I live in Florida. I probably wear the black more in the winter. I did wear the black just the other day. So, yes I will use both colors all year. They seem to keep cool ever when it is hot.

I just read on another site that black was supposed to be better but i am using them in high 80's weather and they actually keep me cool. It is great not having to put suntan lotion on my arms for every bike ride. I lower them to my wrists during the last 15-20 minutes of each ride for a good shot of vitamin D!!!

I have the black ones and I live in Florida, south Florida, and I can assure you that you will NOT feel hot wearing these. If, for example, you are wearing a cotton Hanes T-shirt with short sleeves, these "sleeves" can be worn down to your mid-knckles and go all the way up to your short sleeve t-shirt and then some; and I don't have short arms; I don't have orangutan arms either, but I would say for a female, my arms might be slightly longer than average; I am 5'8" tall, and my arms are may be a little under average in width, but these sleeves will stretch to accommodate, and WILL NOT be uncomfortable or make you feel like the blood has stopped flowing through your arms; once you yank them up high enough, and pull them down to dover the major part of your hand, you won't even feel them; sometimes I have to pull them down further on my knuckles if grasp something, but that is so minor; they are GREAT, and I am extremely picky... Hope this helps...(I have no affiliation with this Company, but wish I did, then I would get their entire line) p.s. white will get dirty, I think, but it will only take a second to try them...But I have only the black ones and wear them every time I go out. And they show no wear. And they only take a second to put on, I don't have much patience for long laborious dressing tasks...

there is no big difference, the sun sleeves are really good/confortable and you won´t notice any difference.

Should be the same. Black works with most color schemes and is more popular.

I have the white version, but inside my white one, the color is a nice beige/pink. The company seems to be good with picking nice color combinations (I own another thing by this company), so I'm inclined to think that whatever colors inside this black one will be done in good taste. :)

I have the white glossy plastic and my parents have the rubbery black. By far, the black is better. IMO, The black finish looks much more sleek and feels higher end when in the hand. Most importantly, the white plastic looks awful now after 3 months of very light use because I've used the included flip drawstring storage bag, which is black, and it left permanent black, smudged "rubbing" marks on the white plastic where the black bag made contact with the white plastic.

It looks "White" to me, but there are sooo many near whites that I am not going to commit myself. What do you use for reference white? Mine could be different!Cheers

What is better is a person preference. The white is a glossy slicker finish. The black one has a grainier grippy finish. I dont know if it is over silver metal plating or not. I own each (one for daughter and one for son).

Yes warm white is a softer shade it generally has a pink/orange hue as to the cool is a blue hue.

I live in the tropics. It's hotter here than where you live. We are on same latitude as the Sahara Desert. This stuff holds on for a long time. And stays black too.

painting recommendations came with the house... differing for various climates... white for hot climates and black for cold climates. I left mine unpainted as my climate is in between.

well I would go with a lighter color like white, aero ,or aviator. Those three would look great with that model.

Cool white and warm when I usually refer to the color temperature of the light. Cool white is blue while warm white is usually a little more toward the orange-ish like incandescent lights.

The black vs the white are 2 different products. They may be the same manufacturer so by appearance, ohter than color, they may be similar. Know that I've purchased 4 of the white and they work great. This, after preferring and purchasing the black and it not working (I returned it). So while white might not be your ideal color choice, it worked better than balck so that's my vote.

Well I personally am a fan of the black and black case since it doesn't look as awkward with the dual colors. Although this is a matter of personal preference.

Color choice is a personal choice and has no effect on performance, tho my choice of black on black looks sleek and clean. I take mine fishing at the pier and all over using it almost daily if not ever other day. It will get hot in the sun but being solid black its only from sun exposure. I solved that with a white cotton cloth covering it up all except the front speaker. Hopethat helps.

From what I can tell the warm white is easier on the eyes than the cool white when used for reading. The cool white is a more "Whiter and blue-ish white". So it really depends on the situation or application.

Do yourself a favor and go for the 4d style. Way nicer. But I have no doubt it would hold up to hot summers. I live in oklahoma and my bike is black and it's great.
