Knee Warmers

I have been looking at getting some knee warmers, but don’t know a heap about them.

What are some decent quality ones that don’t cost too much?

What should I look out for when buying them?

Thanks

Brushed roobaix fabric in this weather. Santini, Nalini, Guessegi all have good ones, Pearl Izumi tend to be a bit thin. Descente and (I think) that Ground Effect mob from NZ have woolly looking ones. Look for silicone grippers top and bottom.

Personally, in this weather I prefer brushed roobaix bibs in 3/4 or longs. A bit of a hassle when you need to poo but they’ll help keep your kidneys warm.

This will help you keep your kidneys warm, then you can have sex with it

Anything from your lbs that stretches over your knee. I don’t think it matters that much.

I’ve heard that they tend to fall down though, so either get full length leg warmers or 3/4 bib nicks maybe.

I have the PBK team ones and they are pretty good. I only ever wear them under my knicks so that tends to keep them in place.

Have’nt seen that one at the LBS CreigC, l love it :slight_smile:

I have the PBK Nalini ones and they fuckin’ rule. Cheap too!

finally got tired of riding to school in boardies? :wink:

check the usual cheap online stores… i know torpedo7 and cell had them (and the full leg warmers) for cheap a couple of times this winter.

groundeffect will always get my vote…

brushed roubaix is the business… you will want something fleecy as a backing to the lycra and a few of the ones you see around dont have that.

bikenow on kingsway have some liquigas arm and leg warmers in L and XL for cheap(ish) in their sale bin but i dont think they are fleece-backed.
