Would I be able to pull these up to cover my upper arm? I want to use them as a PICC line cover.

Yes, definitely !!! I live it to match my clothes besides covering my arms ! It's light fabric but yet strong! I carry it in my purse n another one in my glove compartment in case I forget! Price is reasonable !!'

They tend to roll down when covering anything more than a few inches past the elbow.

As a RN that works in oncology, I would not recommend this. You shouldn't have anything that compresses your arm when you have a PICC line. (We don't take blood pressure readings on the same arm as a PICC line for that reason.) I would definitely check with your MD before you try these.

These sleeves are lightweight and stretchy with limitations. I am 100 lb, 5 feet and they will fit 'comfortably' on my arm but not 'cover' my upper arm. It can only go as high as your armpit, so if that is adequate for your purposes, it could work.

I'm not sure how tall you are (ie., long your arms are), Natasha. I'm fairly tall (5'7") and have long arms. I find that these will just barely make it from my wrist to the standard-length short sleeves of my Pearl-Izumi jersey (mid upper-arm). If however, you don't mind them not reaching to your wrists, you should be able to pull them up all the way to your armpit. Girth could be an issue however. they ARE tapered, widest at the upper-arm portion, and narrowest at the wrist. I don't believe that the average woman could comfortably wear the wrist portion high up the upper-arm. I hope this helps... I'm not sure how tall you are (ie., long your arms are), Natasha.

I think so, if you have a medium build. I don't think the elastic is too strong to prevent that. They're lightweight, so they shouldn't bind too much either. All the best to you!

It should you can draw it pretty tight. I have a friend who is probably about the same size as you and uses a similar armband that works ok for her. Some people have been know to add padding to make the arm thicker.

Cant say for sure as I used my 4 wraps on my midsection (and it worked great btw...I will be repurchasing!) But I think they would work on the arms, id be willing to try. Plus depending on how big the arms are you might be able to cut one wrap in half and double the applications! Give it a shot

Maybe very difficult to pull over your head with them on. may feel very uncomfortable with added pressure due to tight fit. You may want to think about getting a larger size. i don't know how effective the head gear would be going to a bigger size

Yes. If your headphone cord is long enough. I've seen people wear around the wrist. I still think it works better around your upper arm.

Yes you can. They are adjustable arms. You can also take the arms completely off.

That is what I was looking for too. Unfortunately, I am unable to. However, I am a petite female so if you have a bigger forearm you might be able to make it work.

I would not. I'm a large male. They are still pretty long for my wrists. However, the longer they are, the tighter you can wrap them for support. Sometimes they choke the life out of my wrists. I only wrap them super tight before a super heavy set then unwrap them between sets to get the blood going again. Works well for me...the tightness gives me great support where I'm not relying own my wrist muscles as much for heavy weight.

Both shoulder AND upper arm may be difficult at the same time. There is an elastic band with Velcro that u wrap around and attach to hold pad close to the body. However, it is very short so wrapping both at same time may not be possible.

Yes, you can wear them upside down so the logo does not show. As long as they FIT your arms.

These sleeves are the best I have tried. They pull up high to the top of my arm...I have long arms! I tried a cheaper brand and they did not go up nearly as high and they are not as comfortable. I am doing chemo and have a severe reaction to the sun.

They're more of a stronger material so it's very hard to get pulls in them. One would have to try quite hard to accomplish this. I'd suggest ordering 1 size up than what one wiuld normally wear as it doesn't offer much of a stretch.

I would use regular boxing gloves with a wrap for that, don't feel these would be protective enough

Yes they slip down on my bicep and ride up on my wrist. I have kind of a skinny arm though. So a man with muscles might have better luck keeping it in place. I'd recommend getting the sleeve with the thumb hole. Hope this helps!!

My mother's arms are thin therefore there was no problem. Since these gloves are not a compression style glove, I don't see that there would be much of a struggle.

I don't think so. They are a good fit on my hands, and I'm an average size woman with normal hands.

You can! However, I ran into the problem with wrist support with these. The gloves themselves were extremely snug (a size smaller wouldn't have fit at all) but the wrist wrap was still extremely loose. There's only a small amount of velcro and it's not a one size fits all kinda deal. So I wouldn't recommend them. I ended up paying a little extra money for the Everlast gel wraps and they're amazing for just hitting the bag and as a "wrap replacement" under the gloves. If you're doing small sessions they're perfect, for heavy hitting you want the support of a full wrap, that's why we still use em because nothing beats it lol. Hope this helps! You can!
