eddd Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 A while back I got knocked from my bicycle, and my elbow got some nasty scrapes. It has healed, but the new skin is susceptible to new scrapes, and is very sensitive. My motorcycle jackets can irritate the elbow, which always seems to be in contact with the inner sleeve material. A long sleeve cotton shirt helps, but I'm looking for other alternatives for warm to really hot weather riding. This looks to be a possible alternative. Anyone use these? Other suggestions?

Lmar Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I would check Under Armour. They have some mocks that are light weight and very durable. Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I was going to mention that Under Armor tends to be comperably expensive, but then I noticed the 29.99 price and decided not to say anything. It's hard to get a good cotton t-shirt for that price. Link to comment
VinnyR11 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 EMS has a nice selection, fair prices, and their stuff lasts forever. SITE HERE Link to comment
flat_twin Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Instead of long sleeves why not just get a wrap for the problem elbow? Wouldn't that be cooler on a hot day? Link to comment
johnlt Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ed, you might want to consider one of the instand "spray-on" bandages. You can get it at the drug store and it may provide enough protection without being wrapped. I think you can wash it off with just soap and water. Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have no idea whether it'd work or not but, runners have what look to be fairly tight arm warmers of polypro or similar. You might check out the local runners store. Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Try an outdoor provision store like REI or EMS for some blister protection stuff. There's some "second skin" pads that are much better than the old moleskin was. --- Link to comment
scout6 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Wickers makes some great light weight long sleeve shirts. Link to comment

Alan D Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 LD Comfort has shirts and they have just sleeves https://ldcomfort.com/store/dryline-long-sleeve-turtleneck-top.html In really hot weather you can get the shirt or sleeves wet and they help cool you. A little pricey but well worth it. Link to comment

Limecreek Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Ed, I think you'll be happy with a pull on cycling sleeve. They are a summer sleeve made for UV protetion, but should work well for your intended purpose. Arm Coolers Link to comment
