How do these "cool" the arms?

I haven't noticed that they have any sort of cooling effect. It may just be that they have better ventilation than other products, but for me I have found that I do get hot in them from time to time.

You have to push the arms down in a certain order. I believe they have instructions on their website. I won't lie though it isn't easy.

Not that we've noticed. The sleeves are soft enough that the arms still have full range of motion.

It's still a mystery to me! I think they come out like a tripod by compressing the top, but they're not well designed. They also get really hot

I don't notice it with my shorts - honestly. But if I come in from the yard and my arms are wet with sweat, it isn't comfortable to my elbows and forearms. That's just me. I am hot by nature, and honestly haven't felt uncomfortable anywear else

The arms are attached using a few screws. If you dont want the arms, you dont have to screw them on. They can also be unscrewed anytime you want after they are put on.

The arm rests do move in and out a few degrees, it's likely the chair design rather than the armpad as a restiction. These pads are leather replacements for the vinyl ones the chair comes with.

The arms have grip and there is a strap that you wrap around the DID player. I have never had any issue.

I'm very pleased with my sleeves . They stay up real good. With the humidity outside your arms do get quite warm. I'm sure your husband would make good use of them.

The arms are moveable. just grab them and force them apart. If not then, lossen the nut in the plate holding the arm, this will allow it to move.

They are soft so they get re-shaped a bit. I had a few bars stacked up and the did ok. They just get soft in heat.

The under side of each of the arms is held tight with springs. If you pull the undersides towards you, the springs will release the tension and you can lift it out.

They are thin and flexible enough to be a base layer, but this model is not warm. I think Skins makes a thermal model, but I don't know how thin they are.

The bottom arm goes to 180 degrees. The top arm will go to about 150 degrees or so (in relation to the bottom arm). Hope this helps...

They are an elastic like style. I think it would stop snow from going up the sleeve depending on how big your wrists are. I'm a smaller dude so there's a bit of room but nothing crazy. I would think that you'd be wearing gloves on top so wouldn't have to worry about the snow sneaking in there.

I've used elbows at 90 degrees, with forearms parallel to the ground. This has worked well for me.

I think that I bought the large. I also had an issue with them coming down from the top. I did find that pulling more material up from around the wrist reduced the tension pulling down the tops. That helped a lot. There is no question that they do cool the skin. I just bought a pair of Nike sleeves in a different color after finding them on clearance, but I have not used them yet.
