Q36.5 Dottore Pro UV Arm Protectors Info

The Q36.5 Dottore Pro UV Arm Protectors are slip-on cycling arm sleeves made from UF Pinstripe PRO, a fabric Q36.5 weaves with silver threads. Q36.5 says the silver adds ventilation, thermoregulation and fast drying. The sleeves are described as calibrated for wind blocking, light thermal protection and fast wicking, and they are listed as a warm-weather piece, not a winter one.

Q36.5 positions them for rides that start early in the day or finish late in the evening, when the air is cool but a full long sleeve jersey would be too much. Arm sleeves like these let you start a ride covered and take the sleeves off and stash them in a pocket as the temperature rises. They also carry a 50+ SBF rating that Q36.5 cites for protection against UV exposure, which makes them useful on long sunny rides too.

The sleeves are sized by height. Q36.5 lists three sizes: XS/S for riders roughly 150 to 175 cm, M/L for 175 to 185 cm, and XL/2XL for riders over 185 cm. RA Cycles offers them in black, Ice Grey, Optic White, Poppy Orange, Forest Green, Grisaille Blue and Drab Green.

For riders who want one lightweight layer to cover the swing between a cool start and a warm finish, they are a compact option that takes up almost no room in a jersey pocket.

The RA Perspective

These are an easy piece to underrate. A pair of arm protectors does not look like much, but the Dottore Pro UV sleeves handle one specific problem well: the ride that starts cool and ends warm, or the reverse. Q36.5 describes them as calibrated for wind blocking, light thermal protection and fast wicking, and says they suit rides that leave early or come back in the evening.

The UF Pinstripe PRO fabric is woven with silver thread, which Q36.5 says helps ventilation, temperature regulation and drying speed. Q36.5 also cites a 50+ SBF rating for UV protection, so they do double duty on a long sunny ride.

The tradeoffs are simple. These are warm-weather sleeves with light thermal protection, so on a properly cold morning you will want a long sleeve jersey, not just these. Q36.5 lists them as not water resistant, so they are not rain gear. We also could not find a listed gripper or seam detail, so if you are between sizes, use the height chart and ask us if you are unsure.

We would reach for them on spring and fall group rides, and on summer rides that begin before sunrise.
