Sun Sleeve
2024

A lightweight UPF sun sleeve constructed from a fine ripstop technical fabric. Designed for alpine use, the sleeve attaches at the wrist and runs to the shoulder, providing sun protection without sacrificing breathability or range of motion. Documented from initial pattern drafting through to field testing in the mountains.
