Leg Warmers

Have arm warmers but never used leg warmers

Do they generally stay in place or tend to slip down ?

Are there any that you can roll easily down when cycling that won't get caught in the chainring ?

Budget recommendations ?

The better quality ones pretty much stay in place. They might move a bit on a long ride but never exposing any skin.

As for rolling them down, don't do it. :eek: :eek: :eek: It looks hideous.

Arm warmers are different as they can often be used on cold summer mornings when the sun hasn't warmed up yet and then taken off later.

If it's cold enough for leg warmers at the start of a ride, leave them on. Otherwise don't use them at all.

I've used BBB ones for days that aren't near 2-5 degrees, €25 a pair. They fit quite well and haven't rolled up me at all.

I've been happy with some from polaris-bikewear. Well happy enough to order more anyway - £5 and then delivery via addresspal. I normally end up with enough other stuff between me and the children to justify the postage.

i wore my pair of hi-vis leggings for the first time in over a year, this morning.
met.ie said it was foggy, and this thread was fresh in my mind. and would you believe, there was the tiniest bit of thin mist near fairview, so my wearing of those yokes was well justified.
