Product Data

Road: Yes

Castelli can officially only rate these warmers at UPF 50+, but in their laboratory tests they actually blocked 99.8 percent 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 small, so they’re great to stick in your pockets for your next big mountain day.

Castelli UPF 50+ Light Leg Skins is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Deco from Bought these in white last year, now buying black Very light, perfect for hot days. Bought them to avoid sun cream on my legs and to protect from bugs. They work very well. Only problem is keeping them clean. Followed the washing instructions carefully. But never worked. They always looked soiled. Herself put them in a machine wash at a higher temperature last week and it helped, but they do not look clean. Now going to buy them in black.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Todge1 from White not black! I have developed an allergy to sun/UVA/heat! not ideal being a cyclist in the Luberon, Provence. So I needed good cover that was light, breathable and UVA tight. Riding in temperatures often in the mid 30 degrees centigrade so far these are perfect. Absorb sweat, I am not too hot and helping with the skin. Fit well on the legs. Have to be washed each time wearing - hope they last!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Andra93 from Great Product Great fit, good quality and sleek design. I like these, I ordered a size M and I am 163cm tall, with an inseam of 77cm and 54.5cm around my quads. A medium fits perfectly for me, not too tight. The material is lightweight and you can see through it. So don't get these for warmth, they were made for summer. I got these to avoid ugly tan lines and sticky cream, and they are great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Janna17 from Very useful product I bought these as I have problem skin and can't always tolerate sun cream. I wore them for the first time today and they were comfortable and didn't slip at all. They can easily be taken off if wanted and they fold up very small. They're made from the fine, lightweight material that summer jerseys are made from. They've got zips to the ankle at the back and silicon grips around the top.
