Arm sleeve fit, care and sun protection FAQs
Practical answers about pairs, fit, care, the test scope and ordering.
How many sleeves are in a pair?
One pair contains two sleeves. Choose the number of pairs before choosing colours.
What was independently tested?
The 18 May 2015 ARPANSA report classified a Black Aqua-x Spandex UV Sleeves sample as UPF 50+. The result applies to that sample, not every colour or production run. Read the published test details and scope (PDF, opens in a new tab).
Will they fit me?
One size fits all adults. Follow the supplied fitting instructions. Smooth the fabric without overstretching it, and stop if the sleeve feels uncomfortable. Contact IceRays if you would like help.
Which colours can I buy?
Black is an available IceRays colour. Use the named photo tiles in the builder for the current options and stock in your market. Choose from the actual variants shown; availability can change.
Can I mix colours?
Select Mix colours in the builder, then use the plus and minus controls beside each named colour. The remaining-pairs count tells you what still needs choosing.
How does cooling feel?
Moisture evaporation can feel cool. Conditions, moisture and movement affect the experience. No temperature reduction or protection from heat illness is promised.
Do sleeves replace the rest of sun protection?
No. Use shade, suitable clothing, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen on exposed skin as part of your sun protection routine. A sleeve is not a guarantee about health outcomes.
How should I care for them?
Follow the label supplied with your sleeves. The current returns policy recommends hand washing in cool water with mild soap and drying flat in the shade. Inspect for wear or damage; the 2015 report does not establish lifetime protection.
Can they protect against thorns or sharp tools?
No. These are lightweight sleeves, not cut-resistant or injury-prevention equipment. Choose task-appropriate protective equipment.
How much is shipping?
Free standard shipping applies from AUD 100 in Australia and USD 90 in the United States. Checkout confirms shipping availability, options and costs for your address. Canadian shipping is confirmed at checkout. Read the shipping policy for other delivery terms.
What are the change-of-mind return conditions?
Request a return within 30 days of receipt. Items must be unworn and unused, with tags, original packaging and proof of purchase. Contact IceRays first; return postage conditions are in the refund policy.
