Why Choose Sun Sleeves Over Sunscreen?

Here’s the kicker: sunscreen works, but only if you reapply every couple of hours. For cyclists, that’s not always practical. Sun sleeves don’t sweat off, don’t sting your eyes, and provide consistent protection mile after mile.

If you’re serious about cycling comfort and protection, take a look at our Tineli Sun Sleeves. They combine maximum UPF 50+ coverage with lightweight summer comfort, all while staying securely in place.

It’s one of those small investments that pays back ride after ride—protecting your skin so you can focus on enjoying your ride.

1. What are electrolytes and what do they do?

Electrolytes are minerals, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, that help your body hold onto fluid, maintain proper muscle function, and keep your nervous system firing. When you sweat, you lose more than just water, you also lose electrolytes, especially sodium. If you don’t replace both, your performance can suffer. Replacing them helps you stay hydrated and perform better, longer.

2. What’s the science behind the electrolyte profile?

Our electrolyte profile was developed to match what is in sweat - 400 mg sodium/L, 80 mg potassium/L, 100 mg calcium/L, 80 mg magnesium/L. We include the average amount of electrolytes lost in sweat, especially sodium, so your hydration reflects what your body actually needs. That balance helps your body absorb water faster and makes thirst a better guide during exercise.

3. Why does Hydration Sport Drink Mix include sugar?

A small amount of sugar helps your body absorb fluid faster through something called sodium-glucose co-transport - this helps water and electrolytes move from your gut into your bloodstream more quickly. It also gives you a steady source of energy. We use just enough to help you perform, not so much that it overwhelms your gut or your taste buds.
