The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.

WEIGHT - Accuracy helps us provide a more accurate size for you.
CHEST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.
WAIST -  Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.
HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.


 

If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.

The Skin Cooler Longsleeve is a full sleeve triathlon top; skin-tight, and zipperless. It's created with our Skin Cooler 90 fabric and features 3 vertical pockets to keep you cool and comfortable while protecting you from harmful UV rays. It's a MUST-HAVE top for any warm-to-hot weather activity.

Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.  
Fit Type: Form fitting
Fit Note:
 Please do not assume your size, please use our size chart. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com. Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.
 

Favorite Features Remain

  • Skin Cooler 90™ stretch fabric blocks 90% UVB rays while creating a cooling sensation that actually keeps you cooler
  • Cooling technology is embedded in the fabric and will NOT wash out, contrast difference to many other "like" products on the market
  • Our longest length top for those with long torsos or in need of more coverage
  • Long sleeves for cooling and sun-protection on the arms
  • Three vertical pockets for nutrition gels, ice, or cold sponges commonly available at aid stations in triathlons and long endurance races. Pockets line up along your spine and are designed to help your cool your body. 
    • You might be use 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
    • The pockets are not designed to carry excessive weight such as water bottles, gel flasks, or any comparable weight
  • This is not a compression garment, yet it is supposed to fit snug, for aerodynamic purposes. Though it is designed to be worn alone and performs best that way, you can wear it over or under any triathlon top, tri suit, cycling jersey, golf shirt, or tennis shirt, and you will actually be cooler!
  • Offset seams eliminate the potential to chafe
  • This garment is not designed for repeated use in a chlorinated pool
  • Made in the USA
  • We are often imitated.  Remember just because it is white, it does not mean the fabric will cool you.  READ ON!

Read this nice TIP FROM EMILIO: HOW TO QUICKLY PUT ON A SKIN COOLER LONGSLEEVE TOP! (AN EASY WAY TO PUT ON & REMOVE A TRI TOP) 

What makes ours different?  Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm).  Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber and created a synthetic silk.  It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet.  Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation.  Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.

A MEDICAL TESTIM0NIAL:  We received this letter from a respected Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon:

 I am an avid runner and triathlete and I recently discovered your Skin Cooler products, of which I'm a huge fan.  I have been wearing them for a few months now and couldn't be happier.  I am a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon.   Every patient I see is plagued by basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma.  I recommend your products to my active patients on a daily basis.  It allows them to continue their active lifestyle while protecting themselves from the sun. I find your product to be far superior to all other cooling and sun protective lines.  I truly appreciate your efforts and innovations. 

Note: No garment should ever be a substitute so we always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, 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 we know that 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 or zinc oxide.

    No comparison to the Skin Cooler Fabric!

    I just finished a 2 day all day stage trail race in AZ near Phoenix - Both days the weather was identical - clear skies, 85-88 degrees, desert sun in the peak afternoon. One day I used the De Soto Skin Cooler Arm Coolers and the other day I used a competitors white UV sun sleeve - not even a close comparison, the DeSoto Arm Coolers were hands down way more effective at topical cooling in the desert heat, comfortable and yes very cooling whether wet or dry. The other high end brand didn’t even come close to De Soto, in fact I had to remove and stash away the other brand arm sleeves to manage the heat as they kept getting warm and stuffy feeling once they were dry. This De Soto skin cooler fabric actually works, provided topical cooling and kept me comfortable in the heat, were very durable (hit the dirt and rocks once after tripping, and the odd cactus leaning over the trail didn’t pull the fabric) and felt light on the arms - these are long endurance races and the arm sleeves never became an irritant at the cuff I’m definitely sticking with De Soto for my future hot weather gear purchases. Also De Soto customer service was also excellent - they were fast and friendly to respond helping with sizing recommendations and other questions.

    This shirt works!

