Need some arm sleeves. Something that canadians can order (and won't end up costing $60+ a set). Anybody have suggestions. This is for getting hands and arms in/around the plants (obviously?).

Please post a link if you have a suggestion. It'd be much appreciated.

Long sleeve tops are almost always gonna be too warm.
I cam across Farmer Armor (now called "art sleeves" I think). They look ok, but the price to canada, I'd probably have to get several pairs to make it worth while, and even then it might be too much.
I know about the "mango tech" ones, but again; cost is (from what I remember) very high - for canadians.

Thanks for any help.

Uhm cut the toes off a sock and put your arm through it? That's what we would do when plastering ceilings!
Just curious...why do you need sleeves around your plants? Just to be clean etc? It's good practise to be clean. But you don't need a tyvek suit to go into your room.

Ah the good Ole days huh. Man plastering lids was rough on the shoulder. My shoulders hate me every day because of my plastering days

These are the type I was talking about. It covers all the way down the arm to the shoulder. Vet's use them grabbing up inside cows and horses for birthing.

Absolutely none taken, seeing them in use is no picnic I can assure you. I'm a city guy originally but my Aunt raised draft horses and I spent summers working on her farm as a teenager. They're great for working on anything nasty like grease changes on tractors or scrubbing chicken shit out of pens. I'm just so cheap I'm used to finding ways of multi purposing stuff so these jumped to mind.

Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated. Another consideration for the application is that the sleeves not develop "fuzzies" or silimar (loose threads) that'll get stuck on buds, etc. Would these do that?:

Put your arm in a plastic shopping bag. Poke fingers thru the bottom & use a sterile glove over the hand.. steal the wife’s hair tie to grip the bag to your arm. Lol should have all that already within reach.
