the consumer to play the guessing game on the product.

The compression on these are great! When I wore these, I felt great after my workout. I didn’t cramp up like I normally do without these. They support my leg muscles and it’s easy to put them on! Overall quality is amazing.

Sizing chart is accurate. I’m 180 lbs, 5’10”. I’m athletic and have muscular legs. The size chart said I was XL. I ordered L and XL. Both fit. Size large is much tighter in the thigh area than XL and for 50 mile plus rides feels a bit tight. XL is more comfortable for longer rides for someone with my physique. Material and build quality are excellent—comparable in quality to the thermal legging sleeves I’ve ordered in the past from some of the major European cycling clothing brands. Since these are UV rather than thermal sleeves, the fabric is of course thinner and the build more simple (i.e., no ankle zippers). I have also found it more difficult to find UV rather than thermal leg sleeves, so am very happy with these.

These stayed up. Were good. I'm 5'9 and 165lbs and got a Large. My thigh where I measured it was like 17 or 18". My primary concern was would they stay up. Bought them for a cycling trip coming up and just was looking for something to wear in the morning when it's still in the 60's before it warms up. These are very light and won't take up much room or weight in the bag. (Note: I don't think it's appropriate for them to call it a "compression sleeve". It's not that at all. It's just something to keep you a little warm, or keep the sun off.)

The good news is that the leg sleeves are very comfortable, and the gripper elastic held them up with no slippage on a 25 mile bike ride with a temps in the 90s. With eyes closed, you'd hardly know that you were wearing anything over your skin at all. However, even with the XL size I wish they were at least 3-4 inches longer. For reference, I'm 5'11", 175 lbs, with long, slim legs. The unstretched ankle openings are a bit larger than optimal, and consequently both sleeves slide about 1/3 of the way up my calf. Other's with different proportions may not have such fit issues, which I solved with some lightweight, matching color crew socks. Sizing aside, I like them and will use these as a regular part of my summer cycling gear. That is, until they wear out and I find another brand.