    In the world of athletic apparel, new fabrics promise much but only occasionally deliver. In 30+ years of buying, selling, wearing and repairing almost every proprietary fabric from manufacturers big and small, just a few stand out as being truly revolutionary. The skin cooler fabric in this top is one of them. From the moment I put this shirt on, I could feel the cooling effect of the fabric. This was accentuated by the slightest breeze; even from the motion of swinging my arms or walking. The fit of the shirt matches its purpose; there is no billowy excess or saggy gaps. For my slim build (6' tall, 150 lbs) the size small fit snug without pulling or pinching. This was also true at critical areas like the neck opening, armpits, and elbows - the cut of the fabric did not restrict, and had just enough give to allow flexing and bending for comfort in the aero position or for reaching around to the pockets in back. As with all DeSoto garments, construction is top-notch. Significantly, the quality of the fabric, detail of the stitching, and patterning of the shirt are all just as good as the skin cooler tri tank I bought several years ago. To me, this speaks to the consistency of quality control over a span of many years. Sadly, there are a lot of other athletic brands with big names and long pedigrees whose quality has suffered lately. Not sure if this is due to Covid-induced supply line disruptions or labor shortages or a change in business model to maximize profits. Regardless of the reason, having confidence that the product I am investing in, especially when buying sight-unseen online, will be worth the money and the hassle of ordering, is important to me. I have only had this shirt a short time, so durability is untested. The aforementioned tri-top is several years old and still going strong. If you are in the market for a form-fitting performance shirt with sun protection, I can vouch for DeSoto's men's skin cooler long sleeve top.

    Hands down best company ever!!

    I cannot speak highly enough for the excellent service from this company. They truly go above and beyond for their customers. I had an unfortunate experience of needing a shirt overnight , I emailed the website, and Mr. De Soto responded back to my right away, even though it was after hours, and he was with family. He assured me that he would make sure personally that my shirt would be sent out the very next day and he did. He emailed me to confirm that it was sent. I got it just in time before my travel for an ultramarathon with temps at 115° with the heat index. Again, hands down and thank you to the De Soto company for their exceptional customer care and products!!!

    ❤️ Skin Cooler long sleeve works well on trail runs

    This is my 4th DeSoto long sleeve skin cooler. I bought my 1st one for long bike rides (Ironman training) ….the past few years my focus switched to Ultra-Running. Spending days in the AZ sun I have enjoyed the sun protection and cooling….the spine pockets are handy too for snacks:) 5 Stars

    Skin cooler top

    This is not my first skin cooler purchase. People look at me funny when I’m wearing long sleeves and sometimes legs on a hot day. I don’t care because it’s like riding in air conditioned comfort and it blocks those harmful rays. Great product!

    I have tried and tried, but it's not worth it

    I had the old version of this and the wings, the all white ones with the waffle-like fabric and love them both. The shirt got a hole in the elbow so I replaced it with the "new" and "better" version. I only wear these shirts when it's extra hot, so it's only periodic. I switch around between the old wings and shirt with the waffle fabric and this new one. Every time I wear the new one I feel like it's doing nothing more than any other skin tight thin shirt would do against my skin. Only when there is a legit breeze do I feel any cooling effect. However, with the old one, the swinging motion of my arms generates enough "breeze" to effectively cool even though the air was "still." It's been almost two years (time flies!) and I've tried and tried to like this, rotating between old and new, but I am finally giving up and submitting this review.

    Buy 3 of these, today

    I'm currently training for my 8th Ironman. The miles are started to rack up and the temperature is only getting hotter. I took a chance on the long sleeve skin cooler shirt and tried it out today. I live in a place where it's already over 90° in May, so I was really hoping this did the trick. Let me tell you this... It was 91° in the sun just now for my run, and my numbers usually fall off a cliff when it's that hot out. I just ran like it was in the low 70's and fell fantastic afterwards, when I'm usually totally drained from getting beaten down by the sun. I got home and immediately shared my experience to a few runner friends of mine, then ordered another one for myself. If you suffer when running in the heat, this is 100% for you. It's like a cheat code for summer running.

    Amazing top kept me both warm and cool

    It was a cold windy day. while waiting 30 minutes to start the race the top kept me warm, and once the race started and i was sweating, the top kept me cool. I don't normally wear sleeves but this will be a new base layer for me in the cold New England winter. and cooler half marathons that i have coming up.

