Protective Arm Sleeves

What to Look for When Choosing Protective Arm Sleeves

When choosing protective arm sleeves, consider together which part of the arm needs protection, the material, the length and the specific risk involved. Different working conditions such as cutting, heat or welding may not call for the same type of sleeve.

Short answer: First identify the risk and the area to be protected. Then check the sleeve's material, length and fit, along with any standards and performance values stated by the manufacturer.

Choosing arm sleeves for cut risks

For cut-resistant arm sleeves, do not rely on the material name alone. Where required, verify the product's performance and standards information separately in the manufacturer's technical documentation.

For welding and heat-exposed work

With welding sleeves and similar products, the area covered, the material and the instructions for use all matter. Do not assume a level of heat or flame protection that is not clearly stated in the product description.

Length and comfort

Arm sleeves should cover the area that needs protection sufficiently, without unnecessarily restricting movement during work. Where product measurements are given, compare them with your arm length and how you will use the sleeves.

Consider hand protection as well

If suitable hand protection is needed alongside arm sleeves, compare work gloves according to the risks of the job.
