Hot arm, Cold arm

hymil · January 2011

Okay I'm here today just got my new LE sleeves, looking for advice what to wear. With a vest and a short sleeved tee-shirt under my fleece jacket the LE arm is fine but the other is cold (we have about 5degC outside at the moment during the daytime) If however I go with long sleeves under the jacket, good arm is fine but LE arm feels ready to roast. What's a girl to do?

And btw, who ever thought this Terracotta is skin colour; did you ever meet anyone made of bricks? I meet thousands of people in the course of my work, I see a lot of skin and none of it looks like this. Ah well maybe it will when i finish being cooked.... Does it get easier in the summer months or worse, and how do you prevent sunburn on those rare days when the sun peeps out? (i'm a freckly sun-phobe who burns at the slightest provocation)

Hymil, maybe get warm knee socks and cut off the foot and use it on your non-LE arm for warmth. It's worth a try.

If anyone ever had the skin color of my LE sleeve they're call an ambulancefr him...

All the best.

My daughter has a Lands End 4-in-1 winter jacket, the arms of which zip off to convert it into a vest. When I wear my night garment during the day (Solaris), sometimes I borrow her jacket and zip the arm off of my LE side, leaving the other arm in place. The bulkiness/warmth of the sleeve of the jacket is just about the same as the bulkiness/warmths of the Solaris.

On a whim, I just checked Lands' End. They don't have a women's 4-in-1 jacket, but they do have a 4-in-1 girls' jacket:

Lands End clothes run big, so perhaps it would fit. KS1

Thank you both. I guess I could try cheap fake tan....

uh yeah, my brain is clearly out of action tonight. Fake tan might make the amrs equally odd in colour but I do realise it doesn't solve the orignal temperature mismatch issue. Only took me ten minutes to work that out. I do have a very snazzy pair of legwarmers I might try as armwarmers
