Drought Shade Arm Covers

A Heat-Shielding Option for Scorching Summer Mountains

When summer heat is intense, managing sun exposure becomes just as important as managing sweat.

The Drought® Shade Arm Covers are designed to help shield your arms from intense summer sun and heat.

Fabric infused with a high concentration of titanium dioxide works like a sun umbrella, helping reduce heat buildup around the arms. The lightweight fabric spreads sweat quickly and promotes fast drying, helping maintain a dry feel even under intense sun.

A wristwatch slit at the cuff allows you to easily check your watch or GPS device without removing the arm covers.

The result is a versatile piece that performs well not only during midsummer hikes but across a wide range of summer outdoor activities.

[Long-Lasting Heat Shielding and UV Protection]

The fabric uses a special yarn containing a high concentration of titanium dioxide, a material known for its heat-shielding properties.

Despite its extremely lightweight construction, the fabric provides *S35-class heat shielding performance comparable to a sun umbrella (JIS L 1951)**, along with UV protection blocking more than 95% of ultraviolet rays.

Because these functions are built directly into the yarn rather than applied as a surface treatment, the performance remains effective even after repeated washing.

*Heat-shielding performance is measured under test conditions. Actual results may vary depending on the environment.

[Spreads Sweat Quickly and Dries Fast]

The ultra-lightweight fabric has excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying performance, allowing sweat to spread quickly across the fabric surface and dry efficiently.

Even during the hottest hours of the day, it helps maintain a dry and comfortable feel while you’re on the move.

[Helps Reduce Visible Sweat Marks]

The fabric is designed to make sweat marks less noticeable.

Fibers containing titanium dioxide scatter light even when wet, helping reduce the appearance of darker sweat patches that often show up on lightweight fabrics.

[Watch Slit and Packability]

A watch slit at the wrist allows you to easily check the screen of your watch or GPS device without removing the arm covers.

They are lightweight and compact, making them easy to stash in a backpack or pocket without taking up much space. This makes it simple to put them on quickly whenever the sun becomes a concern.

[Thoughtful Details]

Slightly longer sleeves help protect your arms from the sun, while the stand collar provides added coverage around the neck. Together, these details offer extra reassurance and comfort during intense midsummer activities.

[Care and Usage Notes]

- To achieve both lightweight comfort and performance, this product uses a delicate knit fabric.
- Repeated friction, hook-and-loop fasteners, branches, or contact with hard objects may damage the fabric.
- Knit fabrics naturally tend to shrink slightly after repeated use and washing.
- Avoid tumble drying, as it may cause significant shrinkage.
