Castelli can officially only rate UPF 50+ Light Arm Skins at UPF 50+, but in their laboratory tests, they actually blocked 99.8 per cent of damaging UV rays. Using a polyester base they found this it is not only more effective than nylon at blocking UV rays but is also much better at keeping you dry, which means these skins are better in both cooler and warmer conditions. Castelli have kept the construction very clean to eliminate seams that can rub, and used double-sided silicone elastic to make sure they stay in place. They fold up extremely small, so they’re great to stick in your pockets for your next big mountain day.

Length Size

What is the actual length of the sleeves? For example L size 54~60 cm. Sizing based on weight is really not helping to choose the correct size.
Asked by: ThatGai
The size guides we have for these items are supplied to us by the manufacturer and will be the most accurate sizing advice we can offer without you physically trying the item on. We would generally recommend opting for the same size you'd wear in a castelli jersey.
