Protective Arm Sleeves with Thumb Hole

I've been clearing endless, dense brush with loppers and a chainsaw (mostly grey dogwood, prickly ash, honeysuckle, common buckthorns). Between branches and prickers, my arms were all scratched up every time I spent the day clearing, until I started using these; no more scratches! Prevents branches and small prickers from scratching (invasive Multiflora rose, wild blackberry/raspberry, prickly ash tree) but larger thorns (buckthorn trees) can still get through if they hit at a 90 degree angle (but less damaging to my skin with these). I've used them for at least 60 hours, the outer material has fuzzied a little but still just as effective. I highly recommend these for protecting your arms from dense brush and prickers. Perfect for what I bought them for but not perfect in a couple other ways I don't care about. I bought the 9-14 inch size, my biceps are 12 inches when flexed, they're definitely tight but not uncomfortable. The thumb hole lining puts too much pressure at the base of my thumb (cutting off circulation), but I always wear work gloves, so now I pull the sleeves up to the top of my arm so the thumb hole sits at my wrist. After the first wash they turned a washed out black/gray but I don't wear them for fashion so it doesn't matter to me. Your arms will definitely sweat in hot weather with these on... but you're working outside in hot weather, so your body is sweating in general.

Outstanding product. Saved my old arms from many cuts and scratches from plants. Every time I cleaned my yard last year, I use to look like a cat clawed me but not now. Highly recommend and I have already told friends about them. Thank you for a great product.

Pulling up poison ivy & other weeds, I often got a rash no matter how long the pair of gloves I used. So I invented a product similar to this one, out of the legs of a worn-out pair of blue jeans. But I eventually decided, someone must have made a better version of the same thing; this is it. It keeps the poison ivy away. A little warm on a hot day, but not as hot as wearing a long-sleeve shirt, and it gives you better protection than a shirt. Resists thorns too. (They claim it is resistant to cutting, but I haven't got into any knife-fights wearing these yet. Nor have a done any blacksmithing, so can't comment on burn protection). They are tight to get on. Also, not as long as in the illustration. The picture shows the sleeves extending mid-way up the upper arm; mine barely reaches my elbow. My guess is the model was very small, like one of Thorin Oakenshield's men. I recommend getting the larger size. Also, I don't like the red skull logo. It makes you look like you're in some weird cult. But all-in-all, a good product. I'm going to order a long pair, & give the first pair I ordered to a short-armed friend.

Love these protection arm gloves. Got me and husband a pair. Perfect to protect send from bushes, and briars. Wash well and last long long time. Highly recommend for all yard work.

These are comfortable to wear and protect me shainst abrasions while trimming bushes! Great for yard work! Soft and fit perfect!

Reading through the product description, I thought this was all kevlar. But the card included with it says there's also cotton and other. That said, i like the thickness of the weave and it is comfortable. My goal was for automotive use around hot exhaust pipes but that would allow me to still use my bare fingers. It works well but i do feel cheated that I was led to believe this product was mostly kevlar like others.

I have bought several pairs of these because sadly I keep losing them. I volunteer and an animal shelter and these are great helping from accidental scratches. They’re great in the winter because they provide warmth and not too hot in the summer. The material is soft fit perfectly. You can roll them down or push them up.

These are a Godsend to me. I have very thin papery skin so working in the garden is nearly impossible. I come in bleeding. These protect my arms while trimming roses and other bushes. Wish I had them years ago. They are fabulous
