Default Arm chaps

Does any on here wear arm chaps ? I've been looking at some on the internet, don't really know if worth buying or not. Any input would be appreciated.

armchaps.com? those look straight up homosexual n very feminine.
if i was wanting to be different n still get arm protection on a hot day i'd wear welders sleeves.
i'm a welder n i have already worn these riding running to work late unintentionally, they don't look gay but they really get folks going WTF as yer riding by.
heavy metal band guys wear these too for some reason.

The upper arm may need protection, but the forearms are parallel to the wind & bees. Sunscreen sounds more practical.
