Check the Aldi or Lidl website to see when your local store is getting cycling bits in. I have used the Aldi leg warmers for some time now, and they were perfect for the winter.

serious question - what is the purpose of arm and leg warmers? why not just wear a long sleeved top/bottoms? is it to give you flexibility?? just seems a bit of a faff, but I don't know if I'm missing something obvious (wouldn't be the first time!).

The purpose of them is to put them on in the early morning when it's cooler and as it gets warmer you can remove them easily and pop them in your jersey pocket.

Wiggle's DHB brand are alright if you don't mind wee reflective bits. Well they fit me for a start. I have medium arms. Not small/med or med/large. Just medium.

Fair enough, can't argue with that! I thought there would be an obvious answer, though mostly when I've seen folk wearing them they are hanging down round their wrists!

The arm warmers are superb I have never had a problem with them rolling down. Sleeveless base layer, short sleeved jersey, arm warmers and a gilet is great for this time of year so easy to remove layers when you warm up. The leg warmers are different matter as I looked like a complete tit in them with my skinny legs and never wore them.
