Just curious - I have them, but haven't worn them yet.
Nope and nope.

Cheapo lightweight-long sleeve synthetic base layer off Amazon....I can get two for the cost of one set of sunsleeves from PI or Bontrager or elsewhere. Does the same exact things just as well (keeping UVA off) or better (staying put and not rolling down), for less. Also, I've found as UV has gone up over the years--2 years ago I started tanning through my cycling jerseys, creating bib-strap tan on my back....which is no bueno. Started always wearing them when riding in summer sun to stop that crap.

Legs are Voler knee warmers. Was a bit chilly that morning....also have a cheap pair of leg coolers for summer use (not pictured). It is so disgustingly hot and humid here come high summer that sweat doesn't evaporate anyway, and sunscreen just sweats off in no time nevermind becoming human fly/gnat-paper...so the extra lightweight layer doesn't make me any more uncomfortable than I am anyway.
