How to choose the best leg, arm and neck warmers
Arm, leg, and neck warmers are a super-versatile addition to your cycling wardrobe, using them lets you fine-tune your cycling outfit according to the weather conditions.
When it’s a bit too chilly for bare arms or legs but not cold enough for tights and jackets, leg and arm warmers are the perfect stop gap. And if you’re looking to keep out a cold draught but not yet ready to graduate to a full winter-height collar, a neck warmer is the ideal solution.
Additionally, as leg, arm and neck warmers are removable and easily stuffable into a jersey pocket, they’re incredibly versatile. They can even be used underneath a full-length garment, such as a winter jacket, to add an extra layer of insulation if it’s really cold out.
At a glance, these look like simple stretchy tubes of Lycra, but, like most cycling kits, they are available in different fabrics optimised for specific temperature ranges and types of weather, as well as different designs that offer varying amounts of coverage and protection.
We’ve got all the warmers you will need to help keep you comfortable through cold starts and changeable conditions. Here’s our guide to choosing the right warmers for your cycling.
