Knee warmer recommendations

    My trusty Endura knee warmers have finally worn out and the replacement ones I've bought at more leg warmers in length then knee warmers. Seems all them have gone this way where the knee warmers cover your calf now too.

    Does anyone know if the old type still exist anywhere that just cover your knee and if so can they point me to a pair?

    Thanks

    Bought the one's in the link during the week. When they arrive I will let you know the lenght.
    Have a pair of the castelli and they are knee lenght knee warmers.

    Do the Castelli ones stop just below the knee or do they cover the calf? Both the thermoflex and nanoflex images suggest they cover the calves.

    @bcmf, are either of these the ones you have?

    I have the calf warmers which run from just above the knee to just above the ankle.
    Am waiting for delivery for the knee warmers.
    Will let you know what they are like when they arrive either Mon or tues

    The ones in the ebay link I posted are size Large and they run from mid thigh to just above the top of my calf muscle.

    My castelli ones (that I cant find now) are the older style and not thermoflex or nanoflex or any kind of super expensive flex.

    haha..brilliant :D

    Did you order by the recommended sizes on their ebay page i.e. waist 32-34 = large or did you pick a larger size than normal since they appear to be compression i.e tight fit.

    I went for the large knee warmers as I have big legs.

    Page on ebay says arge is for waist size 32-34. I think we have different opinions on what big legs are :eek:

    Ah never even looked at the waist size.
    I need/use large knee warmers so I ordered 'Large'.
