Sleeveless or short-sleeves?

See more and more people wearing short sleeves instead of the traditional sleeveless top. What is the rational behind that? Any of you switch to short-sleeves?

I bought the De Sota Short-Sleeve tri jersey. I just received it so can’t wear it in tomorrows race (haven’t practiced in it yet). It really feels odd to have sleeves. lol.

UV protection and perceived aero benefits.

Perhaps there’s also some stigma to training in sleeveless; there certainly is in the UK. That, and temperature.
