The UPF 50 is protecting me nicely from the sun. I have been riding in 29°C to 31°C and did not feel hot (it feels as if the sleeves cool you down with the lightest breeze). I knocked off one star because I have only done a couple of 100k rides with it, and I would like to see how the silicone holds up after a few washes and on longer rides. I have version 1 of the arm sleeves for the same reason, and they have been holding up great for over a year now.

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
