First size I purchased according to given measurements was way too tight. New size feels good.

No more SPF on the ears you forgot. No more hat that blows off. No more choosing between being comfortable and being protected.
Made from lightweight, breathable UPF 50+ fabric that feels cool against the skin even on warm days. The face opening is designed so you can breathe, speak and sip your tea without adjusting anything. Pull it on and get back to what you love.

Frequently Asked Questions
WILL IT MAKE ME HOT?
This is the most common question we get, and the answer surprises most people. Our UPF 50+ fabric is lightweight and breathable, meaning it actually helps regulate your temperature rather than trapping heat. Most customers say they feel cooler wearing it than with bare skin directly in the sun.
CAN I STILL BREATHE COMFORTABLY?
Yes. The face opening is specifically designed to sit across the nose bridge and allow natural, unrestricted breathing. You can talk, sip a drink and move freely without needing to adjust anything.
WHAT SIZE DO I NEED?
The Sun Balaclava is one size fits most. The stretchy fabric moulds to your head and face for a comfortable, secure fit across all head sizes.
CAN I WEAR IT WITH A HAT?
Yes. The Sun Balaclava sits neatly under a broad-brimmed hat for complete coverage. Many of our customers wear both together for full face, head and neck protection.
HOW DO I CARE FOR IT?
Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softener to maintain the integrity of the UPF 50+ fabric over time.
CAN I RETURN OR EXCHANGE IT?
Because the Sun Balaclava sits directly against your face and skin, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges for hygiene reasons. If your order arrives damaged or something isn't right, please contact our team and we will always take care of you.

