De Soto Skin Cooler Long Sleeve Running Top - Women's

The 3 vertical pockets of the De Soto Skin Cooler Long Sleeve Running Top for women might not make sense to someone who has not endured an Ironman distance or half Ironman distance in very hot weather. However, the pockets line up along your spine designed to help your body cool. The Long Sleeved Skin Cooler top is great for aid station ice, sponges, or for carrying gel packets. You might be used to only using the lower pocket of your current jersey, but you will quickly find the upper pocket to be great for carrying sunglasses, a cell phone or your mp3 player. The center pocket may require the help of the aid station or a bit more flexibility on the part of the wearer.

Do not be deceived. Simply because a garment is white does not make it Skin Cooler™! It is time to redefine and make clear what makes Skin Cooler™ so unique. Since 2004, when De Soto invented Arm Coolers, they have been telling this story, but in different words. While the rest of the world has been trying to wick moisture away from your body, De Soto has not. THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU WET like a tropical rain on a hot sunny afternoon, like the sprinklers on your lawn when you were a child, like the cool misty sea spray of a wave on warm San Diego day at the beach. Skin Cooler™ fabrics are designed by De Soto to cool you in hot weather.

As you sweat, the special moisture-radiating composition actually offers a cooling effect by dissipating the moisture through channels to the outside of the fabric and just the slightest breeze will cool you down. The fabric will be wet, yet you will be cool.

Skin Cooler™ fabrics block 75% of UVB rays (the burning rays), about as much as a cotton t-shirt or a bike jersey. De Soto recommends you wear sunscreen underneath these products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose) SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and/or avobenzone.
