Will probably find out tomorrow if I really like them or not! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85780 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:11:36 +0000 Min 85780@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My Twin Six arm warmers cling to my muscle bound arms very well. </p> <p>The Gore windproof leg warmers don't stick to my legs at all but so long as I wear knee length lycra shorts over them to pin them down, they are fine. And they are brilliant for keeping my knees warm. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85762 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 10:00:03 +0000 Bhachgen 85762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got the Prendas arm warmers. £8 and they stay up pretty well on me. I'm not known for my bulky biceps...</p> <p><a href="http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=typ&amp;fkid=43&amp;ID=2799">http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=typ&amp;fkid=43&amp;ID=2799</a></p> <p>Aldi do have arm and leg-warmers in as of tomorrow according to their website. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85736 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:11:15 +0000 Stepdoh 85736@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Gore Bike Ozon II ones stay up really well. And I have skinny tastic arms. DHB ones were wrist warmers.</p> <p>Mornings can still be a bit frosty here, so glad of em. And they go so well with my green bar tape.</p> <p>DHB Fuzzy Knee warmers are okay. Longer Red Hancapie ones are great (were on sales) and improve visibility significantly :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85724 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:52:38 +0000 crowriver 85724@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got the LiDL ones, pretty good for £9.99 for arm and leg warmers. The leggy ones fit great, but as others have opined, my skinny upper arms mean the arm warmers are a tad roomy at the top. However with a short sleeved jersey over them that should hopefully help them stay up. </p> <p>Flexibility is the good thing about them, easy to wear under soft shell jackets, over shorts, tights, etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85714 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:23:49 +0000 DaveC 85714@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have Decathlon (btwin) armwarmers. £12 the pair. They have nice latex bands at the top to keep them up, like expensive cycle shorts. Not sure about leg warmers.. Acutally I think they do but I was not looking for them at the time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85710 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:17:35 +0000 Smudge 85710@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks chaps, I may try to pop into a shop towards the end of the week then :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85708 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:12:35 +0000 Nelly 85708@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have some EBC arm warmers - fit well, going into year 3 and look / feel fine</p> <p>Bought some Sugoi legwarmers online in feb - incredibly well made, great shaping, good zips and reflectives - think they were pretty cheap as well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85700 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:48:04 +0000 kaputnik 85700@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got very ladylike upper arms - most armwarmers will slide happily down them. So far only some Assos ones have actually stayed up! I really like my Giorgana kneewarmers, but they've had 2 winters and have worn thin now so need replaced. So definitely worth trying them on if you get a chance to pop into a shop.</p> <p>They are an excellent way to control temperature - easily put on and taken off and stow away small. Recommend them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85699 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:38:54 +0000 gembo 85699@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought some at LIDL' last sale. 9.99 for two of each. none of them stay up that longonnmy puny arms. Maybe Aldi will have them in their sale thurs? Zipvit has them with 25% off at the moment </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8517#post-85696 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:35:31 +0000 Smudge 85696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi all, with half an eye on the weather guessw...erm.. "Forecast" for the weekend, I'm wondering if I should get a set of arm and leg warmers before the 3 glens, any must buy/must avoids, or bargains not to be missed?<br /> Tnx, S </p>
