Arm protection

[Snake]

What do you all recommend to wear to keep the sun & heat off my arms ?? My arms get to looking like a over cooked steak! I need something that has some ventilation.

I always use a mesh jacket. Mine's Joe Rocket but there are plenty of others.

for winter sun, i recommend a warm jacket. for spring and fall sun, a ventilated jacket. for summer, a long sleeved t shirt, but watch your neck and face too..
and for those occasional nude rides... sunscreen

 

[Bikerbozo]

The heaviest SPF I can find (vampire grade).

I wear a long sleeve denim shirt or denim jacket. They won't do much if you find yourself sliding down the tarmac, but I find that I actually feel cooler than when I just wear a short sleeve shirt.

 

[pcombe]

a light linen long sleeve shirt.

Im not real big on tee-shirts.

Otherwise heavy duty sunscreen.

Oh, and a for arm protection, a 44 cal. revolver

We wear armored mesh jackets year round w/removable liner.Not what you expect to see on a Harley,never was into the"posing".

I wear long sleeves whenever I ride in the summer. If it's cool outside I wear a leather pistol pete jacket with the pistol installed.

Thanks for all the help !! I think I'll try the long sleeve shirt & go from there . Thanks again !

Summer time I wear Columbia SPF long sleeve shirt. They are well ventilated.

Long sleeve T shirt.
Lots of sun screen on hands, neck and face.
The kind that doesn't let you burn on the surface of the sun.:laugh:

While SHE doesn't sunburn,
I DO:xzqxz:

Long sleeve T-shirts are too hot. Mesh jackets are the only way to go and they offer some protection in case of a get off.
I have a H-D one and a FirstGear one with a zip in rain liner. I do not insert the armour pads because they restrict too much air.

In the warmer weather, I wear a mesh jacket with full armor. The jacket actually feels much cooler than bare arms, and you have the added security in case you come off the trike.

,,,with the majority of my heritage being Cherokee I don't BUT if I did it would have to be mesh with high 90s in the summers here !!

 

[SEABILL]

I also wear workman style gloves. They have a leather palm and fingertips, but the rest is a mesh type material. Can wear them comfortably in temps from around 40 degrees thru the 90's

They are also a lot less expensive.

 

[irmagoo]

I wear off white long sleeve cotton shirt with just a stand up collar no collar tails flapping around beating the sh...t out of me..... i'm light skinned ...so sun screen on ears and nose
magoo

You might want to check these out for size and color. A couple of years ago I got a mesh jacket quite reasonably (cheap) priced.
