Best arm warmers?

MB Lacey

Any recommendations for the skinnier unmuscled arm?
I bought some Medium BBB ones on Sunday for €20, by the time I'd cycled back to Dublin, one of them had fallen down around my wrist.

I doubled up the top of the warmer, went for another cycle and it still fell.
I had tried the Small in the shop and that was too tight.

I'm doing the Dundalk to Dublin cycle on Sunday and could do with some arm warmers to stay up on both arms.
Oh, another thing about the BBB ones was they're quite short in length.
So are there any grippy, long arm warmers for arms that lack massive biceps?
Thanks.

I'd recommend Castelli Nanoflex ones. Seem good at staying up on my arms even though I'm very skinny. They're water resistant too which helps to keep you warm and dry.

Most of life's problems can be solved by doing more push-ups.

I get quite warm cycling so wanted to avoid wearing a base layer for Sunday's cycle, however pimply cold arms are no fun so arm warmers seemed the best solution - easy/ lightweight to take off.

I'll look up the lbs in Dublin that sells castelli I remember there was a thread on it, or the altura ones either.
Thanks

I have these, they're good and cheap: http://on-one.co.uk/i/q/CLOOSMAW/on_one_merino_seamless_arm_warmers

On-one can be very cheap for some things, just watch out for the postage.

I got a pair of these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=88844
Only arrived this morning so I had to try 'em out. Did 100k and the 1st impressions are pretty good. Couldn't fault them so far. I'll reserve final judjment to see how they are after they go through the wash though. One would imagine a company like Addidas would know their stuff though.
