[NeilTBB]

Just considering buyng some, any advice or recommendation ?

 

[PaulB]

Yes. Do.

Prendas arm warmers are cheap and good.

They are generally made for people with miniscule arms. I would always recommend you trying a pair on before buying.

I found they are generally made for people with huge arms, and anyway they stretch.

Prendas do the only ones that would stay on my skinny arms, at least that I could find.

I guess I'd have no problem then. My arms are skinny.

I haven't had any from Prendas yet but all the other kit I've got from them has been great. Call or e-mail them they're really helpful on sizing.

I actually got arm warmers from Wiggle, these ones:-

Large/X large and, after 4 wears and washes, have found them great.

I use them a lot, arm warmers are great for an early start, and when you get warmed through they ball up like socks and hide nicely in your back pocket.

I've found that too, the only ones I could get to fit were cannondale (made by DeFeet), similar to the Prendas, I might give the Prendas a try another time.

Edit: I see MacB has posted a link to a similar pair and like VC says they are great fir rolling up and down I can do this on the move, It means I've got a pretty bad cyclist tan. My arms are dark brown, my wrists are light brown, Ive then got a dark patch (the gap between my wrists an gloves) white hands and brown fingers.

I only occasionally where leg warmers, I've found altura are a good fit for me. Usually when I head some where during the day in shorts and no I'm coming back after dark when it has cooled down.

 

[PaulSB]

Does anyone know of leg warmers without a seam at the back of the knee?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

aldi did some like that a few years ago (but not since, sadly). i can recommend them; they're crane sports branded, in case they pop up on ebay.

I have these in red

Very happy with them so far. They are light, so best for spring/autumn. I tend to take them and the gilet if it looks like rain, I avoid the boil in the bag of a full waterproof, the arms stay warm and they dry off quickly afterwards, also the red matches the bike

Only downside is that they have attracted some "Oi! Rita Hayworth" comments

 

[aJohnson]

I have some DHB roubaix ones in black, only problem is there pretty wide at the upper arm due to me being skinny, but I came up with a few ideas so they stay on pretty good now.

I have decathlon arm and leg warmers - have had them abouta year now and they have been great. Even when I crashed in them, my mom just sewed them up and they are as good as gold.
