Lasted around 20 minutes in 77 degree weather, with little to no exertion. I feel tricked

The arm bands provided relief from the high temperatures during a long weekend soccer tournament. They fit well and allowed for easy exchange of the packs at halftime for each game.

This product works very well. For almost an hour at a time it kept me cool out in blistering hot 30c+ weather while wearing a full suit (navy blue suit jacket and pants - so absorbs the sun). By using the white arm sleeves (white so that it didn't show through my white shirt), and putting them inside-out so that the gray logo didn't show through my white shirt, both the sleeves and the gel packs were invisible! No one at my wedding noticed I was wearing it! At key points in the day I traded out the gel packs for a set of cold ones from the fridge to stay cool. They aren't uncomfortable to wear at all - I didn't notice them other than feeling something slightly cool on my arm. The gel packs feel cool rather than cold, which is exactly what you want. If they felt cold, then it would take away heat too fast and would be uncomfortable and the effect also wouldn't last long. It's about speed of heat transfer and I found that their solution works good. I just wish it would last for a couple of hours but that would probably require a much more expensive active cooling solution that pumps coolant around haha.
Also, Qore performance really stepped up in terms of customer service by taking my last minute order and preparing it very fast, making sure to customize it exactly to my needs for my special day and ensuring it shipped immediately so that it arrived on time! I paid for the 3-5 business day shipping and it arrived in 3 days.
Thank you, Qore!

...is how I don't feel during my group exercise classes anymore. I go to a gym where classes are packed and sometimes the temperature in the class is distracting enough to make the exercise unenjoyable and truly uncomfortable. That then gives me an excuse to not try so hard.

Not anymore with the sleeve. I am significantly less overheated, so much so that all I can focus on is the exercise itself and how hard my heart is pumping. I like this.

I've also used the sleeve on hot and humid days when I'm walking around and it reduces the amount of sweat I produce. Bonus!

I highly recommend this product.

I the arm sleeves to use for riding my mt. bike and working out at the gym. So the other day I used them when the temperature was higher than normal and the humidity was also high. I was amazed at how well they worked. During my 45 bike ride, I could feel a difference in my body temperature and I felt like I could have ridden a longer distance. Normally during and after the ride, I feel exhausted, and fatigued. Not this time. I think Core Performance has an outstanding product.

I have been using my Qore Performance extensively since I bought it. I'm a 25 year old Male and have always been athletic but have had a problem over heating during physical activity my whole life. I use the Qore Performance at the gym when I lift weights, in Pilates and yoga classes, and at the golf range. Its works great, does not get in the way of any exercises (especially golf swings!), and lasts nearly an hour. I notice that my body stays much cooler. Normally my face is prone to over heating, turning red and sweating a lot when I exercise but the Qore Performance drastically reduces this.

I spoke with you at the NVTCDI event about your product, specifically in regards to using it during soccer matches and on summer runs. As per your recommendation and generous return policy, I purchased a "half sleeve" and the ice pack with it. I've gone out to run a few times with it on and I have been incredibly impressed with the product's effects. I can safely say that I am very satisfied with Qore's equipment and while I intend to add a few more pieces to my gear, I definitely intend to forward your company's info to other runners/bikers/etc. that I know!

I was first introduced to the wrist sleeve of Qore Performance in April 2014 at my local Golf Course, Glenn Dale, in Maryland. I wore the wrist sleeve for several rounds and I noticed a distinct difference in my body temperature and comfort level in the heat during competitive rounds of golf. I then acquired the arm sleeve and wore it on the opposite arm during several rounds of golf. Not only did I notice a great difference in reducing my body temperature, I also noticed a more relaxed and better swing all around the course in very warm temperatures all summer long. I lowered my handicap and enjoyed every round because of an increase in comfort.

I recommend both apparel items to everyone on the Golf Course.

As an aside, I travel the Country teaching Law Enforcement Courses and after my positive experiences with both the wrist and arm sleeves, I now introduce and recommend them to every law enforcement officer I come in contact with. There is nothing worse than being extremely uncomfortable, due to heat, while on duty, protecting our citizens.
The products manufactured by Qore Performance are a welcome addition to increasing our comfort and reducing our body temperature without infringing on our mobility. Great products. Not only do I endorse them, I recommend them.

I own a small business in Wilmington, NC and we spend a lot of time in homes without electricity. During the summer in the South it can get very hot. Last year I had a friend suggest the Qore sleeve, so I gave it a try. The very first time I used it I could feel a huge difference. It kept my body temperature cool even in the worst conditions. Now I don't go to any job without it. I recommend this product to anyone who works in extreme conditions.

I purchased one of these for a hike this weekend. It was a hot muggy day and when I had the sleeve on it was a big help with the sweat and fatigue. I acclimated to the sleeve very quickly and after about 5 minutes didn't realize it was still on. The sleeve is a good look and even got a few comments from other hikers.

Good product, great value.

Sleeve Material Quality/Feel:
It’s HIGH quality. Your first experience with the sleeve is going to be exciting. It has what I’m going to call athletic sexiness to it. As for how it feels on while playing sports – I’ve caught a couple games, batted several times and played 18 and it didn’t encumber my motion or ability in any way whatsoever. You know the sleeve is on and the packet is in, but it doesn’t impede your golf or batting swing.

Does it actually work?
Yes. I play sports. I know how much I sweat and how I feel after catching a 9-inning baseball game or playing 18 holes on a hot day. I’m tired. After wearing the sleeve for one baseball game I knew I was going to wear it for every game thereafter. I didn’t stop sweating entirely, but it cools your body and makes you sweat LESS, which means you’ll feel more energetic late in a game. Since you’re given two packets, I always had one on ice and one in the sleeve. I’m told they should last around an hour.

Bottom Line:
Look, I know this isn’t the panacea to stop man from ever getting tired playing sports. But it’s an effective product to keep your energy level higher for longer and make you feel better in the later stages of a game and afterwards. You still need to replenish fluids while you’re playing, otherwise you will get dehydrated. It’s not a substitute for drinking water. But it’s a great supplement to your sporting experience that makes you feel better than you would normally, which will make you perform better.
