HOW TO MEASURE HAND GLOVE GAUNTLETS
Measure your hand circumference across your knuckles to determine your hand size.
The average female hand has a 7” circumference across the knuckles, and the male hand is 8.6” across.
Our hand gloves will stretch to accommodate up to 10.5” hand circumference, and the wrist opening stretches up to 9.5" wide which is why we think our gloves will fit most hands.
HOW TO MEASURE ARM SLEEVE GAUNTLETS
Our Arm Sleeve Gauntlets have the same fit range through the hand and wrist as our hand gloves, and stretch to accommodate up to 12.5" forearm circumference. To determine your fit, measure the widest part of your forearm just below the elbow, and the bicep circumference of your upper arm.
We encourage you to select your size range based on if you want a snug or looser fitting arm sleeve!

Our mission
is to help you jumpstart possibility—in the everyday and watershed moments alike—with sun protection that makes it easier to be all in. We do that by adhering to the highest possible standards of design, technical expertise, and craftsmanship.
Raising the bar
Exquisite elegance for every occasion.
Adjustable sun coverage that elevates your wardrobe—for everyday moments, elegant occasions, and everything in between.
Luxurious materials with superior protection.
Soft, breathable fabrics with 50+ UPF that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays—all while keeping you cool and dry.
Thoughtfully crafted by women, for women.
Our prints are all limited edition—and our original designs are handmade by a dedicated, women-led team in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Responsibly and ethically produced.
Made with the help of partners committed to leaving a gentle footprint and to supporting needs of workers and their families. Wherever possible, fabric scraps are upcycled to minimize waste.
The Skinny on Sun Care
It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Sun damage isn’t just accumulated in our youth. More than 75% of sun damage occurs after age 18.
Every day is a sunny day.
Sunshine transcends gray days and seasonal swings: 80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds.
Premature aging isn’t preordained.
Substantial control lies in your hands: 90% of visible aging has been linked to sun exposure.
UPF is the best first line of defense.
Daily SPF helps—but unless you’re reapplying every two hours, you’re not being protected.
As your daily armor, HELIADES helps you jump headfirst into the endless possibilities powered by the sun. With UPF protection that doesn’t fade over time—our apparel offers a quick and easy layer of defense whenever and wherever you need it. Being “all in”—for the everyday and watershed moments alike—has never been easier.
