Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone know who makes arm warmers with thumb loops?

I was just watching the cervelo videos over at bartape.net and in one episode (the wind tunnel one I think) Thor is wearing what looks to be either an undershirt or arm warmers (though it could be a skinsuit) where the sleeves have thumb loops. Anyone happen to know who makes those, or who makes the cervelo TT kits or accessories? Doesn't seem like it's a 2XU item which I saw a few guys wearing.

Have you tried a google search? Or just just cut a hole in your existing ones maybe.

I know this may come as a surprise, but not everyone on an internet forum lives in Texas.

wow, that cadence website has to be one of the worst I've ever been to. Eventually I did find their arm warmers and they did in fact have thumb holes, so I'll keep them mind. Even though the description said hydrophobic, they look really fleecey.

x2, I could see wanting thumb holes in a l/s jersey to keep them from exposing your wrist ... but I have never had issues with arm warmers wanting to ride up. The opposite actually

Yeah, seems like jerseys or arm warmers with thumb holes would put a seam right across the palm of your hand, which could make riding uncomfortable pretty quickly.
