Sparthos Compression Sleeve for Arm - Arm Sleeve for Women, Men - Black-M

I love this sleeve, actually a pair, that look just like the picture and fit very snugly, as desired. If you have an arm that is slimmer in the bicep, you will like these as they are perhaps snugger than others I have tried, which did not cling well. The sleeve is also plenty long; great value for money and durable for sure.

Other sleeves I've tried lacked the right amount of compression. This one is just right. Forearm size is 10 inches so I got the small. Perfect fit. It is very long or my arm is short.

I am a big fan of so-called compression sleeves and have many various brands made from different fabrics. Most I wouldn't consider very helpful for some of my major past-times - weightlifting and trekking in the wild. While most compression sleeves provide some level of support and protection, one really needs to align the type of compression sleeve being used to the activity just as one would socks, shoes or boots. When people think of weightlifting or exercising with weights, they think of men. Well guess what, there are a lot of female lifters out there as well and our numbers are growing. And just like men need products that can stand up to repetitive and heavy use, women do as well. And quite frankly while many of us gals may enjoy many of the same activities as men, we do tend to be a bit more concerned with protecting our bodies and these do a pretty good job of protecting the arms. For me, these work pretty well and I find them comfortable enough for the activities I do. They protect my arms from bumps, bruises, cuts and scratches and work pretty well keeping my arms supported throughout whatever activity I may be doing. Now this doesn't mean they take the place of wrist straps and such if you're doing very heavy lifts. For instance, I have pretty small wrist and these compression sleeves are pretty much worthless when it comes to adding stability to my wrists, but in those instances I just accessorize my sleeves with Schiek wrist straps which are a great accessory for any serious lifter. As I already partially mentioned these are not as tight as I might like on my wrist and upper arms, but they do a decent job at supporting and protecting my arms. I wear extra small as they seem to provide me with optimum compression and flexibility throughout my workouts. The Sparthos sizing chart is so-so in my opinion as there is always going to be some variability in sizing different portions of one's arm and the quality control on these products is not the best. It's important to watch out for manufacturing variability in the sizing. The size of the sleeves can be inconsistent one order from the next which can be a bit of a pain as you'll need to go through the process of returning and reordering and hoping you receive a product more accurate in the sizing. I have ordered the exact same size sleeves at times and found them to be much larger than the size I purchased previously. While these compression arm sleeves do protect my arms to a good extent when exercising, they are great boon to me when I'm doing another of my favorite pastimes - trekking in the wild. This is where I think they really standout. Not only do they provide your arms with support, but also with protection from all sorts of nasties like potential cuts, scratches and bruises. I can't tell you how many times I was glad I was wearing these. While these compression sleeves will give out after several months of hard use and sweat, they hold up pretty well, as least in my case. Mine get a lot of wear and tear and probably last anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on what they are put through. Sweat seems to break down the fabric after a while, so mine don't last as long during warmer weather. My experience is that the upper compression gives out first and almost dramatically so. Having your compression sleeves sliding down your upper arms gets really annoying pretty quick. For now, until I find something better, these arm sleeves definitely have a place in my activities. BTW - I am on my 5th pair ;-).

This tension sleeve is the best! I've got a very sore arm from repetitive use and work and it's gotten so bad I have to wear this daily and it helps. I love appearance of it I ordered pink but it's more orange. I don't worry about sun protection because I'm not outside. Great value for my money, very lightweight and easy to use. It protects my sore muscles and without it I can tell the difference.

I'm giving this a 3 star review because it Doesn't not fit. I ordered the size it says to according to the size dimensions but still to big. Wish they had it in smaller sizes. If they did it would probably be great. The quality of it seems good!

Yes, they work fine. I bought both both pink and blue. I don't have any joint issues, but need the protection from rose thorns in the garden and heavy storm doors. I'm mainly here to give you a hint on sizing. I'm 5'2" and weight 120 lbs. I don't lift weights and don't have bulky muscles, so let's say I'm pretty average. I ordered the XS. The sleeve runs from wrist to upper arm, so is definitely long enough. There isn't much compression, but it's a nice snug fit all the way up except for some minor looseness at the very top edge. They are high comfort. I forget I have them on and could wear them 24/7 if I needed to. I'm sure they are a good sun block and I'm already thinking they will be good arm warmers when it gets cold. A good buy all the way around for me.

I loved these sleeves so much that I purchased two extra items from this brand. Nothing negative to say so far, can't wait for the rest of the products to arrive!!! The design and color are nice, they feel like they're part of my skin. The fabric is not itchy and it's surprisingly breathable. They helped me with my soreness in just a few hours of using them, and I think they're going to be a great support for my Aerial Activities. My measurements were in between two sizes, so I ordered the smaller option (XS) instead of a size up (S) as recommended since I figure that they will stretch eventually. I'm 5'2", weight 139 pounds, and my elbow circumference is 10". **Update: These sleeves give me great support, and helped me not to be super sore the next day after certain workouts. I hand-wash them after each use and they dry quickly.

I use for compression sometimes and others just to hold my topical pain patch in place. Works for both and stays in place without any fuss.

Great

Bought the blue arm support as 1/4 the price of other colors. Feels great on my arm and only take it off when I go to bed LOVE IT

مفعوله بالتعرف انه جيد

The product arrived and was too big. I decided to return it and get a smaller size .What happened next was a real surprise . The seller told me to keep the product and they would give me a full refund and send me the right size. I was happy to get the refund but I decided to pay for the replacement because the seller went beyond my expectation The product works well It very good quality the size that most people use would be the medium , the large would for someone with bulging muscles

It has been great. Very supportive while playing tennis. Would definitely recommend it to my friends
