Thanks. Lots of good items to compare there.Have a look at the packing list on her blog here.
.Have I just missed it? Is my logic flawed?
At that price I'd be taking a different pair for every day of the weekI just bought them on www.aliexpress.com for about US$3 per pair (can take up to 4 weeks for delivery but got mine in 2 weeks). Yup, under US$3 per pair and shipping included.
Cycling sleeves in action ...... on an exquisite sunny morning when it was warming up nicely. Be aware tho' of holding onto too many things - including some of the photographer's belongings so you can have your picture taken next to blue jeans (the reason for the photo) - as you may want to avoid looking like what my son called, "a Swiss Army knife."One month to go and I'm constantly playing with my gear to determine what I should really take on the Frances. My latest thought is to take cycling sleeves for the mornings that are cool enough to need something covering the arms, but when I know that I'll be plenty warm in just a t-shirt a little later in the day. My logic is that I can just pull off the sleeves and stuff them in a pocket and not have to worry about divesting an entire layer of clothing. They're small, light, and also rated for SPF 50 for extremely sunny days. I'm confused that I've not seen any discussion of anything like this on the forum. Have I just missed it? Is my logic flawed?
With respect, this is total rubbish.the sleeves will just be another single use item, and only good for an hour a day or so.
Hi - instead of a fleece jacket I take a fleece vest and fleece sleeves I made myself. Worked great as I had more flexibility. I used them both on the Frances last fall and the Norte/Primativo this spring. My husband uses the cut off legs of women's fleecey tights he bought in Astorga for E3 when the mornings were starting to get pretty chilly! They came this spring too, and he used them both on his arms and on his legs in connection with his shorts. Looked weird, but they got used a lot of days!One month to go and I'm constantly playing with my gear to determine what I should really take on the Frances.

Loved the sleeves!! One of my favorite items. Good warmth, and protection from the sun too.
