Sun Gauntlet Information

Sun Gauntlets are designed for all-day comfort. Just put them on and put sun protection out of your mind.

Intentionally seamless at the upper arm with no binding or banding, they won't cut into your skin or leave an uncomfortable mark — for a look that flatters without creating arm bulge.

Fingerless for freedom of hand movement so you can type, eat, and wash your hands without ever removing them.

The fabric is buttery soft and lightweight with 4-way stretch that moves with you. Taped seams, smooth raw edges, and tag-free construction mean nothing rubs, nothing pinches, nothing distracts.

Available in Sun Glove and Arm Sleeve lengths, sizes S, M, and L, in stylish solids and fashion prints.
Not ours. Heliades fabric is made with titanium dioxide mineral permanently woven into every fiber — not sprayed on as a chemical coating. The sun protection doesn't wash out, fade, or break down over time.

Wash your Sun Gauntlets as often as you like. The sun protection you feel on day one is the same you'll feel year after year.
Sun Gauntlets are machine washable, though we recommend hand washing with mild soap. It's faster and will extend the life of your garment.

If machine washing: place Gauntlets inside a lingerie mesh bag, cold water, delicate cycle.

Hang dry — they dry fast.
No iron. No bleach.

Here's what makes Heliades different.

Not All Sun Gloves Are Created Equal.

Permanent UPF 50+ Protection. Titanium dioxide, the same mineral as sunscreen, is woven into every fiber and won't wash out.

Chemical-Free Fabric. No coatings, no additives, no bad chemicals touching your skin.

OEKO-TEX® Certified Fabric. Independently tested. Free of harmful substances. Safe for sensitive skin.

Built to Last Years, Not Seasons. One smart investment. Daily, reliable, chemical-free sun protection for years.

Handcrafted in California. Designed by a woman, for women. Sewn in small batches in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Looks Good, Feels Good. Sun protection that looks beautiful and feels like butter on your skin. The kind you'll actually reach for every day.
