Assos armwarmers/Sidi shoes

Lumen

Want some of these.

I can't find any information on fit. I have skinny arms, but am 6ft. S/M or M/L?

Also, is there anywhere that does a decent range of road Sidis in Dublin city centre?

I have them too. They stock them in CSS, although I had to rummage to find mine.

In retrospect I think I possibly should have gone a size smaller, as they slide down a tad.

I'm 6ft2 and have the larger ones, but as you know, I've huge arms. No sliding down here. I'd say if you've skinny arms, go for the smaller of the two.

Are they any good for very cold weather or are they mainly useful for avoiding wind chill?

Oooh white, what size do you use?

Assume these are just a bit cooler than the Roubaix ones?

I'd only wear them in the summer, when it's nippy leaving in the morning or raining. Would be using a base layer for colder weather.

Chips Lovell

Oh, and very few places seems to sell Sidi around Dublin. I haven't seen them in a shop yet.

Raam

my ones ain't very warm. I sometimes wear em under/over another pair.
Will check size this eve

Chips Lovell

I'd be inclined to get the Roubaix ones. They do make a noticeable difference.

+1.

Besides, I think Assos' summer stuff is intended for temperature ranges we see here perhaps twice a year.

That's L / XL, the larger size.

Interesting. If you get no slippage on your noodles, maybe I should get the same. Although yours are a different model.

edit: according to Wiggle, the sizes of Assos Roubaix Arm Warmers are:

0 (XS-S)
I (M / L)
II (L / XL)

But CRC have the Assos ProsLine Roubaix Arm Warmers in the sizes:

Sizes - Small/Medium or Large/X-Large

Maybe they're different models, or maybe it's a mistake. Perhaps I should just go to CSS.

I actually thought they said small on the packet when I bought em. They certainly don't look large.

Anyway, if you want to try them on, I'll be out the back of the airport from about 715 this evening.

Lumen

Thanks Raam.

I tried on all three sizes in CSS and got the size I.

If I ever get into a streetfight, I want my opponent to have "Assos size 0" arms.

Also confirmed the common knowledge that Sidis are a bit snug - I'm 44 in Specialized but the size 45 Ergo 2s fitted perfectly.
