Let customers speak for us
I adore these sleeves. I have tried several and these really stand out to the point that I'm writing a review about them (rare for me). Firstly, the material feels really luxe. I would say nicer than on photos. Secondly, they're not tight, so they're easy to slip on and off in the car. I use tight ones for tennis, but they're so hard to put on and take off, that I rarely used them for driving. These are my driving sleeves and I really love them. Comfortable, easy to use, and feel really chic on. Thank you!
This is the cutest solution to my sun rash problem i ever came across. I often get rashes on the back of my hands in the summer from too much sun exposure, and this is especially difficult when I have to drive long distance and my left hand is just baking in the sun holding the steering wheel. I have bought many sun sleeves before and they are either ugly or so cheaply made with materials that make me sweaty. These one from Hello Shade are cute, stylish, and the material is quality and the sleeves are well made. I’m very happy with them!
Very comfy and pretty too.
I am 23 and have already started running into sun damage issues :( I met Nicole at and event and she shared with me her story and introduced to me sleeves, I never until my skin cancer scare really considered the sever damage the sun can have, now along with daily sunscreen I use these sleeves on all my drives to keep my arms protected!! honestly SO recommend the black it goes with absolutely everything (especially if you wear a lot of black and neutrals like me hahaha)
I met the wonderful creator of Hello Shade at a lovely little market by happenstance. She was super sweet and informative! I bought my set that night. I got the black ones so they go with all my clothes, including my work uniform. Even though they are black they breathe so well and don't get too hot. A slight breeze across the fabric immediately cools it down. They're relatively easy to put on and adjust by yourself. 100% worth it. Thank you so much!
My new favorite color & sun protecting sleeves. Thank you hello shade!
The sleek look of these sun sleeves, have not only kept my arms safe while driving but elevated my outfits! I truly love these and the pink blush sleeves- thank you for the “shade” you’ve given me!! xx
As a 4x melanoma survivor, sun protection is non-negotiable and these sleeves deliver. The UPF 50+ coverage, cooling fabric, and perfect fit make them my go-to for everyday wear. I love the eco-friendly design and the soft, breathable feel. They stay put, look great, and give me peace of mind in the sun. Fashion meets function what more could you want?
I absolutely love these. I have owned sun protection arm sleeve in the past, but not of this quality, style, and material. These are my new favorite!
I love these!!! Black goes with everything and I drive a lot and am always forgetting sunscreen on the backs of my hands….thank you for this product! And thank you for making it in California :-)
I’m obsessed with my sun sleeve! I wore it to a concert in San Diego, and not only did it protect me from the sun during the day, but it also kept me warm and cozy once the sun went down. It looked so cute with my outfit too—stylish and functional! I love that these sleeves have so many uses. Highly recommend! Plus, Nicole (the owner) is amazing
Loving my shade sleeves! Just in time for summer and saving my skin from sun damage!
I recently started noticing small white spots on my hands and arms from sun damage, and started getting a little worried about what that meant for my skin health. I don’t know how the timing worked out so perfectly, but Hello Shades popped up on my Instagram and it’s been the perfect solution to my problem!
I wear my sleeves when I’m driving, at the farmer’s market, and even when I’m playing pickleball!
The material is super breathable and looks great, can’t recommend these sleeves enough :)
I can’t say enough positive things about this product and not to mention the owner is absolutely amazing! These are perfect for pickleball and driving! I would recommend them to anyone looking for sun protection!
