RnI Press release: June 30, 2025 To Members of the Press Uniqlo’s arm covers are number one in sales every year! We investigated the secret behind their popularity! Research and Innovation Inc.

June is here and summer is gradually approaching. Now that it’s getting hotter, more and more people are starting to worry about UV rays in the summer. Especially now that it’s the season for short sleeves, you’re probably worried about sunburn on your arms even when walking outside for a bit. So this time, we’ve looked into the “arm covers” that are very popular every year at Uniqlo. Uniqlo’s arm covers are number one every year! Based on the purchase data registered by users of our shopping registration app “CODE”, we checked the ranking of products purchased at UNIQLO in the summer from June to August. In addition, since UNIQLO manages individual products carefully, for example, even T-shirts often have different barcodes if the size or color is different. This time, we checked the ranking by barcode based on that premise. Top 5 sales products in 2023

It is also ranked first in 2013 based on data from June 1st to the present. (*The barcode is from 25 years ago) Uniqlo makes its presence felt with seasonal items! By the way, this arm cover is a product of the “Airism” series. To find out why arm covers are so popular, we checked the sales of “Airism” as a whole. And speaking of Uniqlo, apart from “Airism”, “Heattech” is also famous. We looked at the trends of how these are selling. (Whether it is AIRism or HEATTECH was determined from the product name registered by the user.) Sales index for AIRism and HEATTECH from 2023 to 2025

From this, we believe that UNIQLO is recognized by consumers as a brand that “provides the best functional clothing for each season.” Review rating score: 4.3 out of 5! Next, we checked the reviews of people who purchased the arm covers. There were many comments praising the comfortable fit that is unique to the Airism series, such as “It’s cool and feels good on the skin, and there’s no need to worry about it slipping down, so it will be very useful this summer (woman in her 60s)” and “It’s smooth and comfortable to wear (woman in her 40s).” In terms of usage scenarios, it is a product that is useful when you want to keep cool and protect yourself from UV rays, such as “It’s good when it’s too hot for a hoodie (woman in her 20s)” and “It’s great for hanging out the laundry or going for a walk (woman in her 40s)”. In addition, there were comments from people who have continued to purchase it since last year and have experienced the improvements in the product, such as “It’s an upgrade from the one I bought last year (woman in her 40s)” and “I feel like it’s cooler than last year’s version (woman in her 40s)”.

Summary This time, I’ve written about the particularly popular arm covers from the Airism series, which is the number one seller in the summer. In this season when heat and humidity are a concern, why not consider using the popular Uniqlo arm covers to protect yourself from the sun? About purchase log view
