Bellady Women's UPF 50+ Sun Protection Fingerless Gloves - Soft Long Sleeve Arm Warmers for Outdoor Activities, Cycling, Hiking & Driving

I have porphyria, which means even a few minutes of sun exposure is painful and will eventually cause blisters or hives. Before I found these, I would drape a lightweight baby blanket over my upper body while in the car. I wasn’t happy with that, since it looked like I was nursing a baby in the car. And the blanket didn’t help when I got out of the car, while walking to the store or wherever I was headed.Now I wear these sun sleeves whenever I leave the house during the day. They cover my hands to the knuckles, and my arms all the way up to where my shirt’s short sleeves hit. No skin exposed! I’ve had a few people ask if the sleeves are a fashion statement or something else, which gets tiresome, but better to answer annoying questions than to burn and blister in the sun.I love that these are a rayon knit jersey, it means they’re very soft. They only have one seam down the side of the hand and arm.The first few pairs I bought were a lesser quality. The top and bottom edges were raw serged, no proper finishing. It meant there were a lot of loose threads and unraveling seams to deal with. I recently bought another few sets and they are now MUCH higher quality, with properly hemmed edges. The thumb hole is still raw serged, but no issues thus far with threads unraveling or fraying.These really are a game changer for me. I wish they had more colors to coordinate with my wardrobe, but that’s a minor complaint. I usually wear the heather gray, or the light peachy pink, which is fairly close to my skin tone. The light tan is pretty close in color from a distance, too.Note: The dark gray absorbs heat, so in the summer, they get way too hot. I assume black and other very dark colors would be the same. If you’re wearing them for sun protection, stick with the lighter colors.Five stars, highly recommended!
