Atsugi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Shinji Nikko) released new colors of the "Cooling UV Arm Cover," which has been highly popular since its launch in March 2025, on the Atsugi Online Shop on Friday, April 3, 2026. The official Atsugi Shop on Rakuten will start selling the new colors on Saturday, April 11. The "Cooling UV Arm Cover" provides a tights-like fit that prevents slipping, a high UV protection rate of up to 99% or more (*), and features contact cooling and quick-drying properties for comfortable wear even in midsummer. (*Light gray offers 98% or more UV protection. Other colors offer 99% or more UV protection.)
## ■ Cool to the touch, dries quickly even when sweating, and stays in place
Arm covers become a strong ally for UV protection in the coming season as UV levels rise. Bright new colors, born from customer feedback, are now available for Atsugi's online-exclusive "Cooling UV Arm Cover," which has been well-received since the 2025 Spring/Summer season launch.
The "Cooling UV Arm Cover" uses Atsugi's unique design applying tights manufacturing methods. It stretches well, fits comfortably on the arm, and resists slipping. The circular knitting method means there are no side seams, ensuring a gentle feel against the skin. It reduces UV rays that cause sunburn with a high UV cut rate of up to 99% or more (*) and UPF50+. Furthermore, the contact cooling treatment provides a cool and refreshing touch. The quick-drying feature ensures sweat dries fast, preventing stickiness, making it comfortable even in the peak of summer. (*Light gray offers 98% or more UV protection. Other colors offer 99% or more UV protection.)
## ■ Equipped with convenient anti-slip grips and a thumb guard
The "Cooling UV Arm Cover" is meticulously designed to be user-friendly down to the fingertips.
To ensure smartphones or bicycle handles do not slip while wearing the arm covers, 'A'-shaped anti-slip grips matching the shape of the palm are attached.
While the fingertips are left open to allow smartphone operation during wear, an extended fabric piece on the thumb guards against the sun and prevents the sleeve from riding up.
