Why IceRays

Cooling sun protective arm sleeves that actually keep you cooler.

Sunscreen wears off. Long sleeves can feel hot. IceRays gives your arms UPF 50+ coverage in a lightweight cooling sleeve.

Independent fabric test

A Black Aqua-x Spandex sleeve sample achieved a UPF 50+ classification in a 2015 independent test. View the report for its full scope.

Moisture-activated cooling

The fabric works with your skin's natural moisture to pull heat away from your arms. Wet them down on a scorcher and feel the difference within seconds.

On in seconds

No reapplying every two hours, no grease on your grip. Slip them on before the round, the ride or the garden and forget about them.

Stays put, no slip

Lightweight four-way stretch hugs from bicep to wrist without squeezing, and stays up swing after swing. One size fits most adults and teens.

Built for the harshest sun

Designed for the world's harshest sun by a family business that has been protecting outdoor workers and sportspeople since 2010.

Wash and repeat

The UPF 50+ protection is woven into the fabric itself, not sprayed on - so it doesn't wash out. Machine wash cold, line dry, head back outside.

Bare Arms vs IceRays

What your arms endure without them.

Every hour outside is a choice. Here is the difference a ten-second slip-on makes.

Bare arms in the sun

  • Full UVA and UVB exposure on your most-forgotten skin
  • Sunscreen sweats off and needs reapplying every two hours
  • Skin heats up - you fatigue faster in the heat
  • Greasy hands ruin your grip on club, tools or bars
  • Sunburn, peeling and long-term sun damage

Arms in IceRays

  • UPF 50+ arm coverage while worn
  • No reapplication on covered skin
  • Cooling fabric supports evaporation
  • Dry hands and a clean grip
  • Reusable and easy to pack

Worn hard. Rated highly.

From the first tee to the back paddock - here is what IceRays wearers tell us.

★★★★★

"I play 18 holes twice a week in Queensland and used to come home with burnt forearms every time. With these on I don't even think about it - and my arms genuinely feel cooler than without them."
Greg M., QLDClub golfer Verified buyer

★★★★★

"Bought the twin pack for gardening. They stay up, wash well and feel comfortable through a long afternoon outside."
Helen T., NSWGardener Verified buyer

★★★★★

"On the tools all day in summer. Sunscreen was a losing battle - these go on at 6am and that's it. Got the four pack so there's always a clean pair in the ute."
Dave R., WACarpenter Verified buyer

★★★★★

"Sceptical about the cooling claim until I wet them down on a 38-degree day at the cricket. Honest difference. Wish I'd bought them years ago."
Peter S., VICCricket tragic Verified buyer

★★★★★

"I have very fair skin and wanted more arm coverage for my morning walks. These feel comfortable without overheating, and the beige looks neat too."
Margaret W., SAWalker Verified buyer

★★★★★

"Ordered a single pair to test, went back for the four pack a week later. One size fit both me and my teenage son. Fast shipping to regional NSW as well."
Karen B., NSWHiking family Verified buyer

Before You Buy

Questions, answered.

Everything people want to know before their first pair. Still unsure? Every order is covered by 30-day returns.

Yes. The fabric is moisture-activated: as you perspire (or if you wet the sleeves down), the weave accelerates evaporation across your arm, which draws heat away faster than uncovered skin. Try the wet test on a hot day - you'll feel the difference within seconds.

A Black Aqua-x Spandex UV Sleeves sample achieved a UPF 50+ classification in an independent test completed in 2015. The report supports that specific sample; it is not a government endorsement or a blanket approval of every colour or production run. View the test details and scope.

One size fits most adults and teens. The lightweight four-way stretch hugs from upper arm to wrist without feeling like compression gear, and stays in place through a full round of golf, a shift on the tools or a day in the garden.

Machine wash cold and line dry. Follow the supplied care instructions and replace sleeves that are damaged, excessively stretched or worn.

Use IceRays as part of a complete sun-protection routine. Keep applying sunscreen to exposed skin such as your hands, face and neck, and seek shade when possible.
