This sleeve also utilises Uvex Climazone technology, which functions according to the same principles as the body’s own thermoregulating system, regulating temperature and removing excess moisture. Ideal for use in warm environments or for working outdoors in summer, Climazone lets you focus on your work by keeping your arms in total comfort.
