Our UPF50+ Sun Gauntlets are made of 4-way stretch fabric and utilize raw edges and taped seam construction techniques to optimize comfort. Sun gloves for hands extend beyond the wrist and are one size fits most. Full length arm sleeves come in Small, Medium, and Large Sizes.
Arm Sleeves
| SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE | |
| Hand | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" |
| Wrist | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" |
| Forearm | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" |

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!

Hand Gloves
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.

With titanium dioxide mineral woven permanently into our premium fabric, your UPF 50+ sun protection won't wash out of your Sun Gauntlets.
