The same concept that has made our Arm Coolers one of our biggest selling products is now available for your legs! Skin Cooler™ is a special moisture-radiating material that actually offers a cooling effect. They are guaranteed to keep you cooler in training and in racing than not wearing anything. If you do not find this to be true, return them for a complete refund!

INSTRUCTIONS:  It is best to put the entire sleeve onto your leg, then slowly “push" the sleeve up rather than pulling it up, then once above the knee, gently pull up to the thigh. When removing it, “push” then sleeve down using the thumb and fingers around the thigh opening.

Skin Cooler™ 90 Stretch fabric block 90% UVB rays, breathable, cooling, silicone gripper elastic on upper leg.

Skin Cooler 90™ 

When the human body gets hot, it sweats to cool itself. In the past, other brands have tried to help that process by developing fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin and expedite evaporation. For over 10 years now, De Soto has taken this concept a step further by using that moisture to create a cooling effect. YES! WE WANT YOU WET. Skin Cooler™ works by a series of channels knitted into light fabric. As these channels get wet, they absorb moisture and swell, which dissipates the heat making the fabric against your skin actually cooler. How much cooler depends on factors including airflow, humidity, ambient temperature, and moisture temperature. When you sweat, the garment’s temperature drops and creates an actual cooling sensation. Skin Cooler 90™ offers this cooling effect while offering even more sun protection.

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.

Do the colored fabrics, or sections with logos affect the cooling technology? No! You will notice the fabric on the inside is all white despite the outside color or logos of the Skin Cooler product The sublimation process we use to place logos or color on our fabric turns the ink into a gas that adheres only to the outside of the fabric. Therefore this ink is non-absorbent and does not affect the technical integrity of the product in any way. The colored parts of the products will keep you just as cool as the white. 

What about black?  Our solid black Skin Cooler garments which are yard-dyed black instead of sublimated. This is why the fabric inside is black inside and and out. The actual fibers are dyed before knitting it into fabric. We estimate the black might add between 1° and 3° F depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.   

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.

    Returned

    They were just not really to my liking….too tight and too short. I have sent them back for return

    Perfect… And sexy!

    These leg coolers are fantastic. Provide great flexibility in my training wardrobe. Great for cooling in extreme heat, but also they provide a nice layer of warmth in chillier temperatures.. Also, they look super cool when paired with any of the Forza or Riviera Tri Shorts. Pick up a pair or two. You’ll be glad you did.

    Sun screen fabric keeps you cooler

    I bought these because I live in a hot sunny climate and I ride my ebike at least 1-2 hours per day 7 days a week year round. I was getting sun damage on arms and legs. These excellent products stopped the sun damage and keep me cooler. The fabric feels cool on one’s skin. But the real benefit comes on the bike when the sun is not penetrating and heating up your skin. I never realized how much of one’s sense of being hot on a hot day depends not just on ambient air temperature, but also to solar penetration and heating of skin. I am fortunate to have dark skin and rarely get a conventional sun burn. But these white reflective leotard like leggings sharply reduce what I now call deep skin heating. Uncomfortably warm days are now comfortable. Buy. Wear. Beat the heat. And if it jumps over a hundred F, just squirt a little water on the leggings and feel enjoy the hydra cooling effect. I hate sun screen lotion. I love these leggings. I would like a high viz yellow pair for midday sun and High vis orange for late afternoon and early evening. And makes in California USA!!!

    Just what I needed

    In the past couple of years, I have experienced increasingly severe heat rashes on my legs during summer rides. Desperate, I purchased these leg sleeves and they did the trick. Aside from sun protection, they protect from heat rashes as well (for me). Amazing. My only complaint is that the grips stay on so well that they chafed one of my inner thighs; I'm sure I can mitigate it with a little Body Glide. It's worth figuring out because the heat rash was starting to scar my legs from routine flaring.

    Excellent product!

    Love these leg coolers- they really help cool me down. I bought the large because I have large thighs , but they will only stay up if I tuck them into my tri shorts before I run. I will try the medium . Hightly recommend!

    Great Fit and Quality

    I have 3 of the Skin Cooler garments and have been very happy with them all. I really like the wings that are great because they dont slide down my arms like traditional arm warmers/coolers.

    Still excellent, but new fabric seems to be tighter

    I bought a pair of medium leg sleeves in 2014, which I'm still using. (So they last!) The new fabric (2023) is excellent, all good there, but significantly tighter fitting. I'm hoping they stretch a bit, but meanwhile I'm ordering a large in hopes that size works better. I don't think my legs are that much chunkier now.

    Terrific Leg Coolers

    I bought these for UV protection. These are extremely comfortable and perform excellently even in hot and humid conditions. I highly recommend them.

    leg coolers across the US of A

    Last summer I cycled 6,000 miles over 6 months from Philly to DC to Seattle, then turned left to the border at Tijuana, wearing De Soto leg coolers every day. They saved me a mountain of sunblock, and performed admirably. With such hard use, this year I am on to a new pair, and am just as happy to do so.

    Leg coolers

    Love the leg coolers however I wish they were available in similar variety of colours like the arm coolers

    Great for riding and hiking

    The leg coolers protect my legs from sun while riding and hiking on sunny days. I purchased SMALL because of the width but the size is a bit short for 5' 7" female.

    Very happy with my De Soto garnment

    My skin no longer tolerates UV rays and I have pre-cancerous cells on my face so I have to be very careful during the summer. I can now cycle with style and comfort using my De Soto cool and UV protection legs and jersey. And I only need to wear sunscreen on my hands and face! I was afraid I would be too warm with long sleeves but now, it is perfect! And the style is really nice and adapted to the sport. The size fit is a little small, but I ordered as per De Soto advise and the fit is great for me. I strongly recommend!

    Cool and Comfortable

    Just as advertised. UV protection + keeps you cool when the temperatures rise.

    5* for fit & cooling - more colors!!

    I bought these for biking and love how the leg sleeves fit perfectly, stay up without compression & don't slide down. However, I really wish these came in at least 1 other color than white or black. Black is too hot for summer riding. And, well, someone joked that I looked like a nursing home escapee... Yikes. I'm not THAT old and average 15-17 mph over 40+ miles. Can DeSoto please make these leg sleeves in that cool-looking silver/white pattern you have in the arm shrugs?? Thanks.

    Almost as wonderful as the arm coolers

    The quality of the fabric, design, and workmanship is perfect. They are the first leg sleeves I have worn that stay up without any adjustment. I don’t love them as much as my boleros only because they don’t have as much cooling effect as my arm coolers. I wear a bolero every time I ride in the summer. I wear the leg coolers only when it’s sunny.

    5th pair

    This is my 5th pair of leg coolers. I've tried other brands and knockoffs. Nothing works as well as De Soto leg cooler. In the heat of the summer, a bit of water keeps the legs cool. The leg grips keep them securely in place.

    Will never run without it

    It is comfortable and give me the extra sun protection while keep me cool. Highly recommended!

    Thunder thighs

    I have to admit that my thigh circumference was not as large as the published for size medium. So as a result the leg covers tend to slip after riding for awhile. I ordered the size medium for the length. Should have ordered the small. So, I will need to take them in for a better fit. Other than that they are comfortable and do feel cool.

    Leg coolers

    DeSoto leg coolers are the best for fit and comfort. AND durability! I’ve had a lot of sun damage from years of cycling and theses are the ticket!
