General Cycling Discussion - Leg warmers that stay in place.

I really like arm/leg warmers. Can take them off and put them in your jersey pocket a couple hours later when it warms up.
particularily, leg warmers.. Why can't they put velcro fastners or something in them.. The leg's movement causes them to eventually refuse to stay in place and fall below the knees. not much help there- keeping you warm..
Anyone else have this problem.. has anyone found leg warmers that stay in place?

Mine do the same thing... but I put them under my shorts and they stay in place. True, ya gotta pull the legs up to put them on, but not a big deal to me, just takes a second. If I put them on the outside, they are down around my knees within 2 minutes.

My arm warms don't fall down at all.

I'm like you, I love my arm/leg warmers.

PB.. I put my on really high(under the shorts), As I am getting dressed. They might last 1-2 hours. Once on the bike, seems you can't pull them high enough w/o undressing to get them to stay put for very long..

I've tried inside and outside my shorts and didn't have much luck either way.You do have to pull them up until you think you shut off circulation to your thighs to get them to stay up a couple hours:D Thank goodness it got warmer during a event I wore them in because I was ready to get out the ductape!I wore them the other day under a pair of tights and they stayed up pretty good.

If your leg warmers have grippers under the top seam....

Turn the top seam over so the grippers face out and wear them under your shorts so the grippers grab your shorts. They will stay up all day.

If your leg warmers don't have grippers-use safety pins. 2 safety pins per leg will do fine, one is not enough.

What they said, and get Pearl Izumi Leg Warmers!
