As my mother aged, she became increasingly susceptible to bruising, bandaged bleeding scraps and blood blisters on her arms caused by the most minor scraping of her skin, or tiniest thorn punctures from one of her many rose bushes. Now retired, the same condition has come upon me and appears to be progressively becoming worse as I age, as it it did with Mom. A recent urgent water heater replacement required the renovation of the dedicated closet housing the unit, resulting in both of my arms and hands covered by large bandages protecting big bleeding scrapes, and not bandaged dark blood blisters/bruises covering all areas of both arms. When I'd find blood on a glove or shirt, I wouldn't know what I'd done to cause the new scrape or cut. Long sleeve cotton shirts didn't provide enough protection, just soaked up blood, so I changed back into short-sleeve T's.Today was the first wearing of my new OriStout Kevlar Protective Sleeves while working with ladders and equipment on the house, and today is the first day doing this kind of work that I haven't pulled out the fishing box re-dedicated to first aid! No new bruises, blood blisters or cuts on either arm, and there were plenty of strikes, scraping, and banging of arms and elbows just moving myself, materials and tools up and down ladders.I'm astounded by how well these sleeves protected my arms. The morning was hot from the start and it became hotter, but I didn't notice that my arms were sweating until the sleeves were pulled off when taking a break. They are very comfortable, and stayed in place on my arms. The sleeves on my T-Shirt covered the velcro band at the top of the sleeve, that's how long they are, and I'm 6' tall.My experience today tells me these are a 10!! for me, and I'd encourage you to try out a pair if you suffer from the same ageing affliction that I do, and that Mom did.

fits snug on my arm which is average size, have washed several times ok. used to keep sun off my left arm in sunny FLA>It also offers protection in my repair work. Appears to be of good quality and I use it hard

These offer good protection for yard work, such as pruning hedges and shrubs or clearing out brush. The Velcro adjustment at the biceps is clever and it provides a good fit so that the sleeve will not roll down.BY THE WAY, THE PHOTO IS MISLEADING AND I AM SURPRISED AMAZON HAS NOT REMOVED IT. It shows a knife blade cutting across a sleeve. What a joke! That's why I didn't give a 5-star rating. Do NOT expect that type of protection. It will protect against branches on shrubs, hedges, etc, for example.

The work very well protecting my fragile forearm skin from tears and bruises

Really works well, especially if you're on blood thinner, no scratches.

These sleeves are definitely cactus proof! They are durable and they stay in place.

The material was too thick and too long for me. I returned.

Blood thinners cause bruising. I use these in the yard when pruning and hauling off brush.They are cool in the summer and very comfortable. I have skinny arm for a 6' 190# senior.They fit good.I like the Velcro. It hold up well and secure the upper arm.I like the thumb grip. It fits fine in my gloves so I'm covered up when I need protection.Repeat buyer.
