Lycra wrist warmers

[annedonnelly]

It really helps to keep my hands warm if I can keep my wrists warm - both on the bike & in general. I have some knitted wrist warmers but they are prone to attaching themselves to bits of velcro. My jacket & my gloves have velcro fastenings so I'm constantly unhooking the velcro from the wrist warmers.

I've only managed to find one type of lycra wrist warmer online - these So has anyone any experience of them or any other suggestions? These are a bit more than I'd like to pay but if they work then it'll be worth it. I need something that can go under gloves - so not too bulky - and are easy to put on with normal clothes. I don't want something that stretches so far up my arm I need to undress to put them on.

It's started to get a bit chilly round here so I need to get something sorted...

How about Lycra arm warmers from Planet X? Under everything? Cut them in half and hem them and you get 4.

Why don't you just turn the arm warmers down over themselves ... half the length, double the thickness, twice the warmth!

Or how about kids arm warmers:

I think @wonderloaf's suggestions would cut one's circulation off!
But @Heltor Chasca's solution seems sound, I was going to suggest similar.
You could also cut off the foot and hem a suitable pair of socks.

Not necessarily, I see @annedonnelly is a Girl from the North Country, maybe she's a small or slim girl? I try not to make assumptions!

You have a point

Longer gloves that tuck inside your sleaves?

Cut up an old pair of tights?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have a try modifying a pair of socks but I wonder if they might unravel. Worth a try before I spend £25 anyway.

@Katherine Gloves tucked into my sleeves are great until I need to take the gloves off I'm looking for a solution that will allow for unlocking the bike, paying for stuff in shops, getting my keys out of my pocket, etc.
