I bought these to use while gardening and have already purchased a second pair. As noted in some of the other reviews they are a bit warm to wear, but they provide a level of protection from cuts and scrapes that you can't get from the thinner, lighter-weight ones. They're long enough to cover your entire arm and the band at the top works well to keep them from sliding down. My arm measures 12" at the top and the medium size fits just right and doesn't feel tight.
I wanted these sleeves to protect my arms when gardening, trimming plants, bushes, etc... I've used them once and they did a great job preventing my arms from scratches and bruises. I have long thin arms and the size small fits well. My suggestion to the company is to give more precise measurements so buyers can know what size to purchase.
I bought these for working on a full time tree crew this summer. I appreciated these sleeves for protection from being scratched by trees, and the added safety from the occasional wild pruning hand saw. Many tree workers wear long sleeves under their company TEE. Over 100F ambient, the double torso coverage seemed too darn hot. For less cost than a wicking long sleeve shirt, I purchased these, and loved them. In the hot truck, you can roll them down to your wrists, then pull them back up at the next work site. I am 5'11" 170lb, medium build and the Large fits well under the company TEE shirt.
I use these sleeves when I pick blackberries, and I love them. They keep my arms from being scratched. They're comfortable, with the right amount of elasticity and a "sticky" band at each end to keep the sleeve from falling down. I like selecting my own gloves for my hands when I am working in the garden, and these sleeves are the perfect addition.
Even the small size was too big for my arms and would slide down throughout the work day, which was problematic since I was using them to hide my tattoos. After sewing them, they worked well and never moved even throughout the work day. If you need them to stay in place, get a size down. They are stretchy and durable and a size down would help them stay in place better.

Description
Introducing the Superior TenActiv Cut Resistant Sleeves.
These protective arm sleeves are made from our TenActic yarn, which is a high-performance filament fiber that is lint-free and five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.

The cut sleeves feature an improved sewing technique at the bicep elastic that renders the seam virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to work more comfortably. The tapered knit fit is combined with our STAYz-UP technology is an elastic bicep band with polymer dots that essentially eliminates any sliding or slipping of the sleeves. This updated STAYz-UP sleeve technology is sewn in our newly developed SMART-TENSION machine, giving the elastic armband twice the stretch and recovery of our last generation sleeves. These cut-resistant sleeves offer the best in cut protection combined with comfort, for all-day wearability and will last longer than traditional sleeves on the market.
Available Sleeve Sizes: XS, S, M, L, and X-Large.
My husband is a postal carrier and was being " attacked" by NBU boxes (cluster mail boxes) which have little hooks and sharp edges. These sleeves have returned his arm skin to normal. No more bloody scratches or worry about tetanus infections. Worth the price!
The gloves work terrific. My husband likes the length and that the don’t roll down the arm, they stay in place. It’s very important he doesn’t get cut or scratched while on blood thinners.
The steel mill I work in made it where we truck drivers could no longer wear short sleeve shirts. These sleeves were the perfect option. I can put them on quilted in the building loading and just slip then off when I'm done. They do make your arms a little sweaty, but the breathable fabric has a cooling feel as long as there is air movement. Really like the band at the top that holds them up so I'm not constantly pulling them up. Will definitely buy them again when these ones wear out.
I pick this style because I don't like the one with thumb holes because my palm may sweat during working, so I rather wear a pair of breathable gloves that can protect my fingers as well because these arm protection sleeves don't cover fingers. I will definitely use it big time when holiday season comes that I need to decorate my Christmas tree. I always got some scratches on my arms and fingers when dealing with tree branches, now with gloves and arm sleeve protection, not afraid of bleeding caused by scratches any more. Bought these arm sleeves to protect my shirt sleeves, I think it's worth it. And sometimes I wear short sleeves at home, just need that protection on the arms, and this is just want I need.
I bought these for my 86 year old father who has been falling lately and his skin is so easily torn that he has suffered several shallow but large cuts on his arms and wrists. He said these sleeves are very comfortable - I had bought another type that he didn't like because too tight - so I'm hoping he will actually wear these! The soft gray color goes well under his long sleeve shirts and they seem like they will be easy to wash. I'm thinking about ordering me a set to use when working in the yard.
