OriStout Cut Resistant Farmers Sleeves with Thumb Hole, Arm Protectors for Thin Skin and Bruising, for Gardening, Welding, Kitchen, Arm Guards for Biting, Pet Grooming, Grey, 1 Pair

These sleeves are so well made, worth it to wear. Keeps arms and hands safe while trimming brush and bushes. Very comfortable and cool to wear. I hand wash and hang to dry.

I use this for what people wouldn’t expect, ,cat and dog grooming lol. I wear these so I don’t get scratched up when cutting nails and bathing cats! It’s helped my arms a tone! It doesn’t protect you from bites! But many a slight bit when it comes to a smaller cat. I’ve had these for over a 2 years now and I still love them and they look like new! They’re Breathable, comfortable, lightweight, it feels like a cooling towel on your arms so you don’t get hot in them and they’re easy to clean! Mines goes up all the way to my biceps! They have a strap to keep them held in place as well.

I bought these to protect my arms from my puppy's teeth. They work well to avoid scratches, but little teeth can penetrate them easily. They worked ok, but are a little stiff and porous.

These work great however, run big for small women. I purchased these for my sister who is very skinny. Women’s skin gets thinner as we age and our skin cuts and bruises much more easily. They were way too big for her arms. She actually wears one of the pairs on her lower legs for gardening and yard work. She slides her foot through them and her heel goes where the thumb hole is, then she tightens the Velcro strap around her calf. Since the package comes with 2 pairs, I also bought her a package from another brand that has several arm protectors that look like a sock with two open ends. She puts one of the socks on her forearm then puts on the other sleeve with the thumb hole and Velcro strap over it. That way she has double protection and the bigger sleeve fits better. She loves them!

I have two very prickly plants that make it challenging to maintain without constant scratches. I am glad I did my research before buying as I nicked off from my first 2 options based on reviews. Three reasons I picked these: 1. adjustable strap to keep the sleeves up (brilliant!); 2. thumb holes; and 3. material that would not easily tear or catch. The straps do their job. I think going with straps offers more flexibility for sizing vs a silicone/rubber trim, which may aggravate the skin with all the motion from gardening. (The skin of my arm insides is a tender area.) The straps and thumb holes mean I can tackle gardening tasks without constantly adjusting the sleeves. The material is quite thick. I took my favorite utility knife to the sleeves to see how easily they'd catch or tear. I purposefully dragged the edge & tip, and the sleeves held up extremely well. The last swipe I really dug and dragged the tip - and got the tiniest snag. Very happy with the result as my arm was protected whole time. I then tested them on a plant. Dragon fruit thorns grow in one direction so they didn't always catch, but when they did, my arms were completely protected. I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to repotting my dragon fruit, a task I have been putting off. Bonus: at 19", I have full coverage for my arms.

Good fit, doesn’t slide down your arms as you work. I had ordered more expensive “pretty” sleeves but spent so much time pulling them up my arms that I threw them away.

I used these for helping a barn cat adjust to domestic life. These protected me from occasional bites and scratches. They are soft and breathable and still durable.

These gardening sleeves or arm protectors were simply too long for my arms. The fabric is too course or rough for my tender skin.
