I bought these last week and wore them for the first time on a ride on Saturday morning. It was about 60 degrees out and these were perfect. As the temperature rose and I got warmer I was able to pull them down to my wrist and then eventually take them off and they fit in one of the pockets in my jersey very easily.I am a woman and have 6.5 in wrists and 10.5 in biceps and I am 5'4". I ordered small warmers and they fit perfectly. They are very attractive and will be a regular part of my early morning rides.

I wanted to write this review on these arm warmers just so that other people thinking of buying them would have some kind of size reference to go by. I am a girl riding a road bike in urban conditions and purchased these warmers in both medium and large to see which fit better. I ended up returning both because they were just too small.I have an upper arm circumference of 13" and the large was too small. I consider the warmer too small when my circulation is getting cut off which it was with a large. The warmers don't come in XL.
Honest reviews on Pearl Izumi Thermal Lite Arm Warmer
These are the first arm sleeves I've ever had, so I can't really comment on their quality in relation to other brands.What I wanted from armsleeves was the following;
1. Sun protection. I wear these while riding and was hoping they'd work in place of the sunscreen I usually slather myself with before leaving the house. As it turns out, the initial cost of these armsleeves paid for themselves within a month since I didn't have to fork over the $14.99 I usually pay for unscented, sunscreen. Sweet.
2. Stay on the arms I was a bit worried these wouldn't stay up, that they'd puddle around my wrists the same way my thigh high stockings do, but they stayed on with minimal adjustments.
3. Itchyness I have a super low tolerance for scratchy fabrics. With my dry skin and psoriasis, scratchy-itchy outbreaks seem to happen often, but these arm warmers weren't too bad, even on a hot day when I got sweaty, I didn't feel itchy until after I removed them.
4. Machine washable I planned to put these arm warmers into my mesh delicates bag for washing but I forgot. They ended up in a load of towels and other whites and were washed with BLEACH! Oops. But they were totally fine! Possibly because I use a minimal amount of bleach and always wash with cold water, whatever, these are some durable arm sleeves.
Now for the downsides;
1. The spandex band on the top of the armsleeve kinda digs into the delicate skin on the upper, inner part of my arm after exercising and working up a sweat. After an hour of wearing these, I could feel it, like a nagging itch I couldn't quite reach. After two hours, I was really looking forward to removing the arm sleeves. After three hours, I ripped them off and stuffed them into my bag with a relieved smile.
2. They are sorta ugly. I got the black with a muted dark grey design and they have a kinda compression sock look about them. But function over fashion, right? No nasty sunspots or melanomas on the arms beats a tan any day!
