I live in Canada so yes I've used them, and leg warmers, and insulated bibs, throw in some heavy wool, wind breaker, booty covers, full mitts, toe warmers, hand warmers, a face mask, touque and good to go. I have managed rides in temps as low as -15c without too many issues. I just won't ride in slush and salt so I have to time rides just right in the winter. One item I almost always have in knee warmers. Even on some cool summer mornings as my knees stiffen up easy.

I mostly ride in hiking pants this time of year, some Mountain Hardware knickerboxers (with no ankles). Very nice. But they leave the bottoms of my legs exposed to the air, and I don't wear giant socks. So I've been wearing cashmere leg warmers when I ride for a couple years now. They're extremely comfortable when it's less than about 60 F out. And they're very cheap, if you have good luck at the thrift store.

How are they working out for you?

I bought some inexpensive arm warmers from Nashbar a while back, I think they turned out to be DeFeet brand, and made of fiber from recycled plastic bottles. I didn't like them because the tops tended to roll down. Not enough to expose arm, but it annoyed me. I also had some Louis Garnaue leg warmers, lycra with the thermal fleece lining. Very comfy and they stay up. I just went out today and bought the matching arm warmers.

I do like having the choice of peeling them off and sticking them in my pocket if it gets too warm.

I have some cashmere sweaters from my fat years. How do you convert them to leg warmers?