Fabulous arm protection! No more ghastly tell tale scratches and bruises on my arms after cutting back roses and other sharp plants in the garden! Also great protection from the sun! And they look great! Thanks
Ordered on line and my blue wren sleeves arrived very quickly….. they are very comfortable to wear …. They don’t slip down and they are cool…. Best of all they protect my arms as I garden….. highly recommend them .
They are fantastic no more sunburn , no upsetting my psoriosis ,or adding to my skin cancers .
This has been such a fantastic find! Not only does it cool me off on a hot day (or from a random hot flush) when I wear it around my neck, but it has given me surprising relief from migraines when I wrap it like a bandana around my head. The design is beautiful and I’ve even bought more for friends and family who love them too!
From the moment I made the order to the moment I was out digging holes the whole experience with WildyReady was great. The sleeves are fantastic, not more sunburns while working outside. They arrived very quickly. And the designs are beautiful. The only thing is I wish I had knew about them earlier! Love love love 😍
This cooling towel saved me in a frizzling frazzling February. Mother Nature threw massive hot flushes at Sydney and my hot flushes had me near passing out. The towel arrived on a pretty feral day flush wise (one of the guys at work said I looked like I was going to pass out), and I used it straight away. Within minutes I was feeling better and able to people without wanting to pass out. Thank you to a random ad that led me to Wildy Ready. You saved this menopausal ol' chook!
Lovely feel nice and cool definitely recommend. I got a med. But will get sm next time .
I absolutely love my sleeves. They fit well and look great 🐝 Good advice on the website re: sizing.
The Kookaburra gloves are my garden pair and the Blue Wrens are for driving. I love the design, the fit and the finish on these gloves. I wish you made rashies. I thoroughly recommend them.
A gift for a friend that works with children in nature. The children and colleagues loved them.
At first it felt weird but after time I actually forgot I was wearing them. No more burnt arms mowing and on the old tractor slashing. Light weight and cooling when there's a breeze I just wet mine as I'm going thru perimenopause so I overheat alot in this humidity 😅. Fully recommend so no more freckley arms burnt by the sun. I ❤️ the bright colours and pattern. Try them out.
Love this for the gym every day…❤️
Prefect fit, love design.
I haven’t used it yet, waiting til May when we go away. Looks beautiful!
These are my Bee Gardening gloves. I love them! They are protective as I garden, both from scratches & the sun. They are light, easy to put on & rinse & dry in no time.
A great product for the Australian summer!
My gardening sleeves & I've got 2 pairs for driving. I forget I'm wearing them , they are so light & comfortable. Easy to put on. Mine are the ones with thumbholes which I prefer
Absolutely amazing the colour the feel of the material on my arms cause I hate sleeves but these are amazing. Thank you so much. I need more.
Absolutely love them they are amazing on the bus driver and I need 100 more pairs. They are so cool. They sit up all day. They are amazing. My arms are nice and cool. Even in the sun in 40+ degree days. Love them. Highly recommend.
Fabulous for wildlife carers. Wearing these sleeves prevents young orphaned creatures from breaking your skin by their nails or claws.
I got the ‘with thumbhole’ in Medium. Lovely quality stitching and good length. Love the wide colour range.
Lovely wide hat. The hat is neatly sewn so I could wear it on reverse, 2 colours in 1. My 3 year old son loved it too and wanted to wear it - thanks to the drawstring it fit. Great features and price, thank you!
I just love my sleeves! I have already worn the cockatoo ones doing g some pruning in my garden. This time there were no scratches on my arms for a change. I am giving the other pair to a friend for her birthday.
Love these. Perfect for all the gardening @lisasgardenlisaandlisa instagram
I work in early childhood education. I bought these sleeves for work, where Im outside for long periods of time. I used to wear an overshirt which was hot, bulky and annoying to find somewhere to put when not using. These are well made,comfy, easy to care for, really easy to clean, and so amazing I use them at home too.
These were a gift for a friend , she loved them !!
They are pretty cool to look at, are comfortable to wear, stay up well and do a great job of sun protection
Used these for the first time today while driving, temperature today was 39 degrees! They are comfortable and fit the length of my arm without gaps (with unisex shirt on). Immediately felt like my arms were cooler and I definitely noticed the lack of sting from the sun. Already convinced my mum to get a pair!
The sleeves are so soft and comfortable, fit perfectly, and there are so many beautiful designs to choose from. That’s the hard part!
Wore them first time today whilst out on the highway driving. Feel great and loving my choice of colours, fresh ☺️. Anything will be better than burning and possible issues later on. If I can help to prevent it now then getting a tad warm is no reason to complain I reckon
I really love my new arm sleeves! They are VERY comfortable and surprisingly very cool on hot days. I bought my 90yo Mum the butterfly pattern and a friend the wattle. I bought myself a second set of Frangipani to wear in the car to protect my arms from sunburn. What a great find!
I bought two pairs, one for gardening and one for the car. Loved them so much I bought a pair for each of my sisters
I ride a mobility scooter with arms outstretched copping the sun. I was uncomfortable & burning even with a long sleeved cotton shirt. A golfer friend told me about arm sleeves and I found Wildly Ready with a huge pattern choice. They rock! They work, are comfy, not hot and I’m really enjoying the passing traffic checking them out lolololo!
I have brought 3 pairs. M a bit L tight then 2 L more room for air on my arms. The photo shows the L yellow tie dye pair for sun protection whilst driving. Love them.
Lo e my arm protector and towel. Very nice cool feeling on the skin. I use the towel a bit humid on my head and is wonderful. Love them.
Easy to slide on n off, cool feel. I hate wearing long sleeve shirts, but I have to be careful with scapes n cut due to having staph, so these will protect my arms out in the garden. Love them will get another pair later.
Me I love my butterfly sleeves cause I have a condition where the sun is my enemy. I leave them in the car for sun protection when driving. The orange swirly one use for my cross stitching. The Aida material is course & rubs on my arms n hands. Doesn’t any more.. I’m 75yo. So my skin is very delicate. I bought one for my sister. She has a fur baby who tends to scratch her arms. Not any more. I can highly recommend the Wildly sleeves. They are soft to the touch & lovely to wear. For an elderly person they are perfect, at our age you only have to rub past a door & rips the skin. No I don’t have shares in the company but these sleeves I give a 100%. Lesley Kiely Medowie NSW
They protect my arms so well and breathe easy whilst mowing. Will be great for driving as well.
I'm enjoying using mine as they don't make you feel any hotter and can be easily slipped off when you stop for a rest in the shade.
