Like arm warmers, but white or patterned treated spandex, with massive sweat wicking. I actually felt cooler with them on than without. The capper (and what makes this relevant to the quote)
SPF 30 that you don't have to reapply.
You still have to take care of face, neck & ears, but not having to worry about frying my arms helps.
