I live in Florida. I probably wear the black more in the winter. I did wear the black just the other day. So, yes I will use both colors all year. They seem to keep cool ever when it is hot.

I just read on another site that black was supposed to be better but i am using them in high 80's weather and they actually keep me cool. It is great not having to put suntan lotion on my arms for every bike ride. I lower them to my wrists during the last 15-20 minutes of each ride for a good shot of vitamin D!!!

I have the black ones and I live in Florida, south Florida, and I can assure you that you will NOT feel hot wearing these. If, for example, you are wearing a cotton Hanes T-shirt with short sleeves, these "sleeves" can be worn down to your mid-knckles and go all the way up to your short sleeve t-shirt and then some; and I don't have short arms; I don't have orangutan arms either, but I would say for a female, my arms might be slightly longer than average; I am 5'8" tall, and my arms are may be a little under average in width, but these sleeves will stretch to accommodate, and WILL NOT be uncomfortable or make you feel like the blood has stopped flowing through your arms; once you yank them up high enough, and pull them down to dover the major part of your hand, you won't even feel them; sometimes I have to pull them down further on my knuckles if grasp something, but that is so minor; they are GREAT, and I am extremely picky... Hope this helps...(I have no affiliation with this Company, but wish I did, then I would get their entire line) p.s. white will get dirty, I think, but it will only take a second to try them...But I have only the black ones and wear them every time I go out. And they show no wear. And they only take a second to put on, I don't have much patience for long laborious dressing tasks...

there is no big difference, the sun sleeves are really good/confortable and you won´t notice any difference.

personal preference of color choice...in the 80s white was popular so they keep it...I see more white than any other and personally prefer it

White illuminates front and back. Sometimes it can be distracting if you have your camera behind it and can be blinding to your eyes. Good for illuminating a whole room. The umbrella with white and black. I think is better. The black blocks the bright diffused lighting so it is not blinding for those behind the camera. But illuminates your sunject really well. More control of your lighting.

The color temperature on these is predominately cool white more so than warm white.

Hi Michael... When I ordered, they show in black but arrived in white... I contact Amazon to return and they gave me price match plus 15% off to make it up. so I'm ok with white for the price and I keep. They sound good.

Can't answer that for sure, but regarding sales, the black one is probably cheaper. The white one is not common, the black one sells better.You should check out other places to see what's the price difference.

I just got this a few days ago (July 2014), and it is indeed off white. I should have trusted the "votes" beside the answers to this question instead of the # of answers saying white (3) vs. off-white (1).

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

I would have also preferred white. But I have only seen them in black for sale anywhere. I have four of them and really love them.
