Don't Burn Out

UV Protection with Bauerfeind Sports Compression Sleeves

Spring and summer are most athletes‘ favorite seasons. Sun and warmth provide you with additional energy when it comes to performing best during training. However, as much as the sun benefits you, you should not face it unprotected.

Sun Protection Clothing: Giving Everything during Summer

If you go running, play tennis or basketball, or cycle on a regular basis during spring and summer, you sure know about the risk of getting sunburned during sports. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises to use sun protection clothing even from UV Index 3 which applies April through September to most of the United States. A T-shirt surely helps a bit, but arms and legs still remain exposed.

The good news is that our Bauerfeind Sports Compression Sleeves for arm, upper leg, and lower leg provide you with a UPF of 80 – even in wet or stretched condition. The effectiveness of this sun protection clothing has been tested by the International Test Association for Applied Protection against UV Radiation meeting the requirements of UV Standard 801.