    My favorite jersey

    This jersey is awesome. Never had anything this comfortable and adoptable temperature wise. Three pockets are excellent when I carry a lot of food. And the design is finally a change from the boring standard designs. And I hate zippers - having no zippers is such a big plus. And it’s actually long enough and doesn’t ride up all the time.

    Good sun protection, good fit, very durable

    I’m 6’ 3”, 190#’s with long arms and the large fits perfectly. I abused my skin when I was a teenager and am trying to limit further damage now. This top works great for cycling in the hot Florida sun. I’ve worn it many dozens of times and it’s still in very good shape. I like it enough to have purchased a second one FWIW. I don’t find it as cool as a regular short sleeved cycling jersey with the zipper down….but 90 degrees and high humidity is a pretty severe test for any long sleeved top. If the fabric was overall lighter and some mesh on the insides of the arms it might be a bit cooler but not really sure what goes in to making something like this. Overall it’s the best option I’ve found and my go-to all spring/summer/and fall. For the performance, full retail seems like a pretty decent deal as far as value too.

    Skin cooler does actually make me feel cooler!!!

    Live in Texas so I thought this shirt might make my hot summer rides a little more bearable. Pleasantly surprised that it has. Next time they're on sale I'll buy a couple more.

    Thoughtful design

    Best purchase hands down I did a 24 hour ride. I didn’t catch any sun with the great sleeves. The 3 pockets were perfect for cooling ice bags. Big enough for a phone on other rides. It runs fresh and not hot and sticky like some other materials.

    Great top for warm Florida runs. It does what it says. Once you start to sweat , it cools you.

    Skin cooler top

    Works as advertised. I use this during hot / sunny days and it helps to keep you cool while providing protection from the sun. Used this top during IM Maryland, nice not having to worry about sunscreen on arms / back. Long enough to cover the lower back unlike many other tri tops. Excellent quality.

    SKIN COOLER LONG SLEEVE TOP

    What a great shirt. This small package arrived one afternoon and in the evening I was pulling it on for a run. It felt great, but it took another run in the late evening sun a couple days later for me to really feel how this shirt and the fabric work. In a sub-tropical climate where I can run and feel comfortable during and after and connect that feeling to a shirt is great. The long sleeves are a bonus for anyone looking to help protect their skin too.

    Customer delight at its best

    I have found that after many decades of sun exposure my forearms have been getting more sensitive to long rides(I am 57). With temperatures rising I contacted Emilio about his Skin Cooler Long Sleeve Top. He got me sized properly, answered all my questions and got me a top in a timely manner so that I was able to ride and run comfortably in 35-40 degrees Celsius. An added benefit was that once I started to sweat, I felt the cooling effect. This product has been a game changer for me as I love doing 5-7 hour rides, and 2 hour runs, but also want to be protected. Great product, great service, great company. I also love my T1 wetsuit.

    Humidity Salvation

    Run in West Houston and humidity is 80% plus at times so I thought I would try the long sleeve shirt to see if it really cooled. Used this for a one and a half hour run. First of the run I noticed I wasn’t sweating as much so throughout the run I didn’t really notice any difference but that is the thing because at the end when I took the shirt off I was amazed at how much water it did retained and how much cooler I felt. No doubt not and air conditioning experience on the run but something else not to worry about. Also like the idea of it covering my arms for UV protection. The back three pockets are great for sponges or ice so you can pull out during the run. I will probably buy another so I can rotate this out. I highly recommend without any reservations as training for first full IRONMAN in October. Run well and run free :-)

    Heat running shirt is wonderful!

    My first 50 mile race was awesome because of this shirt. It pulls the heat away and protected me from the sun and other elements. I did have rub marks on the back from my UD fuel vest which I hope to move to holes but I’m confident I will get a significant number of races in before that time comes. Highly recommend this shirt for long distance ultra running!

    Amazing shirt!!

    A good friend recommended the Skin Cooler Long Sleeve Top when we were mountain biking through the summer. In mid-August, I purchased two of these shirts before heading on a trip to Moab. It was 100+ degrees all week and the shirts were absolutely amazing! It felt like I was wearing an air conditioner. I highly recommend these to anyone and everyone!
