Noticed some triathletes wearing arm sleeves when racing in both the pro and amateur ranks but not sure why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the words below, we\u2019ll explain the benefits of wearing them, plus highlight some of the top choices on the market right now, with picks based on in-depth research and analysis of user reviews.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of wearing arm sleeves?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arm sleeves have several benefits depending on the conditions you are racing and training in. Firstly, they reduce drag and make your arms more aero, this is especially beneficial when you are using the tri bars<\/a><\/strong> in an aero position on the bike, or if you have particularly hairy arms!<\/p>\n

Other than this, arm sleeves often have compressive qualities and their coverage can help to keep an athlete warm on the bike and run in cold conditions, as well as keep them cool in hot conditions by protecting from harmful UV rays (check your sleeves specs to ensure the material has sun protection properties).<\/p>\n

At first look, sleeves may seem a rather superfluous addition to your triathlon kit checklist, but they are actually extremely versatile and useful pieces of gear when used correctly to optimise your performance and comfort.<\/p>\n
