Can you recommend me some leg warmers?

[cuberider]

nothing too pricey!

I've been looking at the dhb regulate leg warmers at £22 as a starting point. Are zips desirable on the ankles?

 

[Dave 123]

I have the dhb ones, they're really good. Silicone grippers top and bottom.

Would the zip puller dig into an ankle bone?

 

[Ian193]

Mine have zips at the bottom and I don't notice them digging in as you put it not sure what make they are

I think what I meant to say was are the zipped ones a better fit than the non-zipped ones

Zips facilitate removal while you still have your shoes on, which may or may not be useful. I have a set of relatively cheap altura leg warmers (without zips) which work just fine. Fit is the main issue, which nobody else can really help with...

Zips work for me as the non zipped ones always seem to have way too small ankle holes for my chunky ankles

I've never had an issue with the Zips rubbing, I wear the tights over my socks!

I bought a pair of 'roubaix' fabric leg warmers off ebay for £7, over a year ago - last winter. Very pleased with them, and they've been used exclusively. Have short 6" zips at the ankle, and the std rubbery grips at top, rather than silicone. The zips just help to get the warmers over my feet, would not fit over shoes. The only time I 'feel' the zips are if I manage to get them at the back up from my heel, and are underneath the overshoe rear zips.

I think i've settled on some Castelli Thermoflex once i've convinced myself of the sizes.

Thanks for the help

Buy a couple of sizes from Wiggle or Sigma and return those that don't fit

These from Decathlon, they are very good, and not expensive.
